Note: You only need to do this setup once.

Nine courses are available for free; other languages require a subscription to open.
[Glossika web app]
If you've just signed up for Glossika, the system will automatically walk you through the process of choosing a target language and setting up a course.
If you've been using Glossika for a while and now would like to start learning another language, you'll have to add a new course manually.
1. Navigate to your Glossika dashboard and then click on the white "▾" icon located next to the name of the language you're studying
2. A drop down menu will appear — click "Course management"
3. From your Course Management screen, click the "+" icon
4. Search or scroll to find the language you want to learn
5. Confirm your native language — sentences from your target language will be translated into this language
6. Indicate your proficiency level — complete beginners will be started from zero, and everybody else will be asked to take a short placement test
7. Congrats! Your course has been set up, and you can now begin your language training

To add a new language course
1. If you are new to the Glossika iOS app or iOS Android app, you'll be automatically directed to the course list and asked to select a language to learn
2. If you’d like to add another language later on, simply click the white "v" button located in the upper-left corner
3. This is your course list — click the blue "plus" button to add a new language
4. After clicking the "plus" button, you will be prompted to select a "base language" and a "target language". First, set your base language — your native language, or the language in which you wish to see translations displayed.
5. Next, select your target language — the language you wish to learn. When you click "target language" you will see a dropdown list, shown below.
6. Next, you’ll see a page entitled “What best describes you?”
If you’re totally new to the language, select "I’m a complete beginner." You’ll be placed in the “A1 low” level.
7. If you already know some of the language, click the "Test my level" button to take a placement test.
