In the Preliminary Course, students are actively developing their Italian language skills while deepening their understanding of the culture and language of Italian-speaking communities. They explore topics such as the personal world, family, daily routines of young people, technology, and travel and tourism in Italy. These themes provide a meaningful context for students to strengthen their comprehension and communication skills in Italian. Throughout the year, they refine their ability to interpret and respond to a variety of Italian texts and continue to produce original spoken and written work in the language.
