News in Slow Italian

News in Slow Italian provides episodes of a weekly program for people learning Italian through news and language lessons. The program uses simplified Italian and a slower pace, with coverage of current events alongside grammar and expressions.

Follow news in simplified Italian

When practicing listening with current topics is the goal, episodes cover weekly news in Italian. The slower delivery and simplified language are intended to make the words and sentences easier for learners to follow. Users can listen to the episodes online, and the app provides access to episodes aired in the program.

Study grammar and expressions

The program also discusses Italian grammar and expressions, giving learners material beyond its news coverage. Flashcards are available for vocabulary practice, so they can be used to review words encountered in the learning material. The source also suggests noting unfamiliar words or phrases while listening for later review; it does not describe a note-taking tool in the app.

Continue studying offline

For study without an internet connection, users can download audio files and flashcards to their mobile device. Downloading these materials before going offline makes them available for listening and vocabulary practice without a connection. The app also supports online listening, giving learners both streaming and downloaded ways to access the program's material.
