The course includes 6 online lessons, one per week.

Course objectives

During the course, you will work on:

• speaking more spontaneously and fluently in everyday situations
• expressing personal opinions in a simple but clear way
• actively participating in group conversations
• interacting more confidently with a native Italian teacher
