FAQ

What others ask

Do I need an account?

No account is needed to try the sample. Sign in to keep your learning activity and access your courses.

What's included in a level?

Each level is organised around published grammar points and example sentences, arranged to help you build complete sentences step by step.

How do audio and pronunciation work?

Where audio is available, you can listen to the sentence and its parts. Pronunciation hints are also shown where the content provides them.

Will my progress be saved?

When you practise while signed in, your reviews and course progress are associated with your account.

How much time should I practise?

Around 15 minutes a day is a useful starting point. You can work through a few new sentences and return to reviews as they become due.

Is 3 months enough?

It is enough for a focused pass through one level if you practise most days. Lifetime access is the same course without an end date, for when you want to come back later.

What happens when 3 months ends?

Access to that level stops. Your account and the record of what you studied stay. You can buy lifetime access afterwards if you want to continue.

I already use another app and can recognise words, but I can't speak

That is the gap LangKraft is built for. You say each piece from English before the answer is revealed, instead of tapping the option you recognise.
