About CEFR A2 to B1
Saturn lessons span CEFR A2 to B1 (Pre-Intermediate). At A2, kids understand sentences and common expressions, can get through routine tasks in English, and can describe their surroundings and immediate needs in simple terms. B1 goes a step further: following the main points of clear English on familiar topics, and describing experiences and events. A child who finishes Saturn has a broad, solid English vocabulary to build on.
Questions about Saturn

Most lessons can be played in several of the 17 mini-game types, such as matching, memory, bubble pop and odd one out.
What CEFR level is Saturn?
Saturn maps to CEFR level A2 to B1. The words and sentence patterns are chosen for that level, and the lessons get harder as you move through the planet.
How many lessons does Saturn have?
Saturn has 16 lessons, and each one takes a few minutes. Replaying a lesson can land on a different game type, so the same words come back without the same activity.
What ages is Saturn suitable for?
Saturn suits kids, teens and adult beginners at CEFR A2 to B1. Younger children get simpler tap-and-match games. Some game types open up with the learner's age, so older learners and adults also get games like dictation and conversation.
Do I need to finish earlier planets before playing Saturn?
Yes. Lessons open one at a time, in planet order from Earth to Pluto: each lesson you finish opens the next one, so the first Saturn lesson opens once you finish the last lesson on Jupiter. You can replay any lesson that is already open.
