Italian Year 1 (Term 2)

Subject: Languages

Who is it for?

This course is for adults aged 19+ who have a little knowledge of the Italian language, including those who’ve completed our previous term of Italian Year 1, and an interest in expanding their skills.

What will I learn?

You will continue learning how to communicate in basic Italian whilst acquiring familiarity with the foundation of the language and some common expressions. Topics include:

• Requesting and providing basic information
• Introducing yourself and others
• Ordering food and drinks in restaurants, cafes or bars and making reservations, including spelling names
• Understanding and using regular verbs in the present tense and some common irregular ones
• Reproducing vocabulary learnt using correct endings agreeing genders and numbers, articles and adjectives
• Producing a basic written piece about yourself
• Identifying main meanings from an audio file and video at CEFR A1 level
• Contextualising cultural differences and traditions
• Talking about your free time (activities and frequency)
• Expressing basic liking and disliking using indirect pronouns

What could I do after this?

This course will equip you with the skills to communicate in Italian, which can be used in the community or when abroad.

If you want to continue learning the language, our Italian Year 1 course runs for one year. You could then progress onto further Italian courses with RACL or other local providers.
