  Telling Stories in the Past
  

  Join us for a two-hour workshop focused on speaking about the past. Whether you want to recount a story about what you did yesterday or where you went on vacation last year, the past tense takes a lot of practice! In this workshop, led by a native instructor, you'll not only practice using the passato prossimo in Italian, but compare it to the past tense in English or other romance languages to finally understand how it works and how to use it correctly and more confidently.

  By the end of the workshop, you'll be a proficient storyteller in Italian and fully understand this tricky grammatical element!

  Prerequisite: Beginning Level 2

  To receive a refund, less a $20 administrative fee, all workshops must be canceled at least 72 hours in advance.

  Telling detailed and engaging Stories in the Past
  

  Join us for a two-hour workshop focused on telling stories in the past. Whether you want to talk about what you did yesterday with more engaging scene-setting, or whether you want to speak about a past vacation with inspiring details, distinguishing between the simple and imperfect past tense is an important step in proficiency. In this workshop, led by a native instructor, you'll not only practice forming both the passato prossimo and the imperfettoro in Italian, but learn why you choose one instead of the other more confidently.

  By the end of the workshop, you'll be a proficient storyteller in Italian and fully understand this important grammatical distinction!
