Survival Italian
Most apps teach you that the cat drinks milk. This one teaches you to ask what the rent is, tell a pharmacist what hurts, and get through an appointment at the Questura.
Flashcards you tap to flip, each one with a listen button. Formal and informal phrases are labelled, so you never address a police officer like a flatmate.
Type what you hear, choose the right option, fill in the missing word, then race through a matching game.
Branching dialogues where your reply changes what the other person says next. Play the whole exchange back as audio when you are done.
Every phrase joins a review queue that returns it just as you are about to forget it — after one day, then three, seven and fourteen.
14 lessons and 3 full roleplays across 17 modules — plus a phrasebook that fills itself as you go, and XP, streaks and badges to keep you honest.
Yes. There is no payment page, no trial and no card. You are never asked for payment details, because there is nothing to pay for.
So your progress, streak and review queue follow you between your phone and your laptop. That is the only reason.
Nothing. They are stored so the app can show you your own progress, and they are never sold, shared or used for advertising. Your password is scrambled before it is saved, so nobody can read it back — including me.
One person — Mohamad Khalife — while preparing to move to Italy. If something is broken or confusing, email me and I will actually read it.
