Learn Italian Fast: SpeakTwice

I didn’t want a language app with a bunch of games and competitions with other learners. I am just interested in learning. This app makes learning fun without wasting time on cartoon mascots. Try it! Stefano will answer you directly and really cares about his students!

A well thought out app that teaches listening, speaking, and grammar. It’s actually addictive. Highly recommended!

I learned about this app after having already "graduated" from Duolingo and Babbel for Italian. I still did not know Italian, and was embarrassed to say I was studying, because when a native speaker would say anything, I had no clue what they were saying. I found this app, and was hoping it would bridge the gap between A - B "fluency" to more level C beginner - intermediate conversational. Within a few lessons, I already had more to say when meeting a native speaker, and could more easily understand what they were saying to me. And, my pronunciation of Italian noticeably improved, rapidly. I did not start at the beginning on this app, although I wish I did. There are many different paths to learning on this app, which I really like. If you want to focus on grammar, you can. If you want to learn new words and phrases or hear short stories, you can. If you want to engage with the AI tutor, you can. There are many more features and tools on the app. I like that you can learn at your own pace and change things up to keep it interesting. I have been impressed by how I am actually learning Italian through the repetition of listening and repeating out loud. It seemed silly at first to be walking around speaking gibberish, as I was repeating sentences in Italian. But, in a week or two, I actually heard my voice change and it sounded more authentically Italian. And, as I heard phrases being spoken by native speakers, I actually understood what they were saying without memorizing anything. I definitely recommend this app to learn Italian! Lou
