Italian Advanced (B2)

Designed for students with a minimum 3 - 4 years of Italian tuition who wish to engage in active conversation and gain a deeper understanding of the language and culture. 

You are fluent using all tenses and a vast vocabulary. You are generally confident in using your Italian language skills and seeking the opportunity to practise and keep improving. Grammar still has some more secrets to reveal to you and the audio-visual resources used in class will help consolidate its concepts and bring you closer to Italy. This class is held entirely in Italian.
