COFFEE & CHAT with Valeria

You live already in Italy or maybe you're planning to pack your things and move to this beautiful country. 
Whatever your reason for studying Italian, the time has come to formalize your efforts and work toward a real goal: the CILS certification.
I help students like you prepare for the test and simulate the exam to improve both fluency and accuracy.
With the help of the textbook "Percorso Cils", I will help you practice the 4 skills tested by the exam: listening, reading comprehension, analysis of communicative structures and grammar, written production and the dreaded oral test.

"Se riuscissi a usare il congiuntivo, il mio italiano sarebbe fantastico!"
"If I could use the subjunctive, my Italian would be amazing!"

Does "Congiuntivo Italiano" drive you crazy?
I understund you, congiuntivo is difficult for Italians too...
But it's important to handle it if you want to "upgrade" your Italian!

This course will cover 5 areas:
- Why do we use congiuntivo? When is it necessary?
- Different tenses of congiuntivo  (presente/imperfetto/passato/trapassato)
- Congiuntivo as independent clause
- Congiuntivo tenses consistency
-  Hypothesis with subjunctive & conditional mode (Periodo ipotetico di 1°/2°/3° tipo).

Congiuntivo is not easy. But you'll learn it with fun activities, interactive exercise, songs and videoclips. 
 
Be ready to give a classy touch to your Italian!
