Whatever your goal — immigration, an Ausbildung, studying, or just challenging yourself — you always start at A1. From there, every level takes you a step closer: A2 gives you independence in daily life, B1 is the door that opens up an Ausbildung and work, B2 gives you real fluency, and C1 is full mastery. The curriculum is built like a real school — each level builds on the last, with no jumps and no gaps.
What will you learn?
A curriculum built on the European CEFR framework — each level builds on the last.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know French or English to start?
No. Everything is explained in English from zero — Nour explains in a language you actually understand.
How long will it take me to reach B1?
Around 18 weeks at 15-20 minutes a day. That's only an estimate — it varies with how consistent you are.
Is the Lerniyo certificate officially recognized?
No. Lerniyo's exam is built in the style of official exams (Goethe, telc, ÖSD), and our certificate attests completion of our own curriculum — it is not an official registration with any of those institutes.
What level do I need for an Ausbildung?
Usually B1 — some programs ask for B2. We have a full page that explains this in detail.
Can I start for free?
Yes — the first A1 unit is free forever, with no signup and no credit card.
Do I need a lot of time each day?
No. 15 minutes a day is enough to make steady progress — consistency matters more than duration.
