  Telling Detailed and Engaging Stories in the Past 
  Open to everyone – members and non-members alike!

  Join us for a dynamic and rewarding two-hour workshop designed for Pre-Intermediate Italian students who want to tell stories in the past with greater confidence and flair.

  Whether you're recounting what you did yesterday or describing a past vacation in vivid detail, learning to distinguish between the passato prossimo and imperfetto is an essential step toward proficiency.

  This student-centered, highly interactive session focuses on oral practice and will help you:

  • Confidently form both past tenses
  • Understand when and why to use one over the other
  • Tell more engaging and accurate stories in Italian

  By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel more empowered to share your past experiences in Italian with clarity and nuance.

  Prerequisite: Completion of Beginning Level 5
  Cost: $45 for Members | $55 for Non-Members
  Refund Policy: To receive a refund (minus a $20 administrative fee), cancellations must be made at least 72 hours in advance.
