What learners say

Reviews from learners across Languages on Fire courses.

★★★★★

“I'm really excited to use this new Italian deck. A year ago I bought Languages on Fire's German full deck and completed it over 3 months. That gave me a great start and a solid base. I've continued learning German by reading and doing 1-on-1 classes on italki. The things I learned in LoF's German deck are still the strongest in my mind — I produce them automatically when I'm having a live conversation. I think what sets LoF's Anki decks apart is that they've developed a whole storyline. There's a ton of context. There are some other good decks on Anki but I haven't found any that give you so much context. Learning individual words or even individual unconnected sentences just isn't as powerful as following a story.”

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this a full course or just flashcards?

It's a complete, dialogue-driven course. You follow a storyline through real conversations, on a structured path from A1 to B1, delivered as an Anki deck so you get the power of spaced repetition.

Why shouldn't I use another free Anki deck?

You can, and a few of them are decent. The differences that matter are structure and context. Most free decks are word lists or unconnected sentences, ordered by whatever the author had to hand rather than by how common a word actually is. This course follows a storyline, so every sentence arrives in a context you can hang it on, and the vocabulary is ordered by frequency, so the words that carry most of everyday Italian come first. Every card also carries studio-quality audio. If you want a second opinion before you decide, the reviews on AnkiWeb are from people using the deck daily.

Shouldn't I simply create my own deck?

You could, and if you enjoy building decks it's a good exercise. It's worth knowing what it costs first. You would be choosing several thousand sentences, deciding what order to teach them in, writing the translations and notes, and producing audio for every line. That is months of work before you learn anything, and the ordering is the part that's hardest to get right on your own. We built this so that time goes into studying Italian instead.

I've never used Anki before. Is this for me?

Absolutely. Anki is a free, straightforward flashcard app (a small one-time fee on iPhone), and we show you exactly how to set it up and import your course in minutes.

How long does it take to finish?

That's up to you. On its default setting Anki introduces 20 new cards a day, and at that pace you'll have worked through all 4,000+ cards in about six and a half months, at roughly 20 to 30 minutes a day. You can move that dial either way: 10 new cards a day is gentler and takes about twice as long, while 40 halves the time but leaves you a heavier daily review load. Nothing expires, so there's no wrong pace.

What will I be able to do at the end?

You'll know the most frequent words in Italian, the ones that carry most of everyday conversation, and you'll be comfortable with the grammar up to B1. In practice that means holding a real conversation with a native speaker, and watching your first shows in Italian.

It isn't exam preparation, though. The course builds the language itself rather than exam technique, so if you need to pass a formal B1 exam you'll most likely want some targeted practice on top.

What's included, and what's the coaching offer?

You get everything in one package: the complete course, the Study Playbook, and a 1-hour 1:1 strategy session with a certified coach (PCC, ICF) to build your personal roadmap. You can book the session any time within 3 months of your purchase.

How does the strategy session work?

After you order, you'll get a link to book your 1-hour session at a time that suits you, any time within 3 months of your purchase. You'll meet your certified coach (PCC, ICF) online.

I used the free AnkiWeb version. Will my progress carry over?

Yes. When you download the full course, it simply updates your existing deck and adds the remaining lessons. All of your learning progress is kept.

Is it suitable for beginners and advanced learners?

Both. You start with the basics and difficulty builds gradually; more advanced learners can skip ahead thanks to the modular lesson structure.

Can I edit the cards?

Yes, the cards are fully customizable. Add, change, or remove anything to tailor the course to your goals.

Is it a one-time payment? What about refunds?

One payment, lifetime access, and all future updates included. You're also covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
