Italian Grammar SOS 2

Description

You asked, we listened. After the overwhelming response to our SOS Grammar 1, and by popular demand from our students, we’re back with four brand-new classes to tackle the grammar points that are still keeping you up at night. Same format, same energy, new headaches to cure. Whether you missed the first series or you’re a returning grammar survivor ready for round two, this is your summer reset, à-la-carte, no commitment required, just results. Every Wednesday in July, we’re diving into one of those grammar topics that feels like it should make sense by now… but somehow still doesn’t. Taught in English, designed for pre-intermediate and intermediate learners, and guaranteed to be engaging, dynamic, and yes, even fun.

Sign up for just one or all four!

How It Works: Sign up for just the class (or classes) that address your weak spots, or join us for all four and give yourself the most satisfying Italian grammar glow-up of the summer. Students who sign up for four classes will receive a discount automatically applied at checkout.

Four Weeks. Four Breakthroughs. One Soddisfatto You!

What You’ll Learn:

Week 1 — July 8 | Pronouns CI & NE Two tiny words. Infinite confusion. Ci and ne are among the most versatile and most avoided pronouns in Italian, and chances are you’ve been tiptoeing around them for way too long. We’ll break down exactly what they replace, how they behave, and how to use them with confidence so your Italian finally sounds like the real thing.

Week 2 — July 15 | Idiomatic Verbs: STARE, FARE, DARE, ANDARE These four verbs are workhorses of the Italian language  and they moonlight in dozens of idiomatic expressions that you can’t figure out just by looking them up in a dictionary. Fare finta, stare per, andare a finire… Sound mysterious? Not for long. Master these and you’ll suddenly understand so much more of what native speakers are actually saying.

Week 3 — July 22 | Relative Pronouns CHE, CUI and CHI Relative pronouns are the glue that holds complex sentences together and in Italian, knowing when to use che, when to use cui, and when chi enters the picture is what separates choppy speech from smooth, flowing Italian. We’ll map it all out clearly, with plenty of practice, so you can finally string those sentences together like a pro.

Week 4 — July 29 | The Conditional Tense Vorrei, potrei, dovrei — the conditional tense is not only incredibly useful, it’s also the key to sounding polite, expressive, and wonderfully Italian. From making requests to daydreaming out loud, we’ll cover when to use it, how to form it, and why once you’ve got it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
