Learn Italian — for the trip, the family, or the move.
A personal Italian course built around your reason — a holiday in Puglia, family roots in Sicily, a move to Milan, or just the sound of the language. Strive picks the vocabulary and grammar that matter for you, and the daily recall queue (1 / 3 / 7 / 14 / 30 days) keeps the conjugations from sliding away.
Hold a basic café, trattoria, shop, or hotel conversation without freezing.
Use the present, passato prossimo, and imperfetto in real situations.
Recognise essere vs avere as auxiliaries and which verbs take which.
Handle gendered nouns, articles, and the everyday prepositions (di, a, da, in, su).
Build vocabulary that matches your goal — travel, family, work, or culture.
Read a simple native text (menu, sign, short article) by picking out the structure.
Retain it — recall queue brings phrases and forms back over weeks.

Frequently asked
Will it cover regional variants?
Standard Italian by default. The wizard lets you flag a region (Tuscany, Sicily, Naples, Milan) and the course will note pronunciation and vocabulary differences where they actually matter.
Is this a speaking course?
It is text-first today. You read, write, and recall — the recall queue surfaces whole phrases, not just words. Live speaking practice is on the roadmap, not shipped.
