Grammar: among other things you'll review verbs in the present tense, adjectives and articles, and other grammar covered in first year Italian.

What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...

- talk about yourself and others
- use verbs at the present tense confidently
- talk about your daily routine in the past and in the present

Please note that the learning outcomes may vary depending on the general progress made by the students.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

This course is not aimed at complete beginners. You will need to have studied Italian for a year or so in the past. This course will enable you to refresh your Italian to be able to progress to a mainstream course next term.
It can also be a good revision course if you have completed an Italian beginners course recently.

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.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Based on tutor's own material.

When I've finished, what course can I do next?

The tutor will advise you on what further Italian courses will be suitable for you, depending on your progress during this short course.
