Good to know

What do I get when I buy a level?

That level’s interactive lessons (flashcards, quizzes and typing practice that check every answer) and its written guide: vocabulary with a say-it-like hint on every line, dialogues, grammar notes and exercises. You use it online in your account, on any device, for as long as you own it.

Do I have to buy all six levels?

No. Buy one level at a time and move up when you’re ready: each new level opens once you own the one before it. If you already know you want the whole language, all six levels together cost $99, which saves 26%.

Can I combine it with a tutor?

Yes, and it works best that way. Learn the words and grammar at your own pace, then practise speaking with a native-speaker tutor in live one-to-one video lessons.

Is there a subscription?

No. Every level is a one-off payment and stays in your account. If you change your mind, you can get a full refund within 7 days as long as you haven’t started it.
