Due Chiacchiere Insieme
(B1)
Discover Italy through the language of love in this 10-week course. Each week we'll read together from 7 Romance Short Stories in Italian by Serena Capilli.

As you immerse yourself in authentic dialogue and real-life situations, you'll build vocabulary, sharpen your grammar, and gain the confidence to express yourself in Italian with nuance and ease.
Throughout the course we'll also dip into short authentic articles on the theme of love and romance in Italian culture — broadening your vocabulary and sparking lively conversation.
