Italian level 4
Course information
To take the Italian level 4 course, you need to have a thorough basic knowledge of Italian. You can, for example, follow the main news stories on the TV or in the newspapers, and conduct a short conversation.
During Italian level 4 you will further deepen your basic Italian skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. You will be able to converse on an increasingly wider range of topics. Besides everyday topics, you will be able to converse at the doctor's and at work (business language use). From Italian level 4 you will learn more about formal and informal language use.
By the end of this course your passive language skills (listening and reading) will be at a stable basic level enabling you, for example, to understand detailed spoken instructions and to read short stories, blog articles and written instructions.
You already have a good command of basic Italian grammar, which you will expand further during this course, with, for example, use of the imperativo (imperative), the congiuntivo (for example mi scusi) and the passato prossimo (present perfect) of modal verbs.
