Why Corriere is the wrong first text
Italian newspapers love long sentences, congiuntivo, and assumed cultural knowledge. Easy Italian news in Newslang cuts that down to A1: common verbs, short clauses, topics you can picture (food, family, cities, habits).
News in Slow Italian is a different brand. Here the point is one article at four CEFR levels, with tap-to-translate and audio, inside an app you already use for Spanish or German if you want.
