Italian is often called the easiest language for beginners to pronounce — almost every word ends in a vowel, the spelling is regular, and the rhythm carries you. The decks above give you the first words you need in an Italian café, street or conversation: greetings, numbers, food (naturally), and the most useful verbs. Italian is also the closest major language to Latin, so it quietly teaches you the roots behind thousands of English words. Study ten cards a day with spaced repetition and read each word aloud with full, open vowels — half the joy of Italian is how it sounds.

Read a deck below to preview every word, then sign up free to study it with spaced repetition — the method that schedules each card back right before you would forget it. Ten words a day is the sweet spot: enough to progress fast, small enough to sustain. For the method behind it, see our guide to learning a language with flashcards.
