About Italian 7

This course is suitable if you have completed the Italian level 6 course or if you have A2 level through other means, for example by successfully completing the Allegro 2 teaching method or the Con Piacere 2 teaching method (up to chapter 7). Not sure what your language level is? Then take our free online entry test.

During the course, you will practise reading longer articles and looking up specific information in written texts. This will help you understand the main idea of an article and answer questions about it. In the area of speaking and writing skills, you will work on difficult sentence structures such as formulating a sentence in the past perfect tense with personal pronouns as direct objects. You will learn how to express “need something” in two different ways. Furthermore, you will know how to formulate a comparative sentence.
