## What is Sonetto?

Sonetto is a calm, focused way to learn Italian — and it works entirely offline. No account, no ads, no tracking. Just you and the language.

CONJUGATION, DONE PROPERLY
Practice 965 Italian verbs across every mood and tense — presente, passato prossimo, imperfetto, passato remoto, futuro, condizionale, congiuntivo, imperativo and more. Every form is generated by a verified conjugation engine, so irregular verbs (essere, avere, fare, porre, condurre, the strong passato remoto…) are right down to the last accent. Type your answer and Sonetto checks it intelligently — Italian accents are optional, so "perche" is accepted for "perché".

REAL PHRASES YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE
Over 1,000 everyday phrases across 24 themes — greetings, directions, restaurant, travel, work, small talk, idioms and more. Each comes with its English meaning, and idioms include a literal gloss so you understand how Italian really thinks.

A VOCABULARY THAT GROWS WITH YOU
3,800+ words with instant tap-to-translate glosses, organised so you build from the essentials outward.

LEARNING THAT REMEMBERS FOR YOU
Sonetto uses a spaced-repetition system (SM-2) that schedules each verb, phrase and word exactly when you're about to forget it — so your time goes to what you're struggling with, not what you already know. A daily streak and per-tense mastery view keep you honest.

BUILT TO RESPECT YOU
• 100% offline — everything is on your device
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking of any kind
• Natural Italian text-to-speech (it-IT) on every item
• Light and dark themes, iPhone and iPad
• Optional daily reminder so you never lose your streak

Whether you're starting from zero or polishing your congiuntivo, Sonetto turns a few quiet minutes a day into real Italian.
