FAQ

Who are the lessons for?

Adults living in Italy or moving there, from complete beginner to advanced. Lessons are for real-life Italian, and Studio includes a citizenship path that prepares you for the B1 exam.

What happens in the first lesson?

A real lesson: we talk, we find your level, we set the goal, and you leave with a plan.

What if the first lesson isn't right for me?

Tell us within 48 hours of your first lesson, from the lesson's page or by writing to us. We'll refund you in full or, when another tutor is available, match you with another tutor for a free first lesson. Once per student.

Do I need a textbook?

No. Materials are built around you and shared after each lesson.

What if I miss a lesson?

Cancel 12+ hours ahead and the credit returns to your balance. Less than that, the credit is used.

Can I change my pack?

Yes, from your dashboard. Changes apply at the next renewal.

Where do lessons happen?

In your browser, on our platform. No Zoom, no downloads.

What is Studio?

Our self-study course: short units built on real situations in Italy, about 25 minutes each, with natural Italian audio, flashcards, one grammar point and instant practice. €14 a month, and Unit 1 is free.

Is Studio included with lessons?

Yes. Every monthly lesson pack includes Studio at no extra cost: use it between lessons.

Your first lesson is a real lesson.
