The Italian Book Club

Italian Book Club

Join the Parla Italiano School Book Club online on Zoom! We meet once a month for 1.5-hour sessions that fly by. Courses usually include four sessions. Check here our current book club.

Main Aim:

  • Discuss the chapters read
  • Develop speaking skills
  • Enhance vocabulary
  • Deepen your understanding of Italian culture

How It Works:

  • At the start of each month, the teacher will send you selected chapters and a worksheet to guide your reading. These chapters are manageable within the timeframe.
  • Sessions have a structured format based on the worksheet, yet remain flexible to encourage full expression.
  • Zoom allows for smaller breakout groups, ensuring everyone gets plenty of speaking time.
  • Meet like-minded individuals who enjoy discussing and exchanging ideas.
  • The teacher will supervise and guide discussions, help clarify language points, and introduce new vocabulary as needed.

Program Highlights:

  • Carefully designed to include contemporary authors such as Antonio Tabucchi, Dacia Maraini, Lorenzo Maroni, Elsa Morante, Alessandro D’Avenia and more.
