Learn Italian
free
A card box for 1,000 Italian words, 100 set phrases and 30 classics — with pronunciation and a study timer.
Learn vocabularyNo sign-up. No ads. No tracking. If you like, you can support the project voluntarily.
What is it?
A card box with spaced repetition: what sticks comes back less often, what you miss comes back sooner. Plus a study timer with a chime, so good intentions turn into a real session, and pronunciation through your device's voice.
The vocabulary is 1,000 everyday words. Nouns come with their article, and the article is learned along with them — in Italian it cannot be worked out after the fact. Then 100 set phrases and 70 martial-arts terms for the body, commands and the dojo.
How it works
- Choose a section: vocabulary, set phrases, martial arts or music.
- Read the card, judge yourself, turn it over.
- Tap for pronunciation — it comes from your device's Italian voice.
- Set the study timer when good intentions should become a session.
A section of its own is given to 30 Italian classics from 1958 to 2021 — for each song the translated title, an original description of what it is about, and the key words. No lyrics are stored.
Who is it for?
For anyone learning Italian from scratch or on the side who does not want an app with an account, a score and a daily streak.
The martial-arts section is meant for karateka who train in Italy — where three countries meet, that is nothing unusual.

Privacy and technology
Runs entirely in your browser. Your progress stays on your device and is sent nowhere — no account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. The share menu puts the app on your home screen; after that it works without an internet connection as well.
Because nothing sits on a server, nothing can be fetched back from one: clear your browser data and your progress is gone. That is why More offers Create backup — a file you can keep and load again, on another device too.
Common questions
Do I need any prior knowledge?
No. The vocabulary starts with the most common words and numbers. If you are already further on, you will skip them in a few rounds — what you know leaves the stack quickly.
Why is the article given with the nouns?
Because in Italian it belongs to the word and cannot be derived from the ending. Anyone who thinks problema is feminine simply did not learn it along with the word.
Are lyrics included?
No. What is stored is the title, the artist, the year, a translation of the title, an original description of the content and the key words. Links lead to the text and to the recording.
What happens to my progress if I clear my browser?
It is gone — there is no server to fetch it back from. Safari clears a website's storage after seven days without a visit anyway. That is why every app here has Create backup: keep the file, load it again later, on another device if you like.

If you notice anything — a mistake, a suggestion, or a tool that is not here yet — write to me. I am glad about every message, though I cannot always reply straight away.
