You will receive some material on useful vocabulary and phrases for the session prior to the event so you can come with an idea of what we will speak about. Being prepared will help you to feel in control and more competent once I will engage you in speaking during our walk.
But don’t worry, I (Monica) will be there to support you along the way, help all the participants learn vocabulary & practice the correct pronunciation.
This small group session is open to any Italian language level. The main focus we will have is to build up confidence when speaking and to create a relaxed and friendly environment for everyone.

Introducing Italian - a new, three-workshop series for beginners.
Traditional language classes aren’t for everyone. If the idea of the whiteboard on the wall, the textbook and the class of ten or more doesn’t get you excited (or if it gives you flashbacks to school that you’d rather not think about), then read on.
We’re proposing something new. A very small group, in a warm and comfortable space, learning Italian together and speaking right from the start. With a glass of wine and a snack.
Three workshops. Three weeks. Only for four people.
Whether you have a trip to Italy coming up or you’ve just always wanted to learn some Italian, join us for this new, three-workshop series for complete beginners of Italian.
How is this different?
Solo per quattro… Only for four. This series of workshops is limited to four participants, to ensure a cosy and intimate environment where everyone gets plenty of opportunities to speak, participate and ask questions, right from the beginning.
Three workshops over three weeks. Signing up for a course that runs for several months isn’t possible for everyone, so we’re keeping this one short and sweet to give you an extra special experience.
All materials are included. No expensive textbooks to buy when you’re only just starting out.
The details.
When: Monday 5th, 12th & 19th August 2019, 6.30pm-8.00pm (3 x 1.5 hour workshops)
Where: The Su Misura Italy studio in Hawthorn, VIC (address will be sent to you after booking)
What’s included:
3 x 1.5 hour workshops to learn introductory Italian, led by Monica from Su Misura Italy, an experienced tutor and native speaker, and supported by Rebecca from Irregular Endings
All printed learning materials and tools – no additional books required
BONUS phrasebook compiled by Su Misura Italy to boost your first conversations in Italian
A glass of wine (or coffee/tea), plus a light snack, at each workshop. It’s aperitivo time, after all!
Cost: $300 per person (+ $7.14 Eventbrite booking fee)
Language WALKshop: Italian... all about Fashion
Il mondo della moda... Lo stile, i vestiti e lo shopping!
