New Italian Language for Travel Class Starting June 29 2026
Feel more confident speaking Italian before you leave for your trip.
Planning a trip to Italy and already know some Italian?
This practical Italian conversation course is designed for learners from A2 to B2 who want to improve fluency, expand vocabulary, and feel more confident communicating in real-life situations while travelling in Italy.
Rather than focusing on grammar drills or academic study, this course helps you actively practice the Italian you are likely to need during your trip. Through guided conversations, role-plays, listening activities, and vocabulary-building exercises, you’ll learn how to communicate more naturally and effectively in everyday situations.
The course is ideal for students who already have a basic knowledge of Italian and want to review, reinforce, and expand their speaking skills in a relaxed and interactive environment.
Classes are held online via Zoom, with a final in-person session at the ICCA where students will take part in practical travel-style conversation activities that simulate real situations in Italy.
