This intensive refresher is ideal if you already know a little Italian — whether you’ve taken a short course, learned on your own, or picked up the basics while travelling. Over two sessions, we’ll revisit the essential grammar from Nuovo Espresso 1 Units 1–6 and practise using it in lively, real-world contexts. The aim is to boost your confidence, refresh key structures, and prepare you for continuing your Italian journey with ease.
You’ll take part in interactive activities that focus on speaking, listening, and grammar in context — making the language feel practical and relevant from the very first session.
