Keep your Italian going in a warm, relaxed and welcoming class.

Italian Language - Level 1A: Intermediate
Continue your Italian journey with the first course in our Intermediate series. The Beginner-Intermediate program progresses through Levels 1A, 1B and 1C; after completing that sequence, the Intermediate program begins with its own Level 1A. Designed as the natural next step after Beginner-Intermediate Level 1C, this class is also open to participants who already have some knowledge of Italian grammar and verbs. At the Intermediate level, the focus shifts toward using Italian more actively - less explaining, more talking. Students will practice holding conversations, asking follow-up questions, telling short stories, building longer sentences, and understanding more spoken Italian. All materials provided.
