Corso accelerato di ripasso grammaticale per l’esame B1 di cittadinanza
CP10-cost $330 - $390 The class will be held via zoom. There will be 10 meetings once a week for a total of 10 weeks.
PLACEMENT TEST is highly recommended for this course $390 (not for AIS students who will need the OK from their AIS teacher -$330) We believe we can trust our teachers' judgment regarding a candidate's readiness for the CP-10 course. That's why the PT is not required for AIS students. If you think your level of Italian is sufficient to take CP-10 without taking the PT, send us an email in which you assert this. If the teacher then deems that your preparation is inadequate and hinders the class's progress, we reserve the right to remove the student and direct him/her to other classes.
CP10 Course Description
This course offers an overview of the grammar necessary to pass the B1 citizenship exam by CILS. This course is designed for students who are close to a B1 level and need to practice the grammar needed for the exam. It is not meant to be a grammar explanation course, but rather a review course to deepen knowledge and clarify doubts. Students should already have a basic knowledge of the grammar covered (e.g. present tense, passato prossimo, imperfetto, irregular verbs, and pronouns). This course offers students the opportunity to review this grammar thoroughly and practice in a small environment to better approach the citizenship exam.
