Apply for this course
Italian - Beginners B follows on from the Italian Beginners A course. The Beginners B course is for those who are not complete beginners. The main aim is to help you to ‘get by’ in an Italian speaking environment. This may be a good place for those “rusty” beginners who have learned very little Italian but have also got the confidence to work at a slightly faster pace than the Italian Beginners A course. Learners will also extend their knowledge of numbers to thousands and millions and use proportions and percentages.
Through this course, you will become more confident in spoken Italian in a range of everyday situations covering topics relevant to both home and work life including: Countries and nationalities; Jobs; Express opinions about your job; Discuss and express opinions about your pay.

You will build on the introduction to basic grammar covered in the previous course and deepen your ability to understand and apply a range of grammatical concepts including tenses and word order. You will also be looking at and picking out the main points from short texts on contemporary subjects.

In order to avoid disappointment, it is advisable to enrol at least 2½ weeks prior to the course starting. We will confirm course information two weeks prior to the start date. Please note there will be no class on 17/02/2026.

There are vending machines available where hot/cold drinks and snacks can be purchased. There are watercoolers on site making it easy to refill your water bottle. Parking is usually available for during the evening. If there are no spaces please use Marriotts Walk or Woodford Way Car Parks which are a few minutes’ walk away. Please report to Reception on arrival. A photo-id will be issued, for you to wear when you attend classes.

Entry criteria
There are no formal entry requirements for this course. The standard approximates to the Common European Framework Level A1. It is strongly recommended however for those who are new to the language that you have completed the Italian beginners A course.

If you are a “rusty” beginner, it is recommended that you speak to one of our tutors who will be able to assess the appropriate level of course for you.

As part of your course we may organise trips to assist you with your learning. Trips are optional, and you will not be penalised if you choose not to participate.
