Frequently Asked Questions

What level do I need to use Verva?

Verva is designed for intermediate learners and above (B1+). If you can read simple texts with some help, you're ready. Every piece of content comes in both intermediate and advanced versions.

How is Verva different from Duolingo?

Duolingo teaches through gamified drills on isolated sentences. Verva helps you learn through real content — news, stories, cultural pieces — with an assistant that explains anything you don't understand. It's for learners who want depth, not streaks.

What languages can I learn?

Verva supports English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. You can learn any of these from any other — pick your target language and the language you already know.

How does the assistant work?

Tap any word or phrase to see its translation and grammar. Want to know more? Ask any question — why is this verb in this tense? Is this formal or informal? How would a native actually say this? The assistant explains, not just translates.

Is Verva free?

Verva offers a free tier with access to all content and audio. Verva Max removes limits on asking questions, generating practice exercises, and getting smart feedback on your answers.
