Frequently Asked Questions

Learning Paths are structured courses that guide you through curated videos, exercises, and milestones. Each path has a specific goal (e.g., "Business Spanish A2," "Travel Japanese," "French Grammar Foundations") and includes lessons in a recommended order. Paths ensure comprehensive skill development.

Go to Learning Paths in the sidebar, browse available paths filtered by language and level, then click Start Path. You can join multiple paths simultaneously. Your active paths appear on your dashboard with progress bars. You can pause or leave a path anytime without losing progress.

Progress is tracked by completed lessons (videos watched + exercises passed). Each lesson must be completed before unlocking the next. You'll see a progress bar showing percentage complete and estimated time remaining. Completing lessons earns path-specific XP bonuses and milestone achievements.

Each lesson includes a video and required exercises. Watch the video to 90%+, then complete all exercises with 70%+ accuracy to mark the lesson complete. Some lessons have quizzes or challenges that must be passed. Completed lessons are marked with a checkmark.

SubLearn analyzes your proficiency level, learning goals, interests, and progress history to recommend paths. Check your dashboard for Recommended Paths. You can also take a Placement Quiz from the Learning Paths page to get personalized suggestions based on your current skills.

Paths are tagged with CEFR levels: A1 (beginner), A2 (elementary), B1 (intermediate), B2 (upper intermediate), C1 (advanced), C2 (mastery). Each path focuses on skills appropriate for that level. Completing a path at your level prepares you for the next level's content.

Absolutely! You can pause, leave, or switch paths anytime from My Paths. Your progress is saved, so you can return later. Active paths appear on your dashboard; paused paths are in Paused Paths. We recommend focusing on 1-2 active paths at a time for consistent progress.
