Learn Italian by talking

Verbsy is a speaking-first Italian tutor you talk to out loud. It listens, answers, corrects what you got wrong, and remembers it for next time.

Italian conversation moves quickly and forgives a great deal, as long as you keep talking. Verbsy gets you into that rhythm early and tidies up the tenses afterwards.

How learning Italian with Verbsy works

1
Tell the tutor what you want to be able to do in Italian — order dinner, get through an interview, talk to family. It turns that into a goal with concrete steps.
2
Talk. Put your phone in your pocket and speak through your headphones while you walk or cook. The tutor answers out loud and corrects you as you go.
3
The words you stumbled on become flashcards drawn from your own conversations, and five skills are scored from how you actually spoke.

Italian questions

Yes, in the middle of the conversation rather than afterwards. The tenses you keep confusing come back in later sessions until they stop being a problem.

Yes. Beginners get slower speech, simpler sentences and more support in a language you already know, and the tutor moves further into Italian as you keep up. You do have to be willing to speak from the first session — that is the whole method.

Verbsy is free to download and your first 30 minutes of conversation are free. That is a one-off allowance rather than a daily one. Verbsy Premium unlocks an hour of conversation a day at the price shown in the app.

No. Verbsy is built to be used with the screen off, through your headphones, while you commute, cook or walk. It is an iPhone app and needs iOS 16.1 or later.
