Continue your Italian journey with this engaging and practical course designed to boost your confidence in everyday communication and deepen your understanding of grammar.
Italian – Improvers Level C is the next step for learners who have completed the Improvers B course or for those with some basic knowledge of Italian who are ready to progress further. It is also a suitable entry point for “rusty” learners who feel confident working at a quicker pace than the Beginners or Improvers A/B courses.

This course focuses on helping you feel more at ease when speaking Italian in a range of everyday situations, particularly those relevant to both home and work life. You’ll practise telling the time using both the 12-hour and 24-hour clock, explore vocabulary related to places in town, learn to talk about opening times and dates, and describe your daily routines with greater accuracy.

You’ll continue to build on the grammar covered in previous levels, developing a more confident use of tenses, word order and sentence structure. In addition to speaking and listening practice, you’ll work on reading short texts on contemporary subjects, identifying key points and improving your overall comprehension.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a stronger grasp of Italian grammar and vocabulary, and greater confidence in using the language in real-life settings.

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.
