  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.
