Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Festa della Repubblica celebration!
We had a fantastic time together at A' Mano. A special thank you as well to A' Mano for being such a wonderful host and helping make the evening so enjoyable.
We'd also like to thank everyone who came along to our CineDante event last month. We have plenty more events planned for the second half of the year, so keep reading to see what's coming up.
Caffè & Chiacchiere
Sunday 5 July, 11am - Westside Stories
Join us for our monthly coffee catch-up at Westside Stories (93C Cambridge Terrace). Whether you're just starting to learn Italian or you're a native speaker, everyone is welcome.
It's free to attend, but please support the venue by purchasing a coffee or pastry at the counter. We'll be sitting just outside, in front of the entrance to the Britten Museum.
This will also be a great opportunity to have a chat if you are undecided on which course to enrol.
Scuola di Italiano
Last few weeks to enrol
Enrolments to our second semester courses - both in-person and online - are still open for another few weeks, but please join now before it's too late. You can find all the course dates on our website and enrol there.
