Creative Writing and Reading in Italian (Level 1 – B1)
created and led by Cosima Ticali (Journalist, writer, and teacher)
Break through the intermediate plateau
This course is designed for learners who already know Italian but feel stuck at intermediate level.
If you can understand a lot but struggle to express yourself clearly and naturally, this is where things change.
What you will achieve
-
Move from simple sentences to structured, confident writing
-
Develop short pieces of writing step by step
-
Activate vocabulary you already recognise but rarely use
-
Improve accuracy with key intermediate grammar in context
-
Gain confidence expressing ideas through your own writing
How the course works
You will work with:
-
Short texts by contemporary Italian authors
-
Guided writing tasks (step by step)
-
Targeted grammar support
-
Personalised feedback on your writing
Your writing becomes the basis for discussion, helping you speak more naturally and confidently.
Why this course works
Reading shows you how Italian sentences are really built — something you rarely internalise through speaking alone. Writing then consolidates that knowledge, turning recognition into confident, active use.

“Not only did my confidence grow in speaking Italian, but also in writing Italian. I studied and learnt so much about the short story, and was introduced to authors I would never have read otherwise, especially contemporary Italian writers.
Each lesson had a clear focus, and I couldn't wait — I looked forward to every session. I was encouraged to write, and I loved this challenge. Through writing, I discovered that I didn’t just have to learn verb tenses — I actually wanted to.
I now have a much deeper understanding of the nuances and structure of a story, and a real admiration for authors. I will read and watch films in a completely different way — and I want to write!
To be studying this in Italian was so stimulating, interesting and useful. Thank you!”
