    Telling detailed and engaging Stories in the Past

    Join us for a two-hour workshop focused on telling stories in the past. Whether you want to talk about what you did yesterday with more engaging scene-setting, or whether you want to speak about a past vacation with inspiring details, distinguishing between the simple and imperfect past tense is an important step in proficiency. In this workshop, led by a native instructor, you'll not only practice forming both the passato prossimo and the imperfettoro in Italian, but learn why you choose one instead of the other more confidently.

    By the end of the workshop, you'll be a proficient storyteller in Italian and fully understand this important grammatical distinction!

    Prerequisite: Beginning Level 2

    To receive a refund, less a $20 administrative fee, all workshops must be canceled at least 72 hours in advance.
