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 — the whole course lives on your device. There are no accounts and no sign-ups, and your microphone is used only so you can practise speaking; what you say is kept just long enough to play it back to you, and is never sent anywhere. We never ask to track you, and never read your advertising identifier. The app does report a small number of events — that it was opened, that onboarding finished, that a lesson or unit was completed, that the purchase screen was shown, and that a purchase was started or completed — with nothing attached that identifies you or your device. They go to Meta, which measures whether our own advertising works, and to Google Firebase, which tells us how the course is actually used.
TRY IT, THEN DECIDE
The first three units are free — greetings, family, and the home, with no account and no time limit. After that, choose what suits you: a subscription, weekly or monthly, each starting with three days free; or one purchase that opens every remaining unit for good. No ads, whichever you choose.
