Reading
Literature from day one, without drowning.
Not simplified to the bone: rewritten, level by level.
Behind amo Italian there is a real teacher: Alessio, teaching Italian since 2018. And one honest rule: the app gives you the daily practice, but you learn to speak with a person. Use it on its own, or alongside lessons: with Alessio or with your own teacher.
The library: novels and themed booklets
Verga's Eva, Capuana's Giacinta, Gian Burrasca, Pinocchio, Cuore: the Italian classics, each in the version built for your level. Alongside them, themed booklets on the house, on paperwork and daily life, on la dolce vita, fashion and travel.
The catalogue keeps growing, and everything is read inside the app. On this site you can also browse the graded readers chapter by chapter.
Tap the word, keep reading
Every hard word is one tap away: a plain definition, the teacher's note on context and culture, synonyms, derived words and pronunciation.
No switching to a translation app, no stepping out of the novel: you keep reading and understand as you go.
The complete CEFR path
From zero to C2 along the official European levels. Every level has stages for grammar, vocabulary, culture and comprehension, with checkpoints and level exams.
You always know where you are and what's needed for the next step.
17 support languages
Not only English, like almost every other app. amo Italian is also thought for those who live and work in Italy and never find their language in other apps: Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Korean, French, Japanese, English, Dutch, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Tagalog, German, Tigrinya, Turkish, Ukrainian.
