Courses
Each course is a graded path from the writing system to near-native command: numbered grammar rules and vocabulary, then examination drills, with a cumulative checkpoint after every block of sections.
The International Language, taught in the order and manner of Kellerman's 1910 grammar: a fully regular alphabet, then the parts of speech marked by their endings, each rule explained rather than merely stated.
Open3 sections · 1 checkpoint · 60 questions · A1German from the sounds upward, with the syllabus fixed from outside: what belongs at A1 is what the Goethe-Institut's own examination inventory lists, neither more nor less, so that finishing the level means having met exactly what Start Deutsch 1 examines. The rules are numbered continuously and give the reason for a form rather than asserting it, and each is drilled before anything is built on it.
Open8 sections · 2 checkpoints · 279 questions · A1Lithuanian from the alphabet to near-native command, in the manner of a classical grammar: numbered rules that explain why a form is used, illustrated by glossed examples, then drilled.
Open30 sections · 9 checkpoints · 1532 questions · A1–A2Telugu from the script upward. The alphabet is not a preliminary here but the first third of the course: an abugida of fifty-two letters, each consonant carrying a vowel of its own, is a system to be understood rather than a list to be memorised — and it is drilled at length before a single sentence is asked for.
