Self-study language learning that stays structured
Self-Study is the full Vocalyra program on your own schedule: every lesson, quiz and stage exam at your level, plus daily practice tools.
What you get
One CEFR path, A1 to C2
Lessons are organised by CEFR level with a quiz at the end of each lesson and a stage exam before you move on. The pass mark is 80%.
Daily practice built in
Vocabulary with flashcards and audio, verb conjugation drills and dictation practice matched to your level.
Strengths & weaknesses
Every graded activity feeds a learning debrief that points you to the lesson or practice that fixes a weak spot.
Placement assessment
A placement test estimates your starting level so you don't repeat what you already know.
What Self-Study includes today
- The full CEFR program for your target language, starting at your placement level.
- Lesson quizzes and stage exams, each with an 80% pass mark.
- Vocabulary by topic with flashcards, pictures for many words and audio.
- Verb conjugation drills filtered to the tenses of your level.
- Dictation practice at your assessed level.
- A learning debrief that turns every graded activity into a list of strengths and weak spots.
How progress and mastery are checked
Nothing is marked done just because you opened it. Lessons count when you pass their quiz, levels when you pass the stage exam. Vocabulary topics open in bands: the next band unlocks when you have mastered the one before it.
Items you have already completed stay available for review, so passing a quiz never takes content away from you.
Realistic daily routines
Short, regular sessions usually beat one long session a week. Pick a routine you can keep on your busiest day.
- 15 minutes: one vocabulary session and a short set of verb drills.
- 30 minutes: one lesson and its quiz, then a quick flashcard review.
- 45 minutes: a lesson, a dictation, and a look at your debrief to choose tomorrow's focus.
Active study, not passive scrolling
Many apps reward streaks and taps. Self-Study asks you to produce answers: type the conjugation, write what you hear, pass the quiz. It is more demanding, and it shows you exactly what you can do at each level.
When to add group classes
Add live classes when you understand more than you can say, when you want a fixed weekly appointment to stay on track, or when you are preparing for a speaking task. Bundles combine Self-Study with 4, 8 or 12 group classes a month.
Who it's for
- Busy learners who study in short sessions
- Independent learners who want structure
- Anyone who wants to add live classes later
