MEET FRANCESCA / YOUR VIRTUAL GUIDE
Ciao, I’m Francesca.
Let’s start together.
A few useful words. A moment to listen. Then it’s your turn. I’ll help you find your way through these first Italian practices, one small step at a time.
Francesca is a virtual character created for Italian From Zero.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A little clarity
makes room for confidence.
Do I need to know any Italian?
The first practice starts from zero, with English explanations and Italian examples.
Do I have to speak perfectly?
No. Start by listening and trying the phrase. The aim of this first practice is to help you begin, not to test your accent.
