MyScribe is a calm, complete way to begin Italian — built for adults who want to learn properly, not chase a streak.
Most apps turn language into a game of points and pressure. MyScribe doesn't. There are no scores, no streaks, no timers, and no one nudging you to come back. Just a quiet course you move through at your own pace, the way you'd work through a good book.
It's built on four things you actually do with a language:
READ — Meet each phrase in print, with a clear English gloss and a note on the sounds that surprise you.
WRITE — Write it back by hand. MyScribe is named for the scribe in you: tracing the words yourself is how they stick, and it's the one thing screens usually skip. Prefer the keyboard? You can type instead.
LISTEN — Hear everything spoken by real Italian voices — Michela and Lorenzo, your native hosts — with Kate to guide you along in English.
SPEAK — Say it yourself, out loud, in every lesson. Then step into short guided conversations with your hosts and take your turn.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• A full A1 beginner's course — 20 units, from greetings to describing people
• Real spoken audio throughout — over 590 clips, all human-warm
• Handwriting practice on every phrase (or type, your choice)
• A Practice room for every unit: recognise words, identify sounds, choose the right reply, rebuild a phrase from memory, and hold a short conversation
• A Grammar bank that lays out the patterns you've been using, in plain language
• The sounds of Italian — a reference for the letters, names, and sounds English speakers meet first
• Gentle spaced review that quietly brings older words back before you forget them
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
MyScribe works fully offline. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and no analytics. Nothing you do leaves your device — your microphone is used only so you can practise speaking, and that audio is never recorded or sent anywhere.
TRY IT, THEN DECIDE
The first three units are free — greetings, family, and the home, with no account and no time limit. One purchase then opens every remaining unit, for good. No subscription, no ads.
Buongiorno — let's begin.
