Going on holiday is meant to be fun, and knowing a bit of the local language makes it even more so since making the effort to speak the language goes a long way with people wherever you may be. This course will teach you some of the basic language you'll need to manage in many common holiday scenarios.
What will we cover?
Have a go at a simple conversation when you’re out & about-say hello & goodbye, give and ask for basic & personal information ( your name, which languages you speak, where you are from etc)
Buy items in shops, ask about prices
Order food & drinks & ask for the bill
Ask for directions
Numbers including the time
At the hotel
Buy tickets, enquire about departure/arrival times/ delays & platform number
At the chemist
Cultural advice (e.g. tipping, paying in a café) which may be different from the UK.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
You should feel more comfortable about speaking Italian in some basic holiday scenarios, and you should understand a bit more about customs in Italy (e.g. ordering in a bar, etc.).
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This short course is meant for complete beginners, so no previous knowledge of Italian is required.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material. Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
There are no extra costs.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
Your tutor will be able to suggest other courses which may be of interest to you.
Ciao! My name is Veronica De Felice and I come from Southern Italy. I was born in Pompei ("not in the ruins", a joke I always make with my students) and I have always been fond of languages. Indeed, I studied languages at secondary school (English, Spanish, French and Latin) and I graduated at the University of Naples, l'Orientale, with a BA (Hon) in Modern Foreign Languages. I moved to London in 2002 and, after three years, I gained a CLTA qualification at Goldsmith University, and a few years later a level 5 Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector. In 2006, I started working as an Italian tutor in various colleges and universities, such as Goldsmith College, the University of Arts, Croydon College, University of Wesminster, City University and City Lit since 2010. At the moment, I am also teaching A level italian at LAE Tottenham, and the IB diploma in an international school in central London. I believe that studying and speaking another language expands your personal and communication skills, and makes you see the world from a different perspective. For me, learning a language is about challenging yourself, getting out of your comfort zone and having fun!
