Frequently Asked Questions about Lingust

Meet Lexi, the Firebird. This mascot was chosen intentionally and carries a deep meaning that perfectly reflects the essence of language learning and matches our website’s warm color palette.

The Slavic Firebird can be seen as:

A symbol of a beautiful goal. In fairy tales, the Firebird is an extraordinary treasure that heroes embark on a long and challenging journey to find. A single feather, once caught, illuminates a dark room like a thousand candles. Similarly, the first step in learning a language is like finding that magical feather—it sheds light on a previously unfamiliar world of foreign speech.

A symbol of knowledge and enlightenment. The glow radiating from the Firebird is not just physical fire. In traditional culture, light represents truth, intellect, and clear understanding. Capturing the Firebird (mastering a language) requires a persistent, brave, and hardworking hero willing to overcome the challenges of grammar, pronunciation, and practice.

A symbol of cultural wealth and beauty. Its golden feathers shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow, symbolizing the immense cultural treasures that open up to anyone who learns a language: literature, cinema, music, and the unique mindset of another nation.

Language proficiency is typically divided into six CEFR levels: A1 (Beginner), A2 (Elementary), B1 (Intermediate), B2 (Upper-Intermediate), C1 (Advanced), and C2 (Proficiency). These levels are relative.

Our core online courses cover the A1-A2 levels, while the English and the Spanish courses goes up to B1. Achieving a solid B1 level through independent study on our platform is highly realistic if you study consistently.

If you have enough free time, energy, and strong motivation, you can certainly try studying two languages at once. However, for most learners, we highly recommend focusing on one language first until you reach a stable intermediate level, before moving on to another.
