Participation in our evening classes provides far more than the opportunity to learn new skills but also numerous benefits to our mental health and wellbeing . Evening classes are known to lower stress levels, improve confidence, increase social integration, contribute to personal growth and lifelong learning to name just a few advantages.
This pre-intermediate Italian course is suitable for anyone who has recently or perhaps not so recently completed a beginners course and is getting to grips with pronunciation, spelling, singular/plural nouns, masculine/feminine nouns and the present tense of regular and irregular verbs.
You may already be able to introduce yourself, be reasonably familiar with the numbers 1-100, be able to have a go at ordering food and drink and talk about what you do in your free time.
Working from unit 5 of New Italian Espresso 1 textbook, students on this pre-intermediate course will cover the following new areas of grammar:
- prepositions (at, in, from, to etc)
- modal verbs (potere, volere, dovere)
- adjective agreements
- perfect tense verbs
- reflexive verbs
- possessive adjectives (my, your, his etc)
- future tense
while covering topics such as:
- travel (giving and asking for directions, giving the time, landmarks, using public transport)
- tourism (booking and describing accommodation, holiday activities, months of the year)
- weather
- holiday activities (what you did on holiday using perfect tense)
- describing daily routine
- family
- shopping for food and clothes in Italy
You do not need to bring anything more than pen, paper and folder to the first lesson. There is an optional text book which is the same one as we use in the beginners course. If any student wishes to buy the textbook, it is called ‘New Italian Espresso 1’ - ISBN 9788861827240. Photocopies will be provided for anyone who doesn’t have the textbook. Students need to keep a portfolio of their work, so ideally bring along an A4 folder, paper and plastic wallets.

This course is for adults aged 19 (as at 31st August of the academic year) or above who have completed a Beginners course but aren't quite ready to move to the Intermediate class.

Your tutor will be able to advise of further training opportunities.
