Students who are new to ILB are welcome to contact us if they are unsure whether this conversation class or one of our structured Italian courses would suit them best.
Course Approach
Italian Conversation is a flexible, discussion-based course rather than a numbered step in ILB’s structured Italian pathway.
Topics and materials change from term to term according to the teacher, current themes and the interests of the group. Classes focus on helping students communicate more naturally, expand their vocabulary and develop confidence through meaningful conversation. No fixed textbook is required.
