## What is amo Italian?

A complete Italian course from A1 to C2: exercises, grammar explained and twenty-five classics rewritten for your level.
I have been teaching Italian to foreigners since 2018, online and in person between Ede and Amsterdam. I hold two master's degrees in teaching Italian to speakers of other languages: the ITALS master at Ca' Foscari in Venice, for Italian taught abroad, and one from Università Giustino Fortunato for Italian as a second language. I trained at a private language school in Amsterdam, and so far I have taught 38 students: a small number, followed closely, some of them from zero to B1.

This app came out of what actually works with them, and it comes down to three things.

The first thing is that you learn by answering, not by rereading. Every word here arrives inside an exercise, and when you get it wrong I tell you why: one mistake explained teaches more than ten lucky guesses.

Gabagool. Mozzarell'. Sfogliatell'. If that's the Italian you grew up with, it was never wrong: it's Neapolitan, Sicilian and Calabrese, worn smooth by a century in America. I show you where those words came from, and build standard Italian around them.

The second thing is that you need an order. There's a full course from A1 to C2, built on the official European framework levels: the rule first, then the exercise that uses it, and every two stages you stop and review. You always know where you are.

The third is that words have to come back. The ones you get wrong return at growing intervals, just before you'd forget them.

Then there are the books. Twenty-five Italian classics rewritten for your level: Pinocchio, Cuore, I promessi sposi, with the dictionary one tap away. Reading is what separates understanding a language from living in it.

If you're studying for a B1 level exam, the full practice tests are inside: listening, reading, writing and speaking, with corrections.

You can study in fourteen languages, including the ones other apps forget.

Every dictionary entry, every exercise and every explanation I wrote myself, one at a time, for my own students. What you find in here is my classroom, opened up.

Buon percorso.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.9.1 — 2026-09-02

There is a gift for you in the library: your notebook.

• Unwrap it, choose the colour of the binding, and the notebook carries your name. Every day is a new page, and with + you add as many as you like.

• What you collect while studying arrives by itself: the sentences you clip from the novels, the words you save, what you write in the stages. And with the pencil you write notes and questions right on the page.

• The app now opens completely for ten days, without asking anything: you come in and the whole course is there.

• If you already have your exam date you can say so, and the app remembers it: in your plan and in the reminders.

• On the Path, at the top, you will find a (?): a small guide explaining what each part of the app is for.

• The app always starts now, and when there is no connection it tells you instead of spinning. Locks explain how they open, and errors say what to do.

• Certificates carry the date you passed the exam, and your progress also lives in your iCloud: change phone and pick up where you left off.

• And if only the basic Italian voice is installed on your phone, now I tell you, and I show you how to download the natural one: it is free, it takes a minute, and it changes the whole app.

Thank you Mike, Erika and Giulia: many of these things come from your messages.

Writing with your own hands is half the studying: the notebook is there for that.

### 5.9 — 2026-08-30

### 5.8 — 2026-08-30

In this version the path gains three new steps: the same ones I use in class.

• Warm-up: before each stage you listen to a sentence and repeat it out loud, for about a minute. Repeating right after listening helps your pronunciation and fixes words in memory better than reading alone.

• Lightning review: two short stops along each level, one minute of exercises on what you have already studied. Coming back to things a few stages later is the most effective way not to forget them. It is not a test: you cannot fail it.

• More about your path: tapping the level at the top shows you what you will be able to do at the end, the grammar you will meet, and some notes for speakers of your language, at your level.

• The path now positions itself on your next stage. If you are updating, your progress is safe: you continue exactly from where you were.

• The app is also faster and smoother, with many small fixes.

Thanks to Mike, Erika and Giulia for their reports: part of this version comes from your messages.

### 5.7 — 2026-08-24

Improvements that came from your reports, plus a few touch-ups to the app: faster and simpler to use.

Thank you, and keep writing to us from the app!

### 5.6 — 2026-08-23

An update dedicated to your everyday study.

• The "Let's recap" reviews are now better distributed along the whole course, and every test now has its own review right before it.
• New exercises where they were needed, from A1 to B1: every rule in the course now has its practice.
• New Home Screen widgets: your day streak, the word of the day, the grammar of the day in your language, the novel you're reading and your friends.
• You can choose how to study: exercises and grammar, or exercises only. The choice is at the top of the course.
• Now on Apple Watch: your streak as a complication, the word of the day and a mini quiz on your wrist.
• Fixes from your reports: with "exercises only" the course moves forward without grammar, the rule shown next to each question is the right one, and Apple Watch syncs as soon as you open the app on your phone.

A heartfelt thank you for your reports: many of these improvements come straight from you. Keep writing to us from the app!
