HOW IT WORKS
From zero to ready in 4 steps
A process designed to make the most of every minute you study.
01
Start practicing
Choose your exam, set your date and start. Your first sessions are already real exercises — lingaly learns from every answer to understand where you stand. No artificial placement test.
02
Sessions that adapt to you
Each session focuses on what matters most for your preparation. 10-15 focused minutes on what you actually need. You just hit start.
03
Learn from every mistake
For grammar exercises, you see the explanation instantly. For comprehension exercises, we guide you in 2 phases to discover the answer yourself.
04
Know when you're ready
Full mock exams that estimate how you'd do if you sat the exam today. When you reach your exam's threshold, you'll know.

WHY IT WORKS
Not an exercise bank. A system that knows you
Every session combines four coordinated mechanisms so every minute counts.
YOUR LEVEL
We know exactly what you know
Each competency has its own level. Getting something hard right counts more. Getting something easy wrong also weighs more. Your profile reflects your real mastery, weighted by the difficulty of each answer.
Each competency is tracked individually. Your level updates with every answer.
RIGHT LEVEL
Exercises tailored to you
Every exercise is calibrated to be a real challenge but achievable. Not so easy you don't learn, not so hard you get frustrated. Always at your peak learning zone.
Difficulty adjusts automatically to your current level in each competency.
EasyHard
READINESS
Are you ready for the exam?
Full mock exams that replicate your exam structure. They tell you exactly how you'd do if you sat the exam today.
Mock exams based on the real format and structure of your certification.
EVERY SESSION COUNTS
You always practice what matters most
Each session picks the competencies that most impact your preparation. What you haven't practiced in a while, what you struggle with most, what weighs most on the exam. Nothing is random.
Every minute of practice is optimized to move your preparation forward.
PEDAGOGY
We don't give you the answer. We teach you to find it
When you fail a comprehension exercise, you don't just see red and green. We guide you to discover the answer in two phases.
Phase 1: Hints to think
Your answer is incorrect
What does the author say about motivation in paragraph 3?
Evidence zone: paragraph 3
You have 1 re-attempt
You got it!
+ Transferable strategy
Phase 2 →
Phase 2: Full explanation
Look at lines 15-18: 'although initially reluctant, she eventually...' The key is 'eventually'
Precise evidence: lines 15-18
Transferable strategy
Look for contrast words (although, however, yet) that signal position changes
Your progress is honest
Your progress is measured from your first answer — before feedback. Assisted answers don't count toward your mastery.
Strategies that always work
Every phase ends with a strategy you can apply to other texts. You don't memorize answers — you learn to solve.
Listening too
In audio exercises, Phase 1 tells you what to listen for and replays the key segment. Phase 2 shows you the transcript with key signals highlighted.
