Italian stays Italian, the explanations are in English
It is how a good textbook works, and here it is a product rule. The verb appears in Italian — andare, essere, the passato prossimo — and the explanation of when to use it is in English. Forty-six grammar cards take you from A1 to C2, each with contrastive notes on the places English speakers reliably slip: the two past tenses, the subjunctive, articles where English has none, and the gender of every single noun.
What a lesson looks like
Fifty minutes in an online classroom that runs in your browser — nothing to install. The teacher keeps you speaking Italian and switches to English only when understanding depends on it. Afterwards you get a written analysis of the lesson: what worked, which mistakes came back, and what to review before the next one. You read it in English.
The days between lessons
That is where most courses quietly fall apart. Between lessons there is Nova: you speak Italian to her out loud, she corrects you without breaking the conversation, and she remembers where you stumble. Tomorrow's exercises are built from those stumbles rather than from a syllabus written for everyone — instructions in English, the sentence to complete in Italian.
Who it is for
For people who need to SPEAK: a move to Italy, family you want to talk to properly, citizenship paperwork, work with Italian suppliers, or simply because the language got under your skin. Any level — a placement test at the start tells you where you actually are instead of making you guess.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need any Italian to start?
No. Complete beginners are the normal case. The first lesson is about finding out where you are, and the teacher decides how much English to use based on how much you need. It fades on its own as you go.
How long is a lesson, and the trial?
A lesson is 50 minutes. The first trial lesson is 25 minutes — long enough to meet the teacher and see whether the approach suits you, with no commitment.
What language are the materials in?
The Italian you are studying stays in Italian: examples, exercises, readings, conjugations. Explanations, exercise instructions and your lesson analysis are in English. You can switch the interface language at any time and the materials do not change.
Is there anything to install?
No. The classroom runs in the browser, on a laptop or a phone. You need a connection and headphones.
Can I prepare for CILS or CELI?
Yes. Several teachers prepare students for the CILS and CELI certifications, and you can filter for that when you choose one.
