## What is Parola?

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.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-03

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.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-14

Cleaner recordings.

Around seven hundred words had a faint extra sound just before the word began —
a click or a fragment left over from how the recording was cut. It was small,
but on a word you are trying to learn to hear, small matters. Those are now
clean.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-14

Better pronunciation.

Several hundred word recordings have been re-made. Some were cut short before
the word finished, and a few carried a stray sound at the start; both are fixed.

Reviewing a word now plays the word itself rather than an example sentence, and
you can tap the sentence to hear it separately. A drill that shows a definition
no longer reads the answer aloud before you have answered it.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-10

No release notes.
