One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Italian out loud.

  1. Step 1

    Order

    See a Italian sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.

  2. Step 2

    Translate

    See the English and build the sentence in Italian, word by word.

  3. Step 3

    Listen

    Hear the sentence spoken in Italian, then type what you understood.

  4. Step 4

    Speak

    Say it out loud in Italian and see which words landed and which to try again.

Speaking Italian

Why speak Italian from day one

Double consonants change the word in Italian. Pala and palla are different, so hold the doubled sound a little longer. Listening and repeating is how you hear that difference, and a speaking step makes you produce it.

A sentence to start with

Vorrei un tavolo per due.

I would like a table for two.

Italian questions, answered

Can I learn Italian for free with 4ToSpeak?

Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).

How does 4ToSpeak teach Italian speaking?

Every Italian sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.

Do I need a microphone to practise Italian?

Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.

Do I need to know any Italian already?

No. Lessons start from short everyday Italian sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.

Is Italian hard to learn for English speakers?

Fairly friendly for English speakers. Pronunciation follows the spelling closely. Verb forms and prepositions are the long part, and they stick better when you meet them in full sentences.
