The four languages
Four languages, four registers. No fifth until these are excellent.
Every language here needs its own two tutors, twelve scenario rooms, a briefing voice and its own register traps. That is why the menu is short. It is a content decision, not a technical limit — but it is a decision we will keep.
Spanish
Español
Warm, social and fast in the room — and the formal register that keeps a negotiation civil.

French
Français
Salon, literary, dry — and the commercial French of a boardroom that has no patience for it.

Table and street — theatrical, generous, allergic to hesitation.

Formal, service and business — exact on level, patient with the person.

The honest part
We estimate your comfort. We do not certify you.
There is no CEFR certificate at the end of this and no promise of B2. What you get is a plain description of what you can currently do in a room — comfortable in simple transactions, can hold a dinner table, can negotiate — and a record of where you stopped. No one should buy a language credential from a website.
The four languages, answered
Why four, and whether you pay for each one.
- Which languages does Lingua Serena teach?
- Lingua Serena teaches four: Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese. Each has two tutors where the register demands it, twelve scenario rooms across the house, a briefing voice and its own traps, from usted and tú to liaison to keigo. A fifth language is a content decision for later, never a rebuild of the platform.
- Why does Lingua Serena only offer four languages?
- Because a language needs tutors, rooms, a briefing voice and its own register traps before it is worth teaching. Lingua Serena would rather launch four languages properly than twenty launched thinly, and browser speech recognition is only reliably good for a short list. The data model is language-agnostic; the restraint is deliberate.
- Do I need a different membership for each language?
- No. A Lingua Serena membership covers all four languages, every tutor and every scenario room. You set a primary language at the Threshold so the tutor knows where to begin, and you can move between Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese without paying again or asking anyone. The house is one house.
