ITALIAN INTENSIVE:
Foundations II
ITALIAN DELIVERED IN A WAY YOUR BRAIN WAS DESIGNED TO ABSORB
Two weeks that will bring your Italian to life.
Join a community of Italian learners every day for two weeks (minus the weekend) and experience a transformation in the Italian you understand and can speak.
No pressure. No grammar drills.
No memorizing vocabulary.
Foundations 2 builds on what you've already know, introducing richer vocabulary, more layered stories, and cultural context that makes the language feel alive and rooted.
You'll watch short videos, read, and co-create stories, and the cultural thread running through each class gives the language somewhere real to land.
("Foundations II was formerly called "Advanced Beginner")
