Questions

What level do I need?

Conversation lessons work from level A2. If you’re a beginner, start with conversation + grammar. Not sure? Take the free level test.

What if I freeze or can’t find the words?

That’s normal and exactly what we practice. I help you with words and structures, and you’ll notice it gets easier every week.

Can I add some grammar when I need it?

Yes. You can switch between conversation only and conversation + grammar at any time.
