Intermediate A2.3 Weekdays Morning ( Tue, Thu )

Class

At the A2 level of Italian, learners expand their basic communication skills and begin to interact more independently in everyday situations.

• Recognizing the main idea and key details in short conversations, announcements, and simple media content (e.g., weather forecasts, short interviews).
• Following simple instructions and explanations spoken at a moderate pace.

Speaking Skills

• Describing daily routines, past experiences, and future plans using simple connected sentences.
• Expressing preferences, opinions, and reasons in a basic way (e.g., “Perché…”, “Secondo me…”).
• Handling common travel and service situations, such as booking accommodation, ordering in restaurants, or explaining a problem.
• Participating in simple conversations about familiar topics with increasing confidence.
• Using formal and informal language appropriately in common situations.

• Identifying main ideas and specific information in simple narratives.
• Understanding instructions, forms, and everyday written communication.

Writing Skills
