FlashBoss - Italian Core

FlashBoss - Italian Core: 1,000 words, the spoken foundation

Fibonacci spaced repetition and boss fights.

Italian Core is the first thousand words of everyday Italian — what people actually say, weighted toward what carries you furthest in understanding it. 1,000 words across five tiers in themed clusters, with grammar introduced tier by tier and example sentences that never use grammar you have not been taught. Finish Core and you have read more than 12,000 words of Italian in context.

And Italian arrives speaking your language: every card carries its translations, study notes and lessons in English, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Spanish. Study Italian through whichever you call home.

In this pack:

• 1,000 high-frequency Italian words across five tiers, in 46 themed clusters

• The article carried on every noun and colour-coded — il, lo and la, with the elision to l' handled on the card. Italian has five surface forms where most courses teach you three, and the card shows you which one a word takes before you have to guess

• Translations and study notes in English, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Spanish — full coverage on every card

• 20 reference lessons — readable in English, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Spanish

• Text-to-speech on every word and example sentence, in Paola, an Italian neural voice

• Boss-fight graduation: no cluster is cleared until its hardest words are mastered

Continue into Italian Pareto 1 — tiers 6 to 10 — for the second thousand. The full word list and all reference lessons for every FlashBoss pack are available on the website, along with a playable boss-fight demo. The manual link in the right sidebar opens the voice samples.
