Creative Reading and Writing in Italian (Level 2 – B1+/B2)
created and led by Cosima Ticali (Journalist, writer, and teacher)
Refine your Italian. Develop your voice.
This course is designed for learners who already communicate comfortably in Italian but want to go beyond safe, familiar language.
If you can express yourself but feel your Italian is limited in range or depth, this is where you start to refine and expand it.
This course builds on the foundations of Level 1, focusing on style, voice, and more advanced forms of expression.
What you will achieve
-
Write with greater complexity and more natural flow
-
Develop a more personal and confident writing voice
-
Use more precise vocabulary and varied sentence structures
-
Express more nuanced and abstract ideas
-
Learn to revise and improve your own writing
How the course works
You will work with:
-
Short texts by contemporary Italian authors
-
Guided writing tasks designed to stretch your expression
-
Targeted grammar and vocabulary refinement
-
Detailed, personalised feedback on your writing
Your writing becomes the basis for discussion, helping you speak more naturally and flexibly.
Why this course works
Reading exposes you to more advanced sentence structures and stylistic choices — something that is difficult to fully internalise through speaking alone.
Writing and rewriting then consolidate this knowledge, helping you move beyond familiar patterns and develop a more flexible, precise, and expressive Italian.

“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!”
