Course Description -- Italian Level 2 Class
The Italian Level 2 class is for students who have previously taken our Conversational Intro class or who have had recently the equivalent of 25-30 hours of Italian instruction taken in a larger group setting. Students who have taken more than 30 hours in the past, yet are uncertain if this is the right class for them, can call us for an assessment of their Italian language abilities.
This Italian class will start with a basic review of conjugations of regular and some irregular verbs in the present.
In this lower intermediate class emphasis is placed on improving your basic speaking abilities and developing fluency. You will learn more and more irregular verbs and use them correctly in lower intermediate conversations, you will express possession, learn how to use needs and wants, permission and obligation. This class enables you to ask questions, understand answers, speak about your daily activities using the present and the past tense. Short texts, covering the Italian family, Italian regions, Italian culture and sports are used to enhance your vocabulary and to further your understanding of Italian people and Italian culture.
Grammar taught covers possessive adjectives, the present perfect, articulated prepositions, object pronouns and more complex irregular verbs.
Our small class size - on average 6 students per class - will make the difference when learning Italian.
You only can learn Italian if you actually try to speak it!
With us you will have the opportunity to speak and practice at least 100% more as if you were sitting in a classroom with 12-15 students.
Good language instruction depends on quality instructors and quality speaking time.
