Week 1: Talking about the time

Introduction

In this first week, you are going to learn and practise how to ask and say the time. This will involve using numbers as well as practising your speaking and listening skills. Before you start, you might want to revise Italian numbers.

When saying the time, the pronunciation of numbers is very important if you want to be correctly understood, so you might want to say the numbers out loud as you revise them. You will also have a chance to practise pronunciation in some of the activities that follow.

At the end of the week, you can test your learning with a quick quiz.
