Info about the course and resources
This special New Year session is designed for high beginners, pre-intermediate and intermediate learners (A1+ to B1) who want a fun, dynamic way to restart their Italian after the holiday break.
Through ice-breakers, speaking games, creative tasks and small-group conversations, you’ll practise Italian in a relaxed and engaging environment. Activities are level-adapted, so everyone participates meaningfully while working at the right pace.
There is no grammar focus — just guided interaction, vocabulary activation, and lots of speaking opportunities to help you regain confidence and fluency before your regular course starts.
Depending on your current level, you are advised to review the passato prossimo, imperfetto, future and conditional tenses before the session.
