Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 August – Melbourne

 

Parla italiano at the dining table!

In Italian households, La tavola is the most treasured piece of furniture for two favourite activities that take place daily around it: eating and talking. Combining the two, ‘A TAVOLA’ – literally ‘at the table’ – will be the theme for Weekend Italiano Autumn 2009.
 
Blending hands-on workshops with the cultural history of food and etiquette, Weekend Italiano A TAVOLA will improve your language skills as well as your culinary expertise. Attend Saturday, Sunday, or the whole weekend to experience a new series of workshops ranging from Gnocchi-making to Food through art; from Agriturismo to The art of coffee, that will enable you to experience Italian life A TAVOLA.

 

You will make some traditional Italian dishes, set a formal dining table and learn how to choose the best restaurant in town – all of this of course parlando italiano!

 

The new programme will offer more in-depth and structured communicative activities. Weekend Italiano A TAVOLA caters to beginners, advanced, and lower and upper intermediate speakers, with each level adapting vocabulary and grammatical structures to students’ abilities.
           
Once again, gourmet lunches – prepared by selected chefs – will provide insight into Italian culture, history and traditions.
 
Weekend Italiano A TAVOLA will take place in Melbourne on the 22nd and 23rd of August at Co.As.It, Carlton. For more information about the venue click here.
