Italian Beginners
Italian Beginners
We'll aim to cover the following subjects: we'll learn how to say who you are, where you live, what your job is, and talk about your family. We'll look at how to buy clothes in a shop, book into a hotel, get out of an airport, and how to order food in a restaurant.
As far as the grammar is concerned we'll look at singular and plural, masculine and feminine, and the present tense, and if things go quickly, we may look at the past tense too. The main emphasis will be on speaking the language, so that you can go to the country, and make your way around. We might have a go at things like Italian twenty questions, and learn some songs and sayings.

Testimonials
"I have completed the Italian beginner and intermediate courses with Susan and the pace of the classes is excellent, adjusted to the level of the students and their needs. Classes are informal, fun and a good mix of vocabulary, grammar and oral practise." Fariel, HSBC Global Asset Management
"I have been meaning to learn Italian for over 20 years; having beginner classes in the HSBC Tower has finally meant I can begin. They are pitched at just the right level with likeminded linguists learning beside me." James Young, HSBC
"The thing I found most rewarding about the class was the opportunity to learn grammar and conversational Italian, which you would never glean from something like Duolingo." Isabelle, NRF
"I enjoy Susan’s classes because they are conducted in a warm friendly environment where participation is key but constructed so everyone has equal opportunity to participate and everyone in the class helps each other throughout the sessions. Her explanation of the language, how it is/can be interpreted and how it relates to everyday life really helps in the understanding and builds a foundation to learn a new language." Ben Brinkman, Global Banking and Markets
"Just a brief email to say thank you for the wonderful Italian classes you have been running. I’m looking forward to continuing next term and to practising my Italian when I go to Italy this summer." Alexandra, Partner, Anthony Gold
"I am coming to the end of my first team of learning beginners level Italian with Susan and have enjoyed it so much I have already signed up for the next term! The lessons are informal and fun. Susan is an excellent teacher who works at the pace of the class and I have learnt a lot in just a few weeks. I am looking forward to my Italian holiday to put my new found knowledge into practice." Elise, PwC
