Practice Italian out loud.

From textbook Italian to bar Italian, at your own pace.

The fastest path to feeling Italian is to actually speak it — over food, over coffee, over nothing in particular. The slowest is to keep reading about how it works.

What you'll actually be saying

Here's how each scenario opens in Italian. Pick whichever fits your day, or describe your own topic.

Open chat

A friendly buddy. Talk about whatever you want.

“Ehi! Come va? Di cosa ti va di parlare oggi?”

At the café

Order coffee and pastries. The barista chats with you.

“Ciao! Cosa ti faccio?”

Chatty neighbor

Small talk with a chatty neighbor in the elevator.

“Oh, ciao! Come va la giornata?”

Job interview

Junior tech role. Formal register — practice the polite forms.

“Buon pomeriggio. Grazie per essere venuto. Come sta?”

Asking directions

You're a tourist asking a busy local for directions.

“Sì, dimmi?”

Dinner with friends

Casual chat about weekend plans, gossip, what shows you're watching.

“Oh senti, alla fine sabato che hai fatto?”

Why Italian is hard to speak fluently.

Italians talk through pauses, build sentences mid-thought, and switch between formal Lei and informal tu without warning. Textbook Italian and bar Italian are different languages.

Glauda gives you a low-pressure place to find your rhythm — practicing the 'allora, ecco, sai com'è' connectives until they come out automatically, without a real human's impatience hanging over the conversation.

From A1 to C2 — your level, no cramming up.

Glauda speaks at the level you pick. The bot uses simpler vocabulary and shorter sentences at A1, and full native cadence at C2.

Common questions about practicing Italian.

Does Glauda use Lei or tu by default?

Tu in casual scenarios (café, neighbor, dinner), Lei in the Job Interview scenario. Custom topics default to tu unless you set the formality field to formal.

Can I practice regional Italian (Roman, Neapolitan, etc.)?

Glauda speaks standard Italian. You can specify a regional persona in a custom topic ('a Roman shopkeeper in his 50s') and the bot will lean into local vocabulary — though heavy dialect is beyond what voice models do reliably.

I'm preparing for the CILS exam. Is this enough practice?

Glauda is built for casual fluency, not exam-specific drills. But practicing speaking at your CEFR level here will make your CILS oral exam feel less like a cliff edge.
