About MyOwnLingo · Italian

Games for learning Italian, from CEFR level A1 to C1. No ads, no energy limits, no app to install: it adjusts the level every round and goes deeper on grammar and vocabulary than a streak app does.

The games

Missing Word. One small word is missing from a sentence in Italian: an article, a preposition, an auxiliary. Pick the right one. Two tries.

Article & Gender. A noun in Italian: tap its article. Gender, the article before a vowel or s + consonant, singular and plural.

Conjugation. A verb, a person and a tense: pick the right form. Two tries.

Type the Form. A verb, a person and a tense: type the form, with or without its pronoun. Right but for the accents still counts. Two tries.

Sentence Reorder. Tap the shuffled words of a sentence in Italian back into order. Three tries.

Pick the Meaning. A word in Italian and four meanings. Pick the right one. Two tries.

Type the Word. A meaning in English: type the word in Italian. Right but for the accents still counts, and you see how it's spelt. Two tries.

Word Snap. A word in Italian and a meaning: right or wrong? Against the clock; ten mistakes and it's over.

Word Pairs. Thirty tiles: fifteen Italian words and their meanings. Find the pairs. Three mistakes close the board.

Word Grid. Sixteen tiles of letters. A meaning comes up: spell its Italian word from the board and its tiles turn over. Clear the board. Three wrong words close it.

Word Ladder. Change one letter and it's a new word. Pick what it means, eight rungs up.

Levels

Score over 65% in an eight-question round and the next round is a level harder; under 35% and it is a level easier. Word Snap and Word Pairs are scored on the questions you reached. When your level runs short of material, the games borrow from the levels next to it.

Mastery

Every game remembers what you know. Get an item right three times in a row and that game stops asking it, then brings it back once after a month, three months and a year to check. One miss and it is back in rotation.

Today's challenge

Three games a day, the same three for everyone. Finish a round of each and the day is done; keep it up and your streak grows.

Practice

Flashcards, separate from the games and the scoreboards. What you miss comes back soon; what you know drifts further out.
