Esperienza Virtuale - Italian Immersion Program
Italian Book Club
Join Our “book club” - Leggiamo Insieme!
If you want to maintain, and perhaps improve on the language skills you’ve acquired, it can be helpful to experience the language in a variety of ways. To that end, Esperienza offers a great way to stay involved, keep moving forward, and to have a little fun in the process!
In fact, there’s no better way to increase your confidence and comprehension than to take the opportunity to practice, practice, practice. In that spirit, we are continuing to offer our popular Esperienza Virtuale “Book Club.” We’ll read a book together (in Italian) and meet online for weekly discussion, to allow you to reinforce your early skills or grow in fluency.
Offered year-round at three proficiency levels, the groups will meet via Zoom for 8 weeks and are great as a stand-alone program for experienced learners, or as an addition to regular classes for beginning and intermediate students. Please refer to this chart for details about the levels referenced below and if you’re unsure which level is right for you, please contact us.
Advanced/Upper Intermediate: For students at level B2 and above
Intermediate: For B1 level students
Upper Beginning: For students at the upper A1 or A2 level

““Chi non legge, a 70 anni avrà vissuto una sola vita: la propria. Chi legge avrà vissuto 5000 anni: c’era quando Caino uccise Abele, quando Renzo sposò Lucia, quando Leopardi ammirava l’infinito… perché la lettura è un’immortalità all’indietro.“”
Translation: "By the age of 70, he who doesn’t read will have lived only one life. He who reads will have lived 5000 years. Reading is immortality working backwards." - Umberto Eco
