Italian 302

New Italian Espresso 2 Textbook

New Italian Espresso 2 Workbook

Description

Adult Italian Intermediate 302 is designed for students who have an established mid-intermediate knowledge of Italian. This dynamic 10-week course will improve your Italian skills with practical language you can immediately use in real-world situations!

This engaging course goes beyond textbook Italian to help you navigate actual scenarios you’ll encounter when traveling, relocating, or communicating with Italian speakers. You’ll master the language skills needed to find the perfect apartment, describe your dream home, and express your preferences with confidence.

What you’ll learn:

  • Decode and craft authentic Italian rental advertisements
  • Eloquently describe homes and living spaces with precise vocabulary
  • Express your wishes, likes, and dislikes with natural fluency
  • Navigate hypothetical situations using the subjunctive tense
  • Provide thoughtful advice in Italian using the conditional tense
  • Compare options using comparative structures (better than, worse than, equal to)
  • Master double pronouns and the versatile “ci” – crucial elements for natural conversation
  • Count with ordinal numbers like a native speaker
  • Build an extensive vocabulary of home features, furniture, and housing types
  • Use sophisticated expressions like “al posto + possessive adjective”
  • Learn specific work-related lingo to enhance professional communication
  • Utilize adverbs and conjunctions to create longer, more complex sentences

Our interactive teaching approach ensures you’ll be actively speaking, listening, reading, and writing in every session. The course specifically focuses on helping you formulate more complex thoughts and opinions, elevating your conversational abilities to near-native fluency.

All classes are recorded and students will receive the link to the recording the day after class via email. This allows you to review material at your own pace and catch up if you miss a session.

By the end of this 10-week journey, you’ll navigate Italian housing conversations and workplace discussions with confidence and cultural understanding! Your teacher is Nadia.
