Italian Grammar Fix for Beginners

This course aims to study and consolidate, in a fun and interactive way, four challenging areas of Italian grammar for beginners: nouns, articles, the difference between verbs essere and avere, and adjectives (and their agreement).

We’ll do lots of practice, solve all the doubts we have, highlight interferences between English and Italian, and most of all we’ll make grammar activities fun and communicative.

By the end of the 4-term, after having fun in a very welcoming class atmosphere, you’ll be able to use these grammar topics with ease and confidence!
