Class Overview

Continue learning Italian and build on the skills you learned in Italian Immersion - Level 1 in a low-pressure and supportive atmosphere. This class is conducted 90% in Italian, with time reserved for questions in English.  

In this class, review the basics from Level 1, including grammar, syntax, pronunciation, phrases, and numbers. Expand your listening and speaking skills. Continue to build your vocabulary. Learn more time expressions and prepositions, along with -IRE verbs, the present perfect tense, and more irregular verbs.

Enjoy more complex conversations with your classmates, and build your confidence speaking and listening in Italian.

Italian students usually have the opportunity to attend an Italian opera by Seattle Opera as a class at some point during the year, depending on the Opera's production calendar. Students enjoy discounted tickets with seats near the front, and a lively hosted Seattle Opera "mixer" before the opera begins.
