Before you begin
Your course questions, answered.
Find the right starting point and understand how the sample, AI practice, and membership fit together.
Ask us a questionHow do I choose a starting point?
Read the outline and try the sample lesson. Start with the foundations when the words are new. When the material looks familiar, check whether you can also understand the example and answer without reading it.
Are these live classes with a teacher?
This page introduces self-paced learning with AI-assisted practice, rather than scheduled live classes with a human instructor. You work through the material at your own pace.
Can I try the sample without an account or microphone?
Yes. The Spanish sample on this page is available without signing in. You can read, listen when a Spanish browser voice is available, answer the questions, and practice aloud on your own. This sample does not record your voice.
Do all languages have the same course structure and levels?
The outline here describes this Spanish sample unit. It is not a complete syllabus for every language or proficiency level. Explore the language you want to study and check the learning options available for it.
Will my sample progress be saved?
Turn on “Remember this sample on this device” to save your completed steps in this browser. This is optional and does not sync to your SayLingo account or other devices. Clearing your browser data also clears the saved sample progress.
Does finishing a lesson certify my language level?
No. Finishing a lesson and assessing language proficiency are different things. This sample does not assign a CEFR level or issue a certificate. Read about the AI Language Certificate to understand SayLingo’s separate learning record.
What should I check before choosing a membership?
Review which learning and practice features the plan includes, any usage limits, and the access conditions. The sample on this page is free to explore. See the current membership details before choosing a paid plan.
