Entry criteria
This course is designed for students who studied Italian for about two academic years and learnt to speak at the present, past tense tenses and future with some knowledge of conditional. Students should be able from the start to describe their weekly routine, to talk about their habits and their hobbies, analyse a few characters, provide opinions and express thoughts. The standard approximates to Level A2 in terms of the Common European Framework.

A text book is used to accompany the course but it is optional to buy this (average cost £20 - £25). The text book will support your learning for at least 1 year. You may also like to buy a small dictionary. Your tutor will be able to advise you at the first session.

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.
