UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Italy
The most beautiful language
Italy has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country. Italian is the official language of classical music, and the cuisine is copied worldwide. Learning Italian isn't just useful — it's a doorway into one of the world's richest cultures.
The most phonetic romance language
Italian is often called the easiest romance language to pronounce — what you see is what you say. The vowels are clean, the consonants are clear. Wekos builds that pronunciation foundation with audio on every word from day one.
Every tense, worked out live
Italian has a conjugation for every person in every tense, and the irregular ones are the ones you actually need. Wekos works them out on your device from real rules rather than looking them up — irregular forms colored, the stem drawn apart from the ending so you can see what changes. The drill only asks for tenses your units have already taught, and a hint shows the whole verb without costing you anything.
The Wekos method
You'll hear a full Italian sentence before you understand every word. That's intentional. Meaning comes from context — every session starts with one, breaks it apart, and puts it back together.
Grammar without the pain
The subjunctive and reflexive verbs are where most Italian learners stall. Wekos surfaces grammar explanations mid-session — after you've already seen the pattern in a real sentence. No abstract rules up front.
Progression built in
Categories are ordered so each Italian session builds on the last. Wekos saves your place when you leave, and review sessions pull what you are due for. You always know what to open next.
What learners say
"Three weeks in I had a real conversation with a stranger and didn't freeze. I'd been 'learning' on and off for two years before this."
Jamie R.
Three weeks in
"The slang is labelled by region, so I stopped mixing up phrases from places nobody around me is from. People actually understand me now."
Elena V.
Living abroad
"I can see myself moving through the course — greetings, then verbs, then real conversation. I always know what comes next."
Nate H.
Restarted after Duolingo
"I grew up hearing it at home and still stalled on the grammar. Drilling it inside full sentences, in order, is what finally made it stick."
Camila R.

Unlimited practice
Every other free tier meters you somehow — hearts, energy, a lesson cap that hands you a countdown and an upgrade button. Wekos has no cap at all. Drill Italian for ten minutes or three hours, every day, and nothing stops you.
Hearts that run out
Make as many mistakes as you need
Energy bars and cooldowns
Never wait to practice again
A daily lesson cap
Practice all day if you want
Pay to keep going
Keep going. It is free.
Italian on Wekos is not a free sample. Every sentence, every category and both voices are included.
Every tense of every verb
A full conjugation reference worked out on the device from real rules, with irregular forms colored and the stem drawn apart from the ending. The drill only asks for tenses your units have taught, and a hint shows the tables without costing you anything.
Free, and unlimited
No daily cap, no hearts to run out, no energy bar, no cooldown, no subscription. Drill for ten minutes or three hours, every day. Nothing stops you, and there is nothing to buy at any point.
A sequenced course
Sixteen units per language, each one a grammar step rather than a theme. Every unit carries its sentences, its vocabulary sets, a story and a quiz.
Sentences, broken down
Every word, then every chunk, then the whole sentence, then five variations of it. The variants change one piece at a time, so the pattern is what stays constant.
Three playback modes
Auto plays hands-free for commutes. Semi-manual loops one item until you have it. Manual gives you control of every rep.
Adjustable repetitions
Seven reps per item by default, anywhere from two to fifteen. Turn it up to grind, down if you are moving fast.
Native audio, both voices
Every word and sentence recorded by a male and a female speaker. Pick one and hear it throughout, at whichever speed lets you hear the word boundaries.
Say it out loud
Cards that listen while you speak, using your own device’s recognizer. Scored on whether you were understood — never on whether you sound native. No audio ever leaves your phone.
Spaced review
One session follows the repetition schedule; a second ignores it and goes at whatever keeps catching you out. Neither asks you to decide what to practice.
Quizzes that mix backwards
Each unit ends with a quiz graded on the server, carrying questions from earlier units — so passing means it stuck, not that you finished it this afternoon.
A story per unit
Dialogue revealed a line at a time and read aloud, with the comprehension question placed after the line that answers it.
Conversation, on your phone
Eight scenarios with a partner who stays in character, speaks only the language, and will not correct you mid-sentence. It runs on the device, so it is free, private and works offline.
Grammar on demand
Explanations arrive after you have already seen the pattern in a real sentence — never as a lecture up front — with live conjugation tables beside them.
Slang cards
Calibrated to your generation and labelled by region, so you learn the version people actually use where you are — not an average of everywhere.
Color-coded parts of speech
Nouns, verbs and adjectives tinted so sentence structure is visible at a glance. Switch it off when you no longer need it.
Your vocabulary, searchable
Every word you have actually learned, in one place, with the note and the slang you picked up alongside it.
Skills and levels
A score per format — recognizing, recalling, listening, spelling, being understood — and a shareable record at A1, A2 and B1.
Start where you are
A short placement test puts you in at the right unit if you already know some of the language. Decline it and start at unit one.
Stories read in character
One story per unit, revealed a line at a time and read aloud — a man’s lines by the male voice, a woman’s by the female — with the translation a tap away.
Save a unit for offline
Every word, sentence and clip in a unit, on the phone in advance, for a commute with no signal.
Pick up where you stopped
Leave in the middle of anything — a drill, a vocabulary set, a story — and you come back to the card you left, not the start.
One account, three apps
iOS, Android and the web share one set of progress, so a unit finished on the train is finished on your laptop.
