Course Overview

Course Overview
For absolute beginners and those with a little knowledge
Mondays 7-8.30pm Yes - if you have NEVER studied Italian before and would now like to take the first steps. This course provides an introduction to learning the language and will suit you if you want to have lots of opportunities to practise speaking and understanding Italian.
Prosp Is This Right For Me
You will learn to understand, speak and read enough basic Italian to experience the fun and challenge of learning a new language. The vocabulary covered will be based on some of the everyday situations you might encounter on a first visit to Italy, e.g: greeting people formally and informally and introducing yourself; talking about where you live your nationality and your job and hobbies; ordering drinks and snacks in a café. By the end of the course you will be able to: repeat/say/understand basic phrases e.g. greetings; give and understand simple information concerning numbers and prices; understand short verbal instructions; recognize and read out basic words and phrases; use verbs to be, to have, to go in the present tense.
Prosp What Will I Learn
You will learn in a group of no more than 16 people. The emphasis will be on speaking and understanding the language so expect the main language of the classroom to be Italian. You will be taking part in simple everyday conversation, role play and games and will be given handouts. BBC Talk Italian 1 will be used as a textbook during lessons and some of the audio tracks as well. You will have the opportunity to learn via PowerPoint and the internet.
