Celebrations and traditionsWhy train speaking when the A2 test is written
The Italian A2 state language test has no oral part: it is three written papers, listening included. So you are not simulating an exam here — and no evaluation on this page will tell you that you "passed" or "failed" anything.
It is useful for two very concrete reasons. First: there is a second language check in Italy that is oral, the integration-agreement interview — a two-to-five-minute conversation with an examiner marked on communicative effectiveness rather than grammatical accuracy. Second: talking for a minute straight about a topic is the fastest way to turn vocabulary you merely recognise into vocabulary you can use, and that shows up immediately in the written papers too.
The topics are the ones that keep coming back: where you live, family, work, food, holidays, health, celebrations. They are the same lexical fields as the test texts.
How it works
Each topic comes with a prompt listing the points to cover, a "Rules" panel with a simple structure (opening, development, closing) and useful phrases, and a "Help" panel with the key words translated into your language.
Type your answer in the box. The AI returns a score out of 27 across four criteria, the prompt points you left out, vocabulary suggestions and an example of a good answer. Free, in your browser.
Frequently asked questions — monologues
Does the Italian A2 test have an oral part?
No. The test for the EU long-term residence permit consists of listening, reading and written interaction. There is no speaking paper.
So when do I actually need to speak?
At the integration-agreement check, which is a two-to-five-minute oral conversation with an examiner — and of course in daily life: at work, at the doctor, at the counter.
How long should I speak?
A minute or two, covering every point in the prompt. A few well-connected sentences beat a list of words.
Can I record my voice instead of typing?
No — the answer is written, and the site neither records nor transcribes speech. The most useful way to use the exercise is to say your answer out loud against a clock and then type it up for the grading.
How is the monologue graded?
With a score out of 27 across four criteria — content, grammar, vocabulary and fluency — plus a comment and an example of a good answer. It is not an exam mark: the A2 test has no oral paper.
