The only Italian tutor who lives in your phone.

Giulia is from Florence. Talk with her out loud and she corrects you while you speak, in real time.

Free during the TestFlight beta. No ads, and we only email about Parla.

Ten minutes a day. All of it out loud.

Open Parla and the next lesson is waiting with Giulia: a goal for today, a scene to play, and the slips from last time ready to review. No decks, no tapping through tiles.

  • Lessons built around real moments: the bar, the station, the table.
  • Corrections are kept, scored, and come back when you'd forget them.
  • A streak that counts minutes spoken, not screens swiped.

She corrects you in real time.

This is a real lesson. The learner said io preferisce; Giulia tidies it up out loud, drops the fixed phrase into the transcript, and keeps the conversation going.

Every slip becomes a card. Every word gets a score.

Tap what you said to see the fix, the rule in one line, and which word gave you away. Listen, hear it slow, try again with Giulia.

Parla correction sheet: You said 'Io preferisce il caffè lungo', correct 'Io preferisco', the rule, and per-word pronunciation scores with caffè flagged

Role-play the bar, the station, the table.

Giulia plays the barista at a busy café in Florence. You greet her, order, ask the price and pay, with goals that tick off as you talk.

Five minutes later, you can see it.

Accuracy, pronunciation, the corrections to keep and the phrases you learned, saved to your phrasebook and back as drills before you forget them.

Parla lesson summary: Nice work, Michael! 75% accuracy, 79% pronunciation, the correction preferisce to preferisco, and five phrases learned

Listen mode, coming soon.

Two tutors chat about a topic you choose, at your level. Slow it down, tap a word for the meaning, then take a turn yourself.

How it works

Three steps, and the first one takes about ten seconds.

  1. 1

    Pick a moment

    Morning coffee at the bar, checking in at a hotel, the walk to the station. Or just talk about your day.

    Un caffè, per favore.

  2. 2

    Talk out loud

    Giulia answers in real time, in Italian, at your level. Stuck? She slows down or switches to English.

    Come si dice… ?

  3. 3

    Keep the corrections

    Every fix lands on a card you can replay. They come back later as quick drills, spaced out so they stick.

    Una pizza, not un pizza.

Who Giulia is for

Un tavolo per due, per favore.

Travelers

You land in Rome in six weeks. Rehearse the exact conversations you will have, from ordering to asking the way back, until they come out without thinking.

Nonna, raccontami ancora.

Heritage learners

You grew up hearing it at the table and never learned to speak it back. Giulia goes at your pace, and she will never flinch at a Sunday-dinner accent.

Mi sto preparando per il B1.

Citizenship, B1

Italian citizenship now asks for B1-level Italian. A speaking track built around the exam tasks is in the works, and waitlist members will get it first.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes, for everyone on the TestFlight beta. When paid plans arrive we will email you well before anything changes, and nothing is charged without you choosing a plan.

What level do I need to start?

None. Giulia starts in simple Italian with English explanations and adjusts as you go. If you already have some Italian, tell her and she skips ahead.

How does the correcting work?

Your voice streams to our server, which transcribes it and sends it to an AI model with Giulia's instructions. Mistakes come back as a spoken correction plus a card with the rule in one line.

What happens to my voice recordings?

Audio is sent to our server and to OpenAI to transcribe and generate Giulia's reply. We do not sell it or use it for ads. Details are in the privacy policy.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Parla is iOS first. Join the waitlist anyway and reply to the welcome email to tell us you are on Android, it helps us decide what comes next.

Does it work offline?

No. Conversation needs a connection, since the listening and the replies run on our servers. Saved correction cards are stored on your phone.

Free while we're in beta.

Parla is on TestFlight now. Everyone on the waitlist gets in, in order, and pays nothing during the beta. After launch we plan $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year, and we'll email you before anything changes.

A presto, Giulia.
