Learn Italian with Loquus
Maybe Italian is for a visit, your family, or the pleasure of following a conversation. Loquus gives you lessons and reference tools to build your practice around that reason. Listen closely, work with useful words, and return to grammar when you want an explanation.
Start with a greeting. Keep going from there.
In Italian, a doubled consonant can be an important part of a word's sound and meaning. Listen carefully when you encounter one in a Dictionary entry or lesson. Repeat the whole word, then compare it with the audio again at a comfortable playback speed.
Italian noun and adjective endings often work together, while verb endings carry information about the speaker and the action. Use Grammar Center to explore a pattern you have met. Compare its examples with available word forms in the Dictionary instead of memorizing an ending without context.
A complete expression is often what you need when greeting someone, asking a question, or making a polite request. Explore the Phrasebook for a situation that matters to you. Listen to the wording and practice saying it before returning to the individual words in your lessons.

Real screens from the first day of the Italian course in the iPhone app.
Open the app and today’s session is waiting. The Italian course begins with Sounds & First Contact, and the first lesson is Greetings & Introductions.
Your first word is ciao, meaning hello; bye (informal). Each new word comes with its meaning and audio at normal or very slow speed.
Right after a new word, you repeat it after the voice. This is called shadowing, and it builds speaking habits from your very first lesson.
Typing steps bring their own keyboard, so you can write Italian before you add a keyboard to your phone.
Grammar Center explains how Italian works, with topics like Italian at a Glance and Addressing People: tu, Lei and voi.
