This course is ideal for students who have completed an elementary level (A2) and feel ready to start working at an intermediate level. Through topics that spark conversation — from lifestyle and culture to music, technology, and everyday experiences — you’ll build your fluency in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

As you move through the course, you’ll strengthen your ability to talk about the past, express opinions, compare ideas, and handle everyday interactions. You’ll also learn to use pronouns more naturally, and you’ll start becoming familiar with the subjunctive in simple, practical contexts, helping you express hopes, doubts, and personal views with ease.

Lessons are lively and varied, with plenty of speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities. Role plays, dialogues, and group tasks give you lots of opportunities to practise and enjoy using Italian with others.
