Cultural Tip
In Italy, a 'corso di storia' can refer to a high‑school subject, a university lecture series, or even a short adult‑education class. When speaking with professors or classmates, using 'sicuramente' adds a friendly, confident tone, but avoid it in very formal written reports where a more neutral expression like 'certamente' might be preferred.
