Tips for parents
- Use the greeting for real: say the Italian good-morning word at breakfast and the good-night word at bedtime, so the song turns into a daily ritual.
- Model the polite words at the table. When your child says please or thank you in Italian, answer in Italian too; that small win matters more than a perfect accent.
- Wave, bow or high-five on each greeting in the song. A gesture tied to a word makes it easier to recall without the music.
Questions parents ask
- Why start with greeting songs?
- Greetings are short, repeated every day and instantly useful, so children get to use them straight away with family. That early success makes the next topics feel easy.

- 19 key words and phrases, including buongiorno (good morning), come stai? (how are you?), molto bene (very well), grazie (thank you), ciao (hello), bene (good), giochiamo! (let's play!), per favore (please). The full list is above, and every song page shows the complete lyrics with translation.
- Are the Italian greeting songs free?
- Yes. This is the free unit: all 6 songs can be played on their song pages and in the app, free forever, no card needed.
- How long are the songs?
- Between 1:40 and 2:02 each, about 12 minutes for all 6. Short enough to replay, which is where most of the learning happens.
