No prior knowledge is needed \u2014 just curiosity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn alongside others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our aim is to gently introduce ourselves to the Italian language using a wide range of self-help resources: books, CDs, television, radio, online tools and anything members find useful. The group thrives on mutual encouragement, sharing ideas and discovering the language together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We meet every fortnight (1st and 3rd Thursday of the month) at 10am in a group member\u2019s home. Sessions last around an hour and a half, with a short break for refreshments. The time between meetings offers a chance to practise new words and phrases at your own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This friendly, established group is ideal for anyone who has already begun learning Italian and wants to continue building confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to start from the very beginning, you can also enquire about our Italian Beginners Taster Sessions using the contact form below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:19% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sandra-1001x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32630 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sandra-1001x1024.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sandra-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sandra-768x786.jpg 768w, https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sandra-1501x1536.jpg 1501w, https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sandra-2001x2048.jpg 2001w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information contact Sandra Dean<br>use the contact form below:-<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-contact-form is-layout-flex wp-container-jetpack-contact-form-is-layout-2916f6f8 wp-block-jetpack-contact-form-is-layout-flex\"><a href=\"https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/?page_id=12069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Submit a form.<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2013 Learning Together, the Friendly Way We are a supportive beginners\u2019 group who have been successfully learning Italian without a tutor, simply by helping one another.
