Book Club Summer 2026 - Upper Intermediate Level

Tuesday at 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT (US)
8-week program from July 7 - August 25 2026

We invite you to join us for Esperienza's online Italian reading program, a fun place to connect with local Italians from Romagna and other students, as we practice comprehension, speaking and listening in Italian. The program consists of 8 weekly 60-minute online group discussion sessions (using Zoom). Our groups are an excellent complement to formal classes or self-study programs.

This program is for upper intermediate students who are at the B2/C1 level. Our levels are based on the framework shown here. In this group level, some reading will be assigned before each group meeting, so most of our time may be devoted to discussion of the book and to specific, more challenging passages.

If you are unsure of your level, please contact us as soon as possible to request a placement evaluation.

We will be reading "Le cosmicomiche (Oscar opere di Italo Calvino Vol. 10)" by Italo Calvino, which is rated B2/C1. In addition to registering for the program, students will need to purchase the book. It is available here in paperback or Kindle edition here
