Senso doesn't guess where you are. It measures, adapts, and gives you feedback that names exactly what went wrong — every time.
Your first session is a diagnostic: a set of calibration items spanning the major B1 grammar competencies. It's not a test — it's a map. The goal is to find out where you actually stand, not where you think you are.
After the diagnostic, Senso has an initial estimate of your mastery across competencies like verb tense, agreement, auxiliaries, clitics, and mood. This drives everything that follows.
Practice sessions are selected to target your weakest areas at the right level of difficulty — hard enough to push you, achievable enough to build confidence. Senso aims for roughly 70–80% success rate: the zone where learning happens.
Mastery is estimated from first attempts only. Retries help you consolidate, but they don't move the estimate — that only updates when you genuinely encounter something fresh. This keeps the measurement honest.
When you make a mistake, Senso doesn't just mark it wrong. The feedback engine knows the grammar system behind each item — whether it's a verb conjugation, article allomorphy, adjective agreement, or clitic selection — and names the specific error.
Instead of
"That's wrong."
You get
"You used the wrong auxiliary. Uscire takes essere, not avere — and the participle needs to agree with the subject."
Each piece of feedback is linked to the competency it tests, so you know exactly what to work on next.
Your mastery map shows your estimated level across every B1 competency node. You can see at a glance which areas are strong, which need work, and how you're progressing over time.
The map isn't just a progress bar — it's a precise diagnostic tool. It tells you which grammar systems you've internalised and which ones your practice should focus on next.
A sentence with a gap. You type the correct Italian form. The feedback engine grades your answer against the grammar system — not just string matching — so it understands why your answer is wrong as well as whether it is.
Il treno è già ___. (partire) partito
Pick the correct option from three or four choices. Used when the right answer depends on a clear structural contrast — such as choosing between piace and piacciono based on the grammatical subject.
Mi ___ molto i film italiani. piacciono
The diagnostic takes around ten minutes. Your mastery map updates with every session.
