Improve your Italian conversation skills for everyday situations. In this course, you'll practice communicating in Italian more confidently and effectively through scenarios that focus on personal interactions: talking about daily activities and plans, expressing opinions and preferences on a variety of topics and making small talk. With guided conversation topics, visual aids and games, learning will be relaxed and fun. This course is ideal for people who already have at least a basic knowledge of Italian grammar and vocabulary and who want to improve their conversational abilities. Italian Conversation is eight sessions taught by an experienced language instructor with a passion for Italy and the Italian language. There will be no class on May 26.
