How a scenario works

  1. Pick a language and a level. Any of 29; the level sets how simple or rich your partner's language is.
  2. Chat or call. Type, hold the mic to speak, or start a hands-free call with subtitles.
  3. Hit the goals. They tick off as you go. Stuck? Ask for suggestions or translate any reply.
  4. Learn from it. What you got wrong is kept in your Study tab, and with Pro it turns into your next daily lesson.

Learning one of these? There is also a full course in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Turkish.
