DM me for more info
EDIT:
I have received a lot of response and interest, so I have to put the search on hold for now.
I will not be able to respond to further interest for the time being, but the search might be reopened in the future!
Hi everyone!
I have developed an app that focuses entirely on practicing conversations. Now, I need people to try it and let me know what they think!
Entirely for free of course :)
(There is also a beginner profram with 22 mini-lessions)
Comment below or send me a dm id you would like to join!
I have tried to prounounce this word (C’è) at least 6 months now, and maybe a thousand times during my lessons. I have tried at least 20 different pronunciations, but NOT ONCE has Duolingo acknowledged that I have ever once said it correctly. Somebody PLEASE help me! (I had the same problem when I studied German for over 2 years, and apparently can’t correctly pronounce “OK”. Really dumb.
I’ve been looking at different ways to learn Italian, and one thing I’ve noticed is that Duolingo is great at keeping you practicing consistently, but it didn’t really solve the problem of understanding why Italian works the way it does.
If you’re someone who keeps thinking:
“I know these words, but I still don’t understand why this sentence is constructed like that.”
you might want to give Italicore a try.
It takes a more grammar-first approach. Instead of mainly learning through repetition, it tries to explain the patterns behind Italian sentence structure, so you can eventually build new sentences yourself rather than memorizing individual ones.
I particularly like the fact that it was created by a native Italian teacher rather than being built entirely around an AI chatbot. There’s also an AI tutor called Lira, but it’s more of a tool alongside the actual curriculum.
I wouldn’t say it replaces Duolingo for everyone. If you mainly want something gamified that gets you practicing every day, Duolingo is still pretty good at that.
But if your frustration is “I’m learning Italian words, but the grammar still feels like a mystery”, Italicore is worth checking out.
It’s free to start, so you can see if the approach clicks with you.
Im wondering if this would have still been wrong had the voice to text not misspelled capa to cappa. Is la capa not correct for a female boss? Are all bosses il capo?
Nevermind. I got to it again and put “La capa” and it was accepted. It was just the typo was rejected.
I said qualche volta because that’s how I learned it from Pimsleur. Why is it wrong? Also- I feel like there was an update and I’m getting TONS of new words without them being flagged as new and with no introduction to the word.
