Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Every lesson, every clip and the word book are free.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and start lesson one — an account only syncs your word book between devices.

Does it work without internet?

The dictionary, grammar notes and your word book work offline. Video lessons and daily clips need a connection.

Is there an iPhone app?

Not yet. The app is Android only for now.
