Building from the Beginners 1 course, you are going to be learning how to go around town. If you have not studied Italian before but you are quick at picking phrases and you already know a few words because you’ve been on holiday to Italy, this may work well for you. You will start building up conversations based on real life. By the end of the course you will be able to:

  • Ask for and give basic directions for places in town
  • Say what there is with “C’è” and “Ci sono”
  • Ask and say what time things open
  • Find out information about bus times
  • Order food in a restaurant
  • Use simple verbs in the present tense (e.g. “vedo”, “penso”)
  • Say what you like and don’t like

After completing this course, learners typically move onto the Beginners 3 class.

This is a useful course to start with, if you already know basics such as greeting, numbers etc. If you are interested in joining, please email [email protected]

About

Bonjour/Ciao/¡Hola! I’m French-Italian and I speak Spanish. Growing up on the French Riviera near Italy sparked my love for languages. I studied Music and Languages then moved to the UK for 9 months, and several decades later, I'm still here!

After successfully using my languages in Banking and IT, I became a language teacher and have been teaching for the past 20+ years. I am cheerful, patient and enthusiastic. I am good at helping people of all levels overcome their fear of speaking a foreign language, focusing on building confidence and having fun.
Holidays are spent in France, Italy or Spain with my husband and our two boys, who are brought up bilingually in French but are also learning Spanish and Italian.
I sing in my spare time, walk the dog, look after friends' dogs and grow plants, usually fruit and veg. I love foraging so my children are used to eating "spinach" of dubious provenance. I also teach GCSE and A Level to whomever needs a boost with their exams.
