Italian rewards careful pronunciation and a rich verb system. Train double consonants, the passato prossimo, and the congiuntivo with AI tutoring, spaced repetition, and lessons that move you toward speaking.
Practice ordering at the bar, navigating a Roman taxi, or holding a small-talk dinner conversation. Instant grammar correction, plus explanations of why Italians use the imperfetto where you used the passato.
Use case: Get talking and get corrected in the same session.
Italian has thousands of cognates with English, but the false friends (caldo, eventualmente, sensibile) trip up beginners. Spaced repetition resurfaces these specifically.
Use case: Stop confusing caldo (warm) with cold.
Two-minute adaptive A1-B2 placement so you start at your real level. No rebuilding from "ciao" if you already know it.
Use case: Skip beginner content if you are not a beginner.
Structured lessons for passato prossimo vs imperfetto, congiuntivo triggers, articulated prepositions (al, della, nello), and pronoun placement on imperatives. Real grammar, properly drilled.
Use case: Build the verb tenses Italians actually use.
Italian distinguishes meaning by double consonants — pena (sorrow) vs penna (pen). Practice with speech input and the app catches when your gemination slips.
Use case: Train double consonants from week one.
Vocabulary, lessons, and chat history sync across iOS, Android, and Web. Practice fits the gaps in your day.
Use case: Pick up exactly where you left off.

For an English speaker practicing 15-20 minutes daily with consistent output, conversational Italian (CEFR A2-B1) is realistic in 4-6 months. Italians are notably forgiving with learners — the social cost of speaking imperfectly is low, which makes practice easier than in some other languages.
Yes. The tutor uses the congiuntivo correctly in its own speech and corrects you when you skip it after triggers like penso che, credo che, è importante che. It explains the why, not just the fix.
Yes — and you should. Custom lessons let you build a vocabulary set around any scenario (ristorante, biglietteria, dottore) and the AI tutor will run the full conversation with you.
Yes. Start at A1 and the placement test will keep you there. Early lessons build pronunciation, articles, and present-tense verbs before introducing the past tenses.
No commitment. No credit card. Italian learning that respects your time.
