Membership
Three ways in. No monthly billing, ever.
A year is the smallest unit this house sells, because a language you can hold a room in is not a four-week project. Nothing renews silently, and there is no trial that quietly converts into a charge.

The free tier
One session is free. The house is not.
A visitor gets the ninety-second Threshold exchange and one Salon session. Then a wall that says exactly that, with no countdown.
The cap
A thousand founding places, enforced.
Each founding membership is numbered. The thousand and first request is refused at the point of payment, not quietly accepted and refunded later.
What is not sold
No certificate, at any price.
Membership buys time with the house and its memory. It does not buy a credential, and we will not imply otherwise on an invoice.
Money, answered
What membership costs, and what it does not buy.
- How much does Lingua Serena cost?
- Lingua Serena costs $149 a year for The Year, $390 a year for The Salon, or $399 once for the Founding Thousand, which is Salon access for life at a numbered place. Prices are in US dollars, there is no monthly option, and no plan renews itself silently or converts from a trial into a charge.
- Is there a free trial at Lingua Serena?
- There is one free session rather than a trial period. A visitor can take the ninety-second Threshold exchange and one full nine-minute Salon session with no card and no account. After that a wall says plainly that the house is not free. Lingua Serena does not run a countdown, and the only scarcity is the thousand founding places.
- What happens if I do not get a founding place?
- The thousandth founding place is the last one. Lingua Serena refuses the 1,001st request at the point of payment rather than accepting it and refunding it later. The Year and The Salon remain available at their stated prices, and The Salon includes everything the founding membership includes, minus the number and the lifetime term.
