The method

Italian is practised
with your eyes, ears and voice.

Read · Remember

Every word in context

Article, plural, construction and a translated example: you don’t learn « abitare », you learn « abitare a Londra ».

Listen · Repeat

Train your ear

Dialogues at your own pace, then sentences repeated out loud.

Write · Understand

Feedback that explains

Fill in, reorder, write: every mistake comes with its explanation.

Ask

The AI Tutor, any time

Grammar, vocabulary, translation, documents and photos. It is an artificial intelligence: its answers may contain errors.

Review

Words come back at the right time

Spaced reviews, in small daily batches.

The path

You always know
what the next step is.

  1. 1

    Start at your level

    An optional placement test helps you find your level. Your goal can be changed at any time in the settings.

  2. 2

    Choose your pace

    Today’s plan adapts to a goal of 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

  3. 3

    Follow the thread

    Level, unit, lesson, exercise, review: one idea at a time, without getting lost.

Where does the course stand? The content covers A1 to B2, but only the A1 course path is open at the moment. The mock exams available depend on the level and the exam.

Prepare without pressure

Exam day
won’t be your first time.

Get familiar with the papers and the time allowed with mock exams in the CILS, CELI and PLIDA format, created by Avanti, with no affiliation to these organisations.

  • Practice with hints, or timed exam mode
  • Detailed results by skill
  • Your mistakes tell you what to review next

Results and readiness estimates do not guarantee success in an official exam.

Exam room: A1, A2 and B1 mock exams with their duration.
Duo: call a learner at the same level.
Piazza: friends’ statuses and feed of posts.

Together, you dare more

A Duo partner.
A community to talk with.

In Duo, send a short challenge to someone at your level. In Piazza, post texts, photos and videos, share a status, join groups and chat with other learners.

Your public profile shows your first name, the initial of your last name, your level and your photo. You can report or block someone at any time.

To get started: a 7-day free trial for eligible new accounts. The subscription and its terms are shown in the app before any purchase.

Good to know

Before you
start.

Avanti sends no newsletter: only e-mails needed for your account (activation code, reminders about the trial or subscription). Deleting your account stops all e-mails.

Do I need to speak Italian already?

No. The A1 course is designed to start from the basics. You can indicate your current level when you create your account.

In which language are the explanations?

In English or French, as you choose. You can change your support language at any time in the settings.

Is the app free?

A 7-day free trial is offered to eligible new accounts after the e-mail address is confirmed. After that, a subscription is needed to continue; its terms are shown in the app.

What if I can’t install the app?

On Android, open the downloaded file and follow the instructions on screen. On iPhone and iPad, open the link in Safari before adding it to the Home Screen.

What are the microphone and notifications for?

The microphone is used for pronunciation and speaking activities. Notifications tell you about a message, a friend request, a comment, a Duo call or the end of your subscription. You can turn them off in the settings.

Who can create an account?

Registration is reserved for adults. The rules that apply in your country can be found on the “Rules in my country” page.
