Common questions from first-time learners
- I have never learned a foreign language before. Where do I start?
- Tell your tutor in the first message that you are a complete beginner. They will start with the sounds of the language, greetings, and the most useful 100 words — before any grammar rules.
- Am I too old to learn a new language from scratch?
- No. Adults learn languages every day. Beginner-specialist tutors on Unox work with learners of all ages — including many adults starting their first foreign language in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.
- How long before I can have a real conversation?
- For phonetically regular languages like Spanish or Korean, most learners can handle simple 5-minute conversations after 10–15 focused lessons. Mandarin and Japanese typically take longer due to tones or script. Your tutor will give you a realistic timeline after the first session.
