This follows on from the Italian improvers B course where you will improve further your conversation and your understanding of short dialogues and short texts and make yourself understood in a range of increasingly unpredictable everyday situations.
During this course you will work to be able to develop a deeper understanding of the subject in applying the language in in relation to certain activities examples of which are listed below

- Describing places - Using transports - Buying fruits and vegs in a market - Buying in a grocery shop - Discussing shopping preferences

The main topics are designed for those who wish to converse a little more confidently in the language when visiting the country or in a working environment.   If you are to gain maximum benefit and enjoyment from your language class, it will be useful to spend some time working between sessions. There will usually be a small amount of learning homework set each week (up to an hour’s work). When homework is not set, it is still a good idea to spend about that amount of time going over what has been done in class.

Italian - Intermediate Level A
Entry criteria
This is a course for those who have already studied the language at school for one or two years, or followed a course for 50 - 60 hours, or else have spent some time in the country on holiday or business trips. You will already be able to cope with a range of simple everyday situations using the present tense and be able to recognise the past tense when you hear or read it. The standard approximates to level A1/A2 in terms of the Common European Framework.
Fee information
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.

There are bursaries available to help you with other course costs. Call 01235 216 212 for more information.
