Italian A1 introduces you to the beauty of one of Europe's most musical languages. At this CEFR level, you will learn essential vocabulary for greetings, introductions, and basic daily interactions. Italian pronunciation is largely phonetic, making it one of the most approachable languages for beginners.

Study tips

Italian nouns have gender (masculine/feminine) — learn each word with its article (il/la, un/una). The good news: Italian spelling closely matches pronunciation. Listen to the audio and repeat; your mouth will quickly adapt to the vowel-heavy rhythm.

Grammar focus

Noun gender and articles (il/lo/la), present tense of regular verbs (-are, -ere, -ire), essere and avere, basic adjective agreement, numbers and days.
