About

Parola teaches Italian vocabulary the way a dictionary would, if a dictionary drilled you. Every word is introduced with a picture and no English at all, then given its meaning, then put to work in a sentence, a story, and finally a conversation between two people. By the time you reach the dialogue, it is built entirely from words you met ten minutes earlier. Above beginner level the app goes monolingual, because that is how advanced learners actually study: the definition is in Italian, and the English sits behind a single tap for when you want it. Every one of the 3,400 words carries both — a real definition, not a one-word swap, because "interview" does not tell you that un colloquio is specifically the conversation in which a candidate is judged. • 3,400 words from A1 to C2, in sixteen themed units and sixty-five word sets • Every word spoken aloud — four thousand recordings, checked one by one • Spaced repetition that schedules each word on how well you actually knew it • Works completely offline. No account, no subscription, no tracking. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to buy. Everything ships inside the app.

What's New in Parola

1.3

October 3, 2026

Thirty-four new units. Parola now has 55 units and 3,836 words. Most of what is new sits at B1: technology and the phone, the office and its paperwork, the pharmacy, arguing a point and conceding one, going out, presenting an idea, the night sky, the history of religion, giving and receiving a compliment, a transport strike, the gym, and the documents Italy asks you for. Every new word carries its definition in Italian as well as English, written to explain rather than translate. "Interview" does not tell you that un colloquio is specifically the conversation in which you are being judged, and there is no English word at all for una fascia di garanzia, the hours a strike has to keep the buses running. You can now drill only the words you got wrong, or only the ones you skipped. Those are different kinds of not knowing and they deserve different practice. Typing an answer no longer needs a button hidden behind the keyboard, a swipe skips a card, and going back returns you to where you were in the list. A few recordings had been speaking years incorrectly — 1302 came out as "three hundred and two". They say the right year now.
