Italian — A1 — Total Beginner
Basic greetings, numbers, simple questions · 2 sets available
Starting Italian from zero as an English speaker? This is where it begins. The 2 A1 sets cover basic greetings, numbers, simple questions — the phrases that come up in a first real conversation. Each one ships as a single MP3 file: download it, press play, and listen on your commute, walk, or before sleep. Repetition does the work. Once these phrases feel natural, the A2 sets pick up directly from here.
