Learn Italian from Zero
Eight in-depth lessons covering everything from your first "Ciao" to full conversations in the past tense — grammar explained clearly, real dialogues, pronunciation guides, mind-map recaps, and hands-on exercises in every single lesson.
What you'll be able to do
By the end of Lesson 8, with no prior Italian, you'll be able to:
Handle everyday introductions
Greet people, introduce yourself, and answer basic personal questions like where you're from.
Talk about your day
Tell the time and describe your daily routine using regular present-tense verbs.
Get around and ask for what you need
Use prepositions to give directions and ask for "some" of something with partitive articles.
Say what happened, and what you like
Describe things you've already done with the passato prossimo, and say what you like or dislike with piacere.
Find your level
A 3-minute honesty check across all six CEFR levels — answer instinctively and we'll tell you exactly where to begin.
