Starting from zero and feeling intimidated by the Italian B1 citizenship exam? In this first episode, we talk about what the exam is really like, what level of Italian you actually need, and why perfect Italian is NOT necessary to pass. We’ll also discuss the real purpose of the exam: building enough confidence to handle everyday situations in Italy, from conversations and phone calls to bureaucracy and daily life. Whether you’re applying for citizenship through marriage, residency, or family heritage, this episode is here to make the process feel less overwhelming, and much more possible.
