This 10-hour (5 week) special course is a more focussed and intensive variation of and expansion on Beginner 2. Students will focus more on verbs and accurate use of 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 can approach these topics for the first time, or students can expand on their current proficiency level with the material. This course is designed to bring each individual student to a higher level of comfort and automaticity. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of proper etiquette in cultural contexts such as cafes, restaurants and stores in Italy.
Prerequisite: Beginner Level 1 and/or Beginner 2.
Cost: $200
