You will have recently completed a Lower Intermediate course or have a GCSE, perhaps from some time ago. You will be learning other past tenses and other tenses commonly used on a daily basis in Italy like the subjunctive and conditional. There will be a strong emphasis on speaking and listening and more specific vocabulary will also be introduced. As the course progresses the course will concentrate more on conversation while still revising key grammar structures students may feel they have not fully mastered.
This course aims to enable students to talk about aspects of Italian culture and current affairs.
Topics
Saying what you would like to do.
Travelling and winter sports. Dealing with medical emergencies.
More emphasis placed on speaking skills.
Language structures
The conditional tense. Some uses of the subjunctive. The pluperfect tense.
The course will also touch on the conditional perfect and the past historic tenses if time allows, in addition to further use of the passive forms.
