Italian Intermediate Club (Ongoing): Really Understanding Italian

This course is a part of the series called Italian Intermediates. If you are unsure if your student is at an intermediate level, feel free to try a class and see how it goes. In general, if they can understand a base-level of conjugating verbs then they can join. It very much depends on the student because some who are fairly new to Italian can pick up on harder information very fast while others need more time. As mentioned, this is in general at an intermediate level. My Saturday section will be easier than Friday section. Feel free to join both if you'd like to learn more each week!

Your child can jump in any week to learn the Italian grammar, vocabulary, verbs, songs, stories/fairytales, dialogues, conversation skills, and comprehension via shows like Bluey we are focusing on for this course. 

While the "content does not build" as in you don't have to know what was taught the week before to understand we are learning that day, "content builds" weekly in your knowledge and understanding of more Italian.
