Did you know Italy's driving theory exam hasn't been offered in English since 2011? And the US has no license reciprocity with Italy — Americans who move there take the same 30-question exam as every Italian 18-year-old, in Italian, where nearly 40% of candidates fail.

We just launched a free practice version: 30 true/false questions drawn from a 90-question bank, a 20-minute timer, max 3 errors — every question in English and in authentic exam Italian, with the rules explained after every attempt. Pass and you earn your (very unofficial) Patente di Pratica. 🇮🇹🚗

POV: you walk into a Roman bar and order a venti pumpkin spice latte.

We turned our real Italian 101 lessons into Bella Figura, a free 8-bit role-playing game. Order coffee like a local, survive dinner in Trastevere, ask for directions, and master pizza al taglio. Wrong answers cost you. Really wrong answers get you the BR**TA FIGURA screen and a chance to try again.

Four episodes, 35 phrases to collect, works on any phone. No app, no signup, no ads.
