Quaderni Cils B2 -

CILS B2 assumes not just language, but cultural literacy. One Quaderno might feature an article on il fenomeno del turismo mordi e fuggi (bite-and-run tourism); another on telework policies in Italy. Without knowing that comune means municipality and INPS is the national pension system, you sink. The Quaderni are an unspoken Italian civics exam.
