Bridge To Upper Intermediate (after Int.3 and before Upper Intermediate 1)

Before proceeding to Upper Intermediate 1, students who have completed Intermediate 3 have the opportunity to go over grammatical structures covered in previous levels in order to become more confident in their speaking and writing skills. They will refine their ability to describe events in the past and express their opinions while using different tenses and structures. Students will work on short Italian literary texts as a springboard for a thorough and a more in depth review of previous materials.

Please contact the school if you have not taken any other classes at the ICC before enrolling. An instructor will assess your level.

Leggiamo e parliamo! Are you interested in improving your reading and conversational skills in Italian? 

This class will welcome ICC members who are intermediate speakers of Italian.  Our first meeting will take place on Wednesday April 3 from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. This is an 8 week course.

We will read and discuss Italian literature putting into use our reading and speaking skills through the guidance of an ICC Italian native instructor.

We will begin reading "Novecento". The book can be purchased through Amazon using this link: 

https://www.amazon.com/Novecento-monologo-Italian-Alessandro-Baricco/dp/8807880881/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Novecento+Baricco&qid=1551408301&s=gateway&sr=8-1

A trumpet player of a transatlantic ship in the 1930s tells the story of Novecento, an orphan found abandoned on the ship and raised by an engineer and the crew. As an adult, Novecento plays the piano with an extraordinary talent and becomes the pianist of the orchestra, although he never took lessons. The story is about Novecento’s exceptional ability in playing jazz and his life as a man who has never been anywhere else except for the ship.

Pre-requisite: Intermediate 1

Cost: $240

Adults and students who wish to spend a period of time in Italy, either for tourism, cultural interest or study abroad, will benefit from a fast paced, communicative approach to the Italian language. 

This 6 week course, intended for BEGINNER students, will allow for simple but effective communication in everyday life situations such as greetings, getting to know each other, finding out about transportation, asking for directions, reserving a room or an apartment, shopping at a coffee shop or a restaurant. 

This course aims at reaching these abilities through simple dialogues, comprehension activities and a rich and illustrated vocabulary, all while discovering the rules of everyday life in Italy.  Tuition is $190, and all students must hold active ICC memberships.
