Sound Familiar?

You can read Italian. You can follow YouTube videos.
You just can't speak it.

You've put in the hours. You can read a novel, stream Mare Fuori without subtitles, you've probably been following Francesco and other Italian teachers for years. But the moment someone asks you "Come stai?" — you freeze. You don't have a grammar problem. You have a speaking problem. And the only fix is reps.

😰

You freeze before the sentence even starts.

The fear of sounding wrong keeps you silent.

🗓️

You have no one to practice with.

Italians speak fast. Tutors are expensive. Scheduling is a hassle.

🔁

You always start and then stop.

Motivation on Monday, gone by Thursday. No structure, no accountability, no follow-through.

📚

You keep studying instead of speaking.

Grammar books and vocab lists are fine — but they'll never make you fluent.

That's Why We Built This

Introducing the 30-Day Italian Speaking Challenge:
The Good Old Days.

Together with Francesco from Vaporetto Italiano, we designed a challenge that solves the speaking problem directly. Every single day, for 30 days, you speak Italian out loud — telling your own stories.

This time, the topic is "The Good Old Days." Thirty prompts about childhood memories, the places you loved, the people who shaped you, the smells and sounds you've never forgotten. You already have the stories. You just need the words — and a patient listener.

Most language learners separate studying from speaking by weeks or months. They wait until they feel "ready." That moment never comes. We fixed it with what we call the Same-Day Speaking Method: every day you get a prompt and a short lesson, and that same day you talk about it with Francesco's AI clone in the Teacher AI app.

Because this is a live cohort, Francesco shows up for you during the 30 days. You're not doing this alone. You have an experienced teacher, a supportive group of learners from around the world, and a clear structure that keeps you moving all the way to day 30.

📖

Learn

One Italian lesson every day, straight to your inbox, with short videos and breakdowns from Francesco.

🗣️

Speak

Practice that same lesson by speaking with Francesco's AI clone in the Teacher AI app.

🔒

Lock it in

Speaking activates vocabulary in a way that studying never can. 30 days and it sticks.

🤝

Stay consistent

A live teacher, a private WhatsApp group, and a streak tracker make sure you finish what you started.

What You'll Talk About

30 prompts. 30 stories. Every day in May.

The theme is "The Good Old Days" — the memories, places and people that shaped you. Each day you get a single prompt, a short lesson to give you the vocabulary and structures you need, and 10–15 minutes to talk through it with your AI speaking partner.

A few of the 30 prompts you'll explore:

🏡 "What was the house you grew up in like? Can you describe it?"
🎬 "What's the first film you remember watching at the cinema?"
🎵 "What kind of music did you listen to as a teenager?"
🧑‍🏫 "Tell me about a teacher who had a big influence on you."
🍝 "Share a childhood memory related to food."
👃 "What's a smell that reminds you of your childhood?"
🇮🇹 "If you could visit any moment in Italy's past, what period would you choose?"
💌 "What advice would you give to your younger self?"

You don't have to prepare. You just have to show up and talk. And because these are stories you already carry — in your native language — you'll be surprised how much Italian actually comes out when the topic matters to you.

What's Included

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

FAQ

Common questions

The challenge is built for learners at roughly A2–B1 level or higher — you should be comfortable reading simple Italian and following basic conversation. If you're a complete beginner, we recommend waiting for our beginner track (launching July 2026).

No. Your $97 includes full access to the Teacher AI app for the 30 days — no recurring charges, no free trial to cancel, nothing to unsubscribe from. If you're already a Teacher AI subscriber, your plan is paused during the challenge and resumes automatically on day 31.

Francesco recorded hours of voice and lesson content. We used that to build an AI clone of him inside the Teacher AI app — you can speak to him like you would on a phone call. The clone knows exactly what lesson you're on and will practice that material with you, give feedback, and keep the conversation going.

The theme is "The Good Old Days" — 30 prompts about childhood memories, the places and people who shaped you, and your relationship with the past. Everything from "What was your dream job as a child?" to "What's a smell that reminds you of your childhood?" to "If you could visit any moment in Italy's past, what would you choose?" You already have the stories. The challenge gives you the Italian to tell them.

Every morning, an email lands in your inbox with the day's prompt and a link to the lesson on your personal course portal (Teachable). The portal contains the video and written materials. Then you open the Teacher AI app to practice it by speaking.

All four hangouts are recorded and available for 30 days. You can watch them back anytime.

About 20 minutes: roughly 5–8 minutes of video, then 10–15 minutes of speaking practice. You can do it on a lunch break, commute or walk.

A smartphone works best (Teacher AI has iOS and Android apps). You can also use the web version on a laptop. If you can use WhatsApp and a smartphone, you can do this — we'll help you get set up on day 1.

Yes. The Teacher AI app lets you share or save transcripts of every conversation so you can review your progress later.

Yes. If by day 15 you don't feel you're speaking more Italian, email us and we'll refund you — no questions asked.

You keep lifetime access to the 30 prompts, daily lessons, videos, and your conversation transcripts. The Teacher AI app subscription continues only if you explicitly choose to subscribe — we'll send alumni a special offer around day 28.
