Italian Grammar SOS

Description

You know that feeling — you’re mid-conversation in Italian, and suddenly your brain freezes. Wait, is it gli or lo? Do I use the passato prossimo or the imperfetto here? Fare… don’t even get me started with its various idiomatic uses. If you’ve been studying Italian at a pre-intermediate or intermediate level and there are grammar points that have been haunting you all year, this summer series was made for you. Every week we’re tackling one of the grammar topics that trips up English speakers the most — breaking it down, building it back up, and making it actually stick. Think of it as a grammar tune-up: no fluff, no filler, just the stuff you actually need — taught in English, in a way that is 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 reset of the summer. Students who sign up for four classes will receive a discount automatically applied at checkout. Four Weeks. Four Headache-Toppers. Zero Boredom.

What You’ll Learn:

• Week 1 — November 4 | Direct & Indirect Object Pronouns | Lo, la, li, le, gli, le, ci, ne… Sound familiar? These little words pack a massive punch in Italian, and knowing how to use them and when to combine them is a total game changer. We’ll untangle the confusion once and for all.
• Week 2 — November 11  | Idiomatic Uses of Fare | Fare 4 passi, fare la doccia, fare la fila, fare la pasta … In Italian, “fare” does far more than “to do” or “to make”: you take showers, take walks, and take trips, all with the same versatile verb. We’ll explore its most useful everyday expressions, and your teacher will add a few bonus phrases Italians use daily to keep the class lively and fun.
• Week 3 — November 18 | Passato Prossimo vs. Imperfetto Ah, the classic showdown. This is the one that keeps intermediate learners up at night. We’ll give you the clarity, the logic, and the practice you need to finally feel confident choosing between these two essential past tenses.
• Week 4 — December 2 | Conjunctions | Però, anche, quindi, perciò… These little words are what turn choppy, textbook Italian into sentences that actually flow. We’ll break down how to link ideas naturally, contrast ourselves like a native, and finally stop translating “so” and “but” word for word.
