T4 Italian – Intermediate

Course Description

This class is designed for people who have done some Italian and know the basic verb tenses(present, past, imperfect, future). Although we do grammar exercises and we read passages and short stories, the main focus is on conversation. Your Tutor: Margherita Cavani I am a passionate teacher of Italian as a second language, qualified and with a 9 years of experience teaching in Perth (adult courses and pre school children). I can teach any level of students. I was born in Carpi (Modena) Italy, where I worked as a lawyer in a bank for 18 years. I immigrated to New Zealand in 2009 and in 2016 I arrived in Perth, the town of my dreams. I love culture, music, literature, sports. At school I have studied Latin, Greek, Italian, European Literature and Arts. I like to teach Italian mixing the grammar with the Italian culture, especially with the use of Italian movie clips and songs. My classes offer a variety of exercises in order to deliver the best possible tuition and an enjoyable lesson to my students. About the Course This class is designed for people who have done some Italian and know the basic verb tenses(present, past, imperfect, future). Although we do grammar exercises and we read passages and short stories, the main focus is on conversation. Students are expected to communicate in Italian on simple topics to be able to get by when on holiday in Italy and when speaking to Italian friends and family members. The class is conducted in English and Italian. Explanations will be given in English to make sure anyone can follow and understand, whereas the conversation, of course, will be in Italian.
