Italian for Beginners

Go from ‘foreign’ to ‘familiar’ in this beginner’s course, ideal for anyone interested in immersing themselves in the Italian language.

You will start with the basics, learning common words, greetings, phrases and sentences used in everyday communication. Then explore the sentence construction and vocabulary that comprise this rich, romantic, and musical language.

Work on your pronunciation, speaking and listening skills. Build confidence through repetition and asking questions – after all, practice makes perfect! Conversational travel essentials (how to order food, ask for directions, book hotels) will also be included. Each topic can be tailored to meet each student’s needs and interests in the group.

This course runs for eight sessions, over eight consecutive weeks at our Lismore campus. The perfect opportunity to expand your vocabulary, whilst making friends and having fun in the classroom.
