A group for those who already speak some Italian and wish to improve their conversational skills - or just practice a little.. Conversation is partly in small groups, partly all together. the atmosphere is relaxed and informal.

This is not a taught group, but the co-ordinator is on hand to clarify grammar, common usage, and any queries we may have.

The group is not suitable for absolute beginners; ideally you should be able to express simple ideas in the present and past tenses but there is a wide range of linguistic ability and the atmosphere is informal, friendly, and fun!

The format varies – occasionally a whole group discussion on a prepared topic; more often we take turns to talk about something of interest (prepared or improvised) and then we will usually split into small groups of 3 or 4 to chat.

We are open to anything which helps us improve our listening and talking skills and widens our knowledge of the amazing country that is Italy.
