  • A Boredom-Free Experience: We ensure the content challenges your skills without being overwhelming, making your learning more efficient.

  • Full Flexibility: You can retake the test at any time if you feel your language has improved and you want to move to a higher level.

To take the test or adjust your level, follow these steps within the app:

  2. Tap the Settings icon at the top of the page.

  3. Select "Change Level" to start the test.


Managing Your Progress: Important Note ⚠️

  • Change Level: You will move to new stories that fit your level while keeping all your general achievements (Words learned, Streaks, and Badges).

  • Reset Learning Progress: Use this option only if you want to delete everything and start from scratch as a new user. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why can't I open stories from previous levels?

Because your test results confirmed you've surpassed them. We lock earlier content to keep your focus 100% on new challenges that actually improve your fluency.

Q: How do I go back to Level 1 (or retake the test)?

Simply go to "Change Level" in Settings. You can choose to Start from Level 1 directly or Start Placement Test. (Note: Selecting a new level restarts your journey from the first story of that level).
