Build your confidence in spoken and written Italian with this practical, fast-paced course designed for improvers and 鈥渞usty鈥 beginners ready to take the next step.
Our Italian 鈥 Improvers B course is ideal for learners who have already completed the Improvers A course or for those with a basic knowledge of Italian looking to refresh and develop their skills. This course is especially suited to 鈥渞usty鈥 beginners-those who may have learned a little Italian in the past and now feel ready to progress at a slightly quicker pace than a beginners course would offer.

The course focuses on helping you get by in real-life Italian-speaking environments, with an emphasis on building confidence in everyday conversation. You鈥檒l cover practical topics relevant to home and work life, including countries and nationalities, talking about jobs, expressing opinions about your work and discussing pay.

You will extend your knowledge of numbers to include thousands and millions, and learn how to use proportions and percentages in everyday contexts. The course also builds on the basic grammar introduced in Improvers A, developing your understanding of tenses, word order and sentence construction.

Through a mix of speaking, listening, reading and writing activities, you鈥檒l practise picking out key information from short texts on contemporary topics and learn to communicate more effectively and accurately. By the end of the course, you鈥檒l feel more confident using Italian in a wider range of situations.
