Getting started

Welcome to Zollang. Four steps take you from a new account to your first finished lesson.

Sign up with your email — we send you a sign-in code, no password needed — or continue with Google.
In the Zollang app you can also continue with Apple, or start as a guest and create an account later to keep your progress.
Your free plan starts right away: one lesson of each kind to try, plus vocabulary review and pre-made lessons.

Choose the language you're learning and your native language — you can change both later from the language menu in the navigation.
Pick your difficulty tier: Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate or Advanced. It sets the level of the texts Zollang writes for you, and you can change it from the level dialog on your dashboard.
Choose the language of the interface in Settings, if it isn't the one you'd like.

Select Create (the + button), then choose what you're bringing: your own text (or have Zollang write one), a page to scan, a YouTube link, an article or topic for a slow podcast, or a word list.
Not sure where to start? Pick a pre-made lesson — it costs no credits and is ready in a moment.
Zollang checks the language, picks out the vocabulary, builds the audio and opens the lesson when it's ready.

Study: hear each sentence, understand it piece by piece, then say it yourself. If you can't speak right now, turn on tap practice and answer by tapping instead.
Recap: at the end of the session you rebuild each sentence and recall its new word — that's what makes it stick.
Then read the whole text at your own pace in Read, and go over anything you missed in Exercises.
Your new words go into your vocabulary and come back for spaced review when it's time.

Quick tips

1.Start with a short text to get a feel for how a session works.
2.Use headphones — for the session, for Conversation and for the Pronunciation coach.
3.Mark the words you already know as known, so your reviews stay focused on new vocabulary.
4.Review your words a little every day to keep your streak and remember more.
