Lingopie's library covers 3,000+ hours of Italian dramas, romantic comedies, reality TV, and cult classics. Each title comes tagged by difficulty, from absolute beginner to advanced. That means you can start with something simple and slowly work your way up to shows made for native speakers.
Every episode runs with dual subtitles. If a word or phrase catches your attention, just tap it to get an instant translation, a definition, and example sentences. You get the meaning in a second and jump right back into the story.
Every word you tap is saved to your vocabulary list, and Lingopie turns it into flashcards with spaced repetition. Saved words pop up again in new scenes, so each episode doubles as Italian listening practice built around how people actually talk.
Thousands of hours of Italian TV shows and movies for every level. Beginners start with slower, clearer dialogue, then move on to fast-paced dramas and unscripted content.
When you learn Italian by watching TV instead of simply repeating words, your comprehension grows dramatically. The Lingopie method lets your brain absorb Italian naturally. No other language learning system helps you learn this efficiently.
Lingopie is a full ecosystem built around one idea: language learning works best when it's built into content you'd want to watch anyway. Tap and save words as you go, then practice them your way.
Most learners start here, and for good reason. When you learn Italian with TV shows and movies, you get natural pacing, real accents, and cultural context that no app-only course can replicate. Combined with dual subtitles and instant word translation, every viewing session doubles as a lesson.
For learners who want to train their ear without visuals, audio stories offer a different kind of challenge. They push you to follow along by sound alone, which sharpens comprehension for real conversations.
Podcasts bring in more casual, unscripted Italian, closer to how people actually talk in daily life. They're a natural next step once you're comfortable with slower, scripted dialogue from shows.
Join live Italian lessons in small groups with an experienced teacher and just a few other learners. Each session is built around real situations, so you get plenty of time to talk face to face, not just listen.
Like the best Italian language learning apps, Lingopie turns the words you saved into quick flashcards, quizzes, and games. Spaced repetition brings each word back right before you'd forget it, so new vocabulary actually sticks.
Not sure what a line meant or how to use a phrase? Ask the AI-powered chat. It gives clear grammar explanations and more examples, and helps you practice short conversations in Italian anytime.
Install the Lingopie browser extension and watch Italian titles on Netflix with dual subtitles and tap-to-translate. Every word you save there goes straight into your Lingopie vocabulary.
Good app based on a great idea. Watching movies and TV (and reading) have always been great ways to be exposed to a language. This app takes this to another level, providing language exposure and consistent, systematic study based on that exposure.
Love how they have games, shows, and stories. Very helpful tools while remaining entertaining.
I really like how this puts learning into a real context. Instead of just learning words you’ll never use you can choose what type of video/book you want. It also is so much fun!
A fabulous app for learning languages AND an awesome customer care culture!
It’s a very fun and interactive way to learn a language. It’s quite a bit advanced for me, however, I learn so much and it’s very much helping me.

“There is really nothing to compare with film and TV as resources for language learning, especially if we can make its richness and variety of language accessible through captions.”
In one study of 227 learners, captions with word translations supported more than double the word-meaning recall of standard captions.
After a 68-minute TV episode, learners using captions improved their listening scores by 16.9 points, vs 7.1 without captions.
A study of 250 learners found 87.4% comprehension with captions, compared with 73.7% without them.
A major review found that learners picked up more vocabulary from captioned video than from video without captions.
These are independent studies on learning with captioned video, not Lingopie trials.

Repeat the dialogue you’ve just heard out loud. If it was too fast, you can use our tool which reads it back to you slowly. Don’t be passive in your learning; make sure you comprehend the content. This is a must when wanting to learn Italian as effectively as possible.
Make notes and write down any Italian vocabulary that you find important or useful. Writing down words and phrases will significantly increase your ability to remember them. Lingopie saves the words you click on, but hand-writing them will make you remember it even better!
Retell the plot of the show or the movie out loud, to yourself or to someone who understands the Italian language. Even speaking in front of the mirror will help you! Speaking out loud is an important exercise to establish the contents you’ve downloaded into your brain.
Once you feel more confident, learn Italian with subtitles in Italian only. Turn off the English ones and keep just the Italian. If you get stuck, just tap any word to see its translation.
Don’t stop practising. Learning a language is like playing an instrument; you can never be too good at it and you can never be ‘finished’. So don’t stop revising, learning, and building your listening skills!

TV exposes you to real Italian used by native speakers, including natural pacing, real accents, and cultural context all at once, which is hard to get from a textbook. It also keeps you engaged longer, since you're motivated by the story, not just the lesson. That's why it feels so natural to watch and learn Italian at the same time.
For many learners, Lingopie is the best app to learn Italian as a core part of their routine, and most see real gains in listening and vocabulary within a few weeks. Many learners pair it with Italian classes or conversation practice for a more complete approach to speaking and grammar, since watching alone won't give you as much speaking practice as an actual conversation would.
Yes. It's one of the easiest ways to learn Italian online from zero. The catalog includes shows tagged specifically for beginners, with slower dialogue and simpler vocabulary. Dual subtitles and tap-to-translate also make it easy to follow along even with zero prior knowledge.
Look for shows tagged "beginner" in the Lingopie library, since these tend to have clearer pronunciation and simpler sentence structures. Comedies and slice-of-life dramas are often a gentler starting point than fast-paced crime series.
It depends on your starting level and how often you watch, but most learners notice real improvement in listening comprehension within 4 to 8 weeks of regular viewing. Consistency matters more than binge-watching everything in one weekend: aim for 20 to 30 minutes of watching most days to keep your practice steady.
Yes, in context, without dry grammar lessons. You'll hear verb tenses, noun genders, and articles used naturally hundreds of times, and word tags show each part of speech.
