Le parole italiane di e

20 November will be World Children's Day. To mark this occasion, here are some Italian words derived from the word
BAMBINO // CHILD

1. Una bambinata || An extremely immature and childish behaviour

2. Bambinone || A very immature man
➡️ Strange as it may seem, this word is still used almost exclusively in the masculine form.

3. La bambinaia || The nanny
➡️ Strange as it may seem, this word is still used almost exclusively in the feminine form.

E all’improvviso… STIAMO PER TRASLOCARE!
È stato un sogno a lungo coltivato quello di trasferire i nostri corsi in un luogo dove poter crescere, coltivare i nostri talenti e riunire i nostri insegnanti e studenti. E siamo felici di annunciare che finalmente abbiamo trovato questa casa in Gerard Doustraat 220, a De Pijp. Nei prossimi mesi sposteremo passo dopo passo i nostri corsi (e i nostri mobili!) e se tutto andrà secondo i piani avremo la nostra inaugurazione nel gennaio 2025. Rimanete sintonizzati per gli aggiornamenti su questo trasloco e se siete interessati a maggiori dettagli o se volete discutere le opzioni di affitto degli spazi in questo nuovo edificio, contattateci a

Our conversation courses are the perfect option if you want to put your current level of Italian into practice. Conversation courses are a great choice if you want to challenge yourself, learn more vocabulary and practice with grammar in context. Always in a fun and stimulating way, as we like to do at Taalhuis Amsterdam.

We offer two levels of conversation courses

A2 on TUESDAY 12.30-13.30 (Online)
Do you already know the basic vocabulary and grammar of the Italian language? Do you want to keep practicing without studying further structures and verb tenses? If you want to put into practice everything you have learnt in the previous courses and keep exercising in a nice and relaxed way this is the course for you. We will work in pairs and groups so that everybody will have a lot of speaking time and we will simulate different kinds of situations you might encounter in Italy. We will discuss the Italian way of life and you will get a chance to refresh all your vocabulary and communicative skills!

B2 THURSDAY 20.30-22.00
Do you already have a good grasp on Italian grammar and an extensive vocabulary? But would you like to practice applying that knowledge and practice your speaking skills? This course is all about oral communication! A wide variety of subjects will be proposed during the course and at the end you will feel comfortable having an authentic Italian conversation!

🗣️📖 Do you have a solid basis in understanding Italian, but would you like to work on spontaneous speaking? In this course, you’ll use storytelling as a way to improve your conversation skills – as well as your creative writing through optional homework exercises. You’ll create stories around different themes, ranging from anecdotes about daily life to more challenging contexts where you can be as creative as you’d like. Storytelling is also an excellent method to practise grammar skills such as the use of pronouns and the various tenses.

This course is suitable for students with a minimum level of A2.
