This 10-hour (5 week) special course is the perfect chance to review, practice, and better digest everything you need to know about verbs in the present tense. More focussed than our traditional Beginner 2 and 3 courses, students will concentrate exclusively on proficiency with verbs and reviewing accurate use of present-tense conjugations in more detailed sentences in a variety of social contexts, such as speaking with family and friends about social plans, daily activities, one's profession and hobbies, as well as likes and dislikes. Students will work together on new and sequential materials compiled by the director, with the aim of speaking with increased precision and automaticity, thus increasing comfort and confidence. This course will also build a much stronger foundation for proceeding to future courses such as Advanced beginner (Beginner 4 or 5) or Pre-Intermediate (1-3).when speaking in more detailed sentences with accurate use of many verbs in the present tense.
This course is designed to bring each individual student to a higher level of comfort and automaticity, and not all students need to have the same end goals. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of proper etiquette in cultural contexts such as cafes, restaurants and stores in Italy.
Prerequisite: Beginner 3.
Cost: $200
