Who It’s For
You can communicate. Now speak with more independence.
You already have a solid foundation in Italian and can communicate about familiar topics and everyday situations.
You can make yourself understood, but you may still struggle to keep a conversation going, explain your ideas clearly, or speak comfortably when the conversation becomes less predictable.
Not sure this is exactly right? You don’t need to be 100% sure before enrolling — The Boss will adapt to you and make sure you’re placed in the right class.
Starting Point
Solid foundation across A1 + A2.
What You Can Already Do
Communicate about familiar topics and everyday life.

Everything you need to know.
Full curriculum
Consolidation of the main verb tenses · Introduction to the present subjunctive · Pronoun combinations · Relative pronouns · Connectors · Simple subordinate clauses · Expressing cause, consequence, time, contrast and concession · Structures for narrating, comparing and explaining · Longer, more coherent spoken responses.
Speaking & practice
Guided speaking training · Back-and-forth conversations · Real-life scenarios · Reformulation · Repetition and variation · Guided mediation and memory work · Longer and more spontaneous speaking.
Repetition & memory
Repetition is not going backwards. It's how the language sticks.
At B1.1, repetition also supports greater flexibility: you revisit familiar structures while changing context, tense, detail and communicative purpose.
Feedback & correction
We don't correct everything. We correct what matters.
The Boss guides you toward clearer, more accurate and increasingly natural speech, using prompts, repetition, reformulation and self-correction where appropriate.
What happens inside a class?
Learn → Practice → Speak → Get Feedback → Use It Again — with longer responses, explanation, narration, comparison, discussion and spontaneous interaction.
Who is this program for?
People with a solid A1 + A2 foundation · Who can communicate about familiar topics and everyday life · Who can discuss simple past experiences · Who can produce connected speech but still get stuck · Who want greater independence in conversation and to connect their ideas more effectively.
What happens after B1.1?
This page — and the price above — is for B1.1 only, the first of three 12-week programs that make up the full B1 level.
After B1.1, you move on to B1.2, then B1.3 — each is its own 12-week program with its own separate enrollment and payment. Once you've completed all three, you move on to B2.
