How is the starting level found?
Placement starts at Pre-A1 regardless of age; at least 8 correct answers out of 10 move the learner to the next level. Starting at Pre-A1 without a test is also possible.
Children find a starting point through their answers rather than a level assigned by age.
Step by step in the app
- Choose Student, Parent or Teacher on Register. Students should use a nickname; complete the birth date, password and required parental consent. Teachers must enter their full name.
- After registration, take placement or start from Pre-A1. Age does not assign a course level.
- Placement starts at Pre-A1. At least 8 out of 10 correct answers advances you to the next course; the first course you do not pass becomes your study level.
- Use Sign in to return to your account. Parents and teachers can also study and play; teacher verification is in Classes.

What happens in a grammar lesson?
150 grammar topics use short lessons: predict first, discover through examples, then practise. After a completed lesson, three-question memory checks return after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days.
Explanations show the reason behind the rule; later checks provide a chance to retrieve it. At least two correct answers out of three advance the review interval.
Step by step in the app
- Switch between Grammar and Sentence Structure in Lessons. Grammar topics follow a course map from Pre-A1 to C2.
- Open the next lesson card or a topic on the map. Your course starts expanded; you can open other courses too. Topics are not locked.
