Italian Pre-Intermediate
Meets 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of the month. (11.00-12.30).
This Autumn Term we shall be reading, hearing and discussing a story that consolidates the language encountered in Al Dente 1. We shall be covering some conversation topics at a higher level, meeting new language in situ at pre- intermediate level, prior to encountering it in Al Dente 2 in 2025. Learners for this course should be familiar with the passato prossimo and we shall be meeting the Imperfect tense and learning how to use it.
If you would like more information or are considering joining us, you can contact me, José Hinton from September at 01305 261494. Meetings are in the Holy Trinity Parish Centre, Upper Classroom.

Italian Level 3
Level 3 continues weekly on Thursdays at HTPC 11.00 – 12.30, alternating upstairs and downstairs rooms, depending on whether Art is downstairs.
This is an informal group, meetings being almost as much a social event (most members have been with the group for a good many years) as an opportunity to learn or improve our grasp of the Italian language. The emphasis is very much on communicating. We do a variety of activities, including conversation around topics often agreed beforehand, listening comprehension passages, grammar and associated exercises, and reading, including working our way through Natalia Ginsburg’s Lessico Famigliare. The atmosphere is relaxed and encourages people to practise their language skills in an informal context.
There are now around ten people in the group so we are not actively seeking new members at the moment.
Kate Forrester has taken over as Group Leader.
We meet in the Holy Trinity Centre on Thursdays at 11:00 to 12:30.
For further details contact the group leader, Kate Forrester.
