Holiday Italian

If Italy happens to be on your list of places to visit this year, join us for this course that will be a very practical, holiday-based approach and will be an introduction to the Italian language and culture. 

No previous knowledge of the language is required, but those who have been studying Italian for a year or two, you will also find it beneficial.

During the 9-weeks, you will learn how to successfully deal with most holiday situations and, by the end of the term, you will be able to order food and drinks, buy bus and train tickets, ask for directions, shop for clothes, check-in at the hotel and much more!

So join us on an Italian holiday with some great language activities and lots of fun along the way!

Please note that this class will have a Half Term break on 13th February
