How a lesson works
Each lesson opens with the new words, matched to their translation. Then one idea, two exercises, the next idea, two exercises, and a mix at the end. No block has more than 15 questions. Each unit ends with a 10-question test, and if you already know some Italian you can pass it and skip ahead.
Parlo means “I speak”.
