Facciamo una passeggiata in italiano nel giardino botanico!

Join us for a Sunday morning walk in italiano through Melbourne’s beautiful Botanic Gardens! La primavera (spring) is a beautiful time – no wonder this season has inspired so much in art, music and culture! The weather is warming up, everything is bursting with colour… What can you see around you? What is the weather like? Can you describe your surroundings and how they make you feel, in Italian?

In this 1.5 hour Italian WALKshop, we will wander through the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and practise speaking together in Italian about the natural environment, the weather, the feelings they evoke and the kinds of activities you like to do outdoors. As we make our way through the gardens, you will be encouraged to use Italian to describe what you can see and your thoughts along the way.

This ‘walking workshop’ is intended to be a fun, active and social language learning experience in a real-life context, where the natural environment of the Botanic Gardens serves as a prompt to talk about and describe different things in Italian that you might not usually cover in your regular learning space. You will be provided with some printed materials on useful vocabulary and phrases for the session to help you get started and the WALKshop hosts will be there to support you along the way.

This small group session is open to learners of all levels of Italian.

The WALKshop will be led by Monica from Su Misura Italy, an experienced Italian tutor and native speaker, supported by Rebecca from Language Lovers AU.


When: Sunday 24th November, 10.30am-12pm

Where: Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne – meet at Gate A on the corner of Alexandra Ave & Anderson Street

What’s included: 1.5 hour experience to practise Italian led by Monica from Su Misura Italy and printed WALKshop materials on useful vocabulary for the session

Tickets: $50 per person (+ booking fee)
