Italian Post-Beginners.... 2nd, 4th and an odd 5th Wednesday morning
In the autumn of 2021, we should complete Talk Italian 2 starting from Chapter 9, while also revising verbs in the past tense (passato prossimo). In 2022, we will need to start a new course book which will be decided after discussion and assessment of individual needs and objectives.
Do contact me for further information.

Italian Improvers.... 2nd, 4th and sometimes 5th Monday morning
In the autumn of 2021 we hope to start Chapter 4 of Al Dente 2. The book comes with CD, DVD and a wealth of written exercises. We are using it as a spring board for conversation, grammar revision and extension, plus more practice in all four language skills using a wider vocabulary. Other appropriate materials and activities are brought into the course in response to needs and interests.

Italian Level 3
Our activities have been somewhat curtailed since March 2020 when we began a weekly multimail on an agreed topic ranging from (early on) Meals We Had Made with Things Found at the Back of Store Cupboards to the American Election. This year (2021) we have grasped the nettle and begun fortnightly 40-minute Zoom meetings at 10.45 on first and third Thursdays. Not everyone participates in the Zoom meetings and therefore the multimail on an agreed topic continues (for all) on the intervening Thursdays. First theme for discussion: how Brexit has affected me, personally (or not). If you think you can talk about this for a minute without hesitation or deviation, this group is for you.
Having staggered to the end of our previous reader, we are currently (Jan 2021) looking for a new one. Last time it was Penguin short stories (parallel text), so anyone could have joined in midstream. This time we are embarking on a novel, so anyone who would like to join us should apply ASAP.
The group is currently full, when we meet in the flesh (in carne e ossa) but it does not matter how many are on a multimail and as not everyone Zooms, we can accommodate one or two more there pro tem.
For further details contact the group leader, Anneli Fisher.
