This is a friendly self-teaching group. We have an excellent group 'leader' in Marion, and other members who can stand in her absence. We formed in February 2014 as Beginners. Speaking Italian is one of our main objectives, along with some listening, comprehension, and grammar exercises. We meet fortnightly via Zoom and have also recently begun to meet face to face in a pre-chosen venue for the last session of the month. Our vocabulary is probably in the order of 3,500 words or more (for some). We use various learning aids including books and online resources which often deal with current topics, Italian literature, culture, customs, and contemporary life. There is usually a little homework to do in the week.
The group welcomes new members of roughly the same standard, or higher as our learning has been enriched by members who are more fluent than the majority of the group. The group coordinator is happy to be contacted for membership requests, advice on starting up any new beginners' group, or any other enquiries
