    Hi, I have a question. Considering I have an A2 student, is there a recomended order for classes? Something like a Coursebook table of contents so that I don’t have to keep looking for what to do next?

      Hello! At this point, there’re no recommended flow of lessons or ready-to-use courses for a given level. We’re thinking about creating such courses, but for now you must decide yourself what your student’s needs are and select the lesson order yourself.

        Yes, I also would like some kind of order recommendation or a syllabus!
