This Italian course is designed for students from B1 to C1 levels. We’ll cover grammar, vocabulary, and communication skills to help you become confident in Italian. At B1, we’ll focus on solidifying grammar (past tenses, conditionals, basic subjunctive) and improving everyday conversation. 
At B2, we'll delve into advanced grammar (indirect speech, complex structures) and expand vocabulary for social and professional contexts. 
C1 students will refine language use for sophisticated topics, focusing on fluency and idiomatic expressions.

Key topics include: subjunctive mood, advanced conditionals, direct and indirect pronouns, and formal vs. informal language. Activities include conversation practice, role-plays, listening to authentic materials, reading comprehension, and writing exercises from informal texts to formal essays. We emphasize a student-centered approach with interactive lessons, cultural insights, and personalized feedback to support your progress.
  You can attend this course if you already have a B1 level. For a more customized course you can sign up for the "All you need is ...Italian" course"

General Italian language course  level B1-C1

Having a grasp of grammar and completing exercises does not necessarily equate to proficiency in speaking and understanding a language. That's why I've developed this distinctive lesson format focused on conversation. Key aspects and diverse opportunities include: discussing specific topics (e.g., travel, food, sports, art); refining pronunciation and reading skills; analyzing and commenting on a text (with various materials available, including books, articles, and original texts); and engaging in listening and comprehension exercises. Here an example of lesson:

Real conversation, for sounding like a local (plus listening and reading if you want)

This is my most comprehensive and complete course to help you with your specific Italian needs. It differs from other courses because for this course I invest more time in preparing the lessons to create original Italian content and help the student in more detail.

This course will meet all your needs: if you are at a beginner level, you will no longer have problems introducing yourself, ordering at a restaurant or communicating about everyday life. If you are at an intermediate level you will be able to improve and improve your vocabulary and listening skills. If you are already at a high level you will improve even more. I will cover in this course all the level of language. Another main different with the other courses is that I offer support between one lesson and the other and the activities. At the end of the lessons you will be provided with useful materials for learning Italian. You will be assigned homework if you wish.
