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.

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.

Introduction to U.S. Tax Reporting Requirements
Concerning Ownership or Inheritance of Italian Assets

If you own or inherited Italian assets (such as bank accounts, investment accounts, paintings, real estate and other non-business assets), you should be aware of various U.S. tax reporting requirements that may apply to your situation. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the imposition of draconian noncompliance penalties by the IRS.

This presentation is a unique opportunity to learn about these U.S. tax requirements directly from an experienced international tax attorney. While the focus of the presentation will be on tax requirements related to a foreign inheritance, it will also specifically address U.S. tax reporting obligations concerning ownership of real estate in Italy (including ownership of a second home and co-ownership of properties with Italian family members).

The presentation is intended to be a broad introduction of this topic for non-lawyers. At the end of the presentation, the speaker will conduct a short Q&A session.

The speaker, Eugene Sherayzen, Esq., is the founder and owner of Sherayzen Law Office, Ltd. - an international tax law firm that specializes in U.S. tax compliance for U.S. and foreign persons as well as offshore voluntary disclosures.
