Learning

Lessons, checks and levels

How a lesson works

Every lesson has three parts:

1. Learn: new words with audio and pictures, short dialogues, and a pattern explained simply.
2. Practise: exercises of different kinds: pick the meaning, type what you hear, put words in order, match pairs, pick the right picture, speak a phrase.
3. Check: a short assessment on what the lesson taught.

Not sure where to start?

On Lessons, take the placement check: about 18 questions from every level. We suggest the level to start at and you can switch to it in one tap. Earlier lessons stay open for review.

Why you can't just click through

You open the next lesson by passing the check with 80% or more. At the end of a module and a level there's a bigger exam. This is on purpose: you build on what you really know.

Stuck on an answer?

• Ask the tutor explains the exercise in your own language. It won't give away answers during a check or an exam.
• I think my answer is right asks the tutor to review a typed answer that was marked wrong (once per answer). In practice, an accepted answer is corrected; in a check, you earn the XP and we review the exercise.

Spotted a mistake?

Tap Report a problem with this step under any exercise (wrong answer key, typo, audio, unclear). We check every report and fix the lesson.

Lesson styles

Some lessons come in more than one style (standard, fun, serious). Pick your favourite in Settings → Personalise, or switch on the lesson's start screen. With your own AI key you can make new versions: see "Make your own lesson versions".

Review

Words you've learned come back in Words → Review just before you'd forget them (spaced repetition). A few minutes a day keeps them.
