The new Italian Conversation and Basic Grammar class is aimed at beginners, or people who have done a bit of Italian before. The idea is to learn together and have fun while we do so. 

We're using the BBC ‘Buongiorno Italia!’ coursebook as a basis for the learning, along with the associated BBC TV videos and audios. We will also be introducing other materials, making use of the wealth of material available today on the internet.

Classes (we say that in the broadest sense!) last for approximately 90 minutes.  We meet in the group members' homes, every Thursday during term time, except for the first Thursday of each month. 

Late applicants with roughly Low Intermediate language level are welcome; please email Shirley or Nigel, ideally with a bit of information about yourself and your interest in Italian.
