We've organized lessons by theme and difficulty, getting harder as you go along within each section. This way, you'll build specific communication skills step-by-step. The number of sections varies by your language level, and you can tackle them in any order you like.

At the top of each section, there is a green progress bar that visually represents overall section progression as you complete lessons.

At the top of each section is a grey Live Class toggle. When toggled ON, it turns red and the associated Live Class for each Self-paced Lesson in that section is displayed. Depending on your plan type, you can then book a Live Class or simply practice with the Live Class prep materials.

Each section concludes with a Review Experience, guided by Geo. This dynamic and optional activity can be repeated and is context-sensitive. Drawing on recent lesson engagement and individual progress, it suggests relevant material for review. These exercises are designed to target your areas needing improvement to help you achieve the section's communication objectives.

The Introduction establishes the content, goal, and real-world relevance of the lesson by activating your background knowledge and setting clear expectations for learning outcomes. At this stage, you will understand the purpose of the lesson and what you should aim to achieve at its end. To start, a carefully considered activation question is included. This is designed to encourage your initial interaction with the subject matter and provide a glimpse into the material that will follow.

In each Self-Paced Lesson, the "Listen" stage begins with a conversation between two avatars. This conversation is carefully written to show how people really talk in everyday situations related to the lesson's goals. You'll hear natural language used in context, which will give you a great example for the rest of the lesson.

Following the conversation, you will move on to micro-lectures. These short segments, also scripted, are full lectures divided into three to five parts for easy digestion. They focus on key vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and communicative strategies crucial for the lesson's culminating tasks.

After each micro-lecture, you'll encounter a Comprehension Check. These questions are designed to help you connect the material to your own experiences and activate your background knowledge, promoting deeper engagement rather than testing immediate understanding.

The Practice area uses AI, trained by our learning experts, to give you step-by-step practice that's similar to our Live Classes. You'll start with easier tasks like putting sentences in order and filling in blanks, and then move on to more open-ended practice with helpful tips and guidance along the way.

The feedback you get will cheer you on and point out exactly what you did well. It also will explain what you can work on with grammar and how clearly you're communicating. Because the AI learns as you go, this section helps you practice and think about how to improve each time you try.

Think of the Apply section as your chance to really use what you've learned in a fun, practice conversation. It’s like the free-talking part of our Live Classes, where you get to chat about real-life stuff based on what you just studied. The goal is to show that you can not just understand, but actually speak the language by acting out different situations.
