🇮🇹 CILS B1 Cittadinanza · Università per Stranieri di Siena

Italian for one clear goal:
la cittadinanza.

CILS B1 Cittadinanza is the B1-level Italian certificate accepted for citizenship applications — four abilità in a citizenship-specific format shorter than the full CILS B1. Myndaq drills exactly those four abilities, with an AI tutor that corrects your Italian as you go.

Ascolto

Listening — everyday Italian: offices, appointments, announcements. Train your ear on the situations the exam actually uses.

Comprensione della lettura

Reading — notices, forms, short articles: the practical Italian of daily life, read for meaning under exam conditions.

Produzione scritta

Writing — short practical texts at B1 level, with AI feedback that corrects your grammar and word choice, in the moment.

Produzione orale

Speaking — presenting yourself and handling everyday exchanges in Italian, practised until it stops feeling like an exam.

Pass the four abilità and hold the certificate the law asks for. This is the step Myndaq trains — every day, in the exam's own shapes.

Your citizenship application — by residency or by marriage — with the B1 certificate attached as your proof of Italian.

The goal behind the goal. One exam stands between you and the paperwork that follows — make it the well-prepared one.

Real-life Italian, exam-shaped

Notices, announcements, everyday conversations — ten-question sessions in the exam's four abilities, with instant scoring and an explanation on every item. The Italian you practise is the Italian the exam (and the questura) actually speaks.

A tutor that corrects your Italian

The Myndaq Tutor sees the exact question on your screen. Write to it in Italian and it corrects you gently — article by article, preposition by preposition — while guiding you to the answer instead of handing it over.

Corrects your Italian, guides your reasoning — never spoils the answer.

All four abilities, kept in balance

The exam tests four abilities — so Myndaq tracks all four, ranks your weakest, and quietly rebuilds each day's practice around it. Days-to-exam sits beside the chart, so the plan writes itself.

AI tutor on every question

Ask in Italian or English — it corrects your Italian and explains the why, never just the key.

The real task formats

All four abilità in the exam's own shapes — everyday, civic Italian throughout.

Weakness-first analytics

Your weakest ability surfaces first; practice rebuilds itself around it.

Study anywhere

Phone, tablet or laptop — progress syncs. A commute is one ascolto session.
