What will we cover?

What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
Gain confidence on your listening skills - Be aware of some tricks and tips of how Italian is spoken - Better recognise sounds and intonation - Have a better-trained ear to understand spoken Italian more easily.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This course is intended for lower intermediate students of Italian. For City Lit students, that will mean students at 2 Lower or 2 Upper. You should have studied Italian for at least a year. Please note that this is a listening skills course, so the focus will be on listening skills rather than grammar or vocabulary.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
There are no additional costs or texts. Students will need an internet connection to be able to access the class on Zoom, and earphones or headphones are suggested to make listening easier.
