amo Italian · the Italian practice app

How it works
Three steps, no admin on top.
1.Create your class and share the code
In teacher mode you create a class and get a code (like TI-M4RE). Give it to your students, done.
2.See your class at a glance
Who practiced this week, which assignments are open, who is falling behind. Green is on track, red has gone quiet.
3.Open one student, send a compliment
Completed exercises, current stage, recent mistakes with the exact explanation the student saw. One tap to send a compliment.
Alongside your lessons, not instead of them
On their own, apps mostly improve vocabulary, reading and listening; speaking is learned in class, with you. Independent research says exactly that (Loewen 2020; Kim 2026). amo Italian is built that way: the daily practice comes from the app, the conversation stays yours. Assignments are picked by topic and CEFR level, so they follow your course.

Who makes it
I am Alessio, an Italian teacher since 2018, with an ITALS master's degree (Ca' Foscari, Venice). I teach online and between Ede and Amsterdam, and I build amo Italian myself. If you write, I answer personally.
