What Your Italian Textbook Is Too Polite to Teach
Advertisement
A course dedicated to Italian idioms, idiomatic phrases, and expressions used in everyday conversation.
About this Event

This is a dynamic course dedicated to Italian idioms, idiomatic phrases, and those "slightly cheeky" expressions that are often missing from standard textbooks. Students will uncover the hidden meanings behind these everyday linguistic formulas and learn exactly when and when *not* to use them, aiming to make their Italian sound more natural and authentic than the usual rote, "mechanical phrases." Through real-world examples, dialogues, and practical activities, the course will equip students with the linguistic tools they need to speak like a native with style, wit, and cultural awareness.


NUMBER OF SESSIONS: 4

SESSION DURATION: 60 minutes/each - The full package is preferable; however, it 's possible to purchase four standalone lessons

Italian Level Required: B1+


This work will be lead in Italian language only.
