English Gratis is a free English-learning community and resource library aimed at Italian-speaking users. Based on the site content, it is not a traditional paid platform for recorded or live courses, but rather a large self-study website that brings together grammar, exercises, bilingual reading, audio, audiobooks, subtitled videos, dictionaries, and pronunciation tools. Its goal is to help users learn or improve their English “without spending money.”
Its core resources are quite extensive: 67 detailed English grammar guides, 576 exercises and 50 quizzes, multiple sets of translation and graded exercises, over 400 classic audiobooks, hundreds of subtitled instructional videos, and a large amount of English-Italian parallel text. The site places particular emphasis on its ReadSpeaker read-aloud function, which lets users listen to British, American, Australian, Scottish, Indian, and other accents, and can be used for webpages, example sentences, and audiobooks. Grammar topics cover everything from basic to upper-intermediate and advanced areas, including articles, pronouns, prepositions, tenses, modal verbs, the passive voice, reported speech, and phrasal verbs.
The site repeatedly emphasizes free resources and “no need to spend money.” There is no mention of subscriptions, individual course purchases, or paid membership. There is also no information about official certificates, exam accreditation, or completion certificates, so it is better suited as a supplementary learning resource rather than a way to obtain a credential that can be showcased.
Its strengths are the sheer volume of resources and the wide range of content, making it especially suitable for understanding English grammar through explanations in Italian. The audio, subtitled videos, and bilingual texts are also very useful for combining listening and reading practice. Some grammar content is marked as being created by university English teachers, which gives it a certain level of professional credibility. The downside is that it feels more like a resource database than a structured course: information on learning paths, progress tracking, homework feedback, and teacher-student interaction is limited. The pages are also packed with content, so beginners may need to spend time filtering what they need. Another clear barrier is that the main language of explanation is Italian; for Chinese learners who do not understand Italian, its value will be greatly reduced.
It is suitable for English self-learners with an Italian-language background, students, adult learners, English teachers, and parents introducing children to English. For users in China, if they know Italian, it can be used as a free supplementary English resource library. If they only know Chinese or English, platforms such as BBC Learning English and British Council would be more direct choices. The review text does not provide information on access from mainland China, so actual testing would be needed.
