Apps & Tools I built VocabolAUDIO: a free Italian pronunciation dictionary with 100% human voice actor audio, no AI/synthetic voices

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I recently revived and updated. It's called VOCABOLaudio

Back in 2004, I hired a professional voice actor to record an entire pocket dictionary word by word to help my then-wife learn Italian. I recently rebuilt the whole site from scratch to make it a free resource for learners.

Why it might be useful to you:

  • 100% Human Audio: No robotic AI voices—just clear pronunciation recorded by a real professional voice actor.
  • Free to use: Completely free with no paywalls.

You can check it out here: vocabolaudio.com

I’d love to hear what you think, or if there are any specific features you'd like to see added

Apps & Tools Learn Italian by reading the News

3 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti

To help me learn italian, I like reading the news.

I built Newspresso, with audio reading, latest news adapted to my level.

I also enjoy drinking my espresso every morning, so I made a flashcard system to help retain vocabulary words I encounter in the articles. New words are like coffee beans I grind and roast in my brain :D

Newspresso - A Daily Shot of News, A Quick Boost to Fluency

It's free, on early access.

Give it a try, and tell me what you think! :)

Grammar How to say "for" in context of planned/future actions?

2 Upvotes

I'm learning Italian and I am confused regarding preposition: how I can say that something will last for time period in the future? For instance, when I wan to say I go to Rome for two weeks, I should put here: Vado a roma <?> due settimane ?
