You have several options for studying our material offline. Using the mobile app is our top recommendation as it's easy, convenient, has built in organization, and give you access to more lesson materials. Assessment tests are not downloadable by any method.
Downloading Lessons In the App
Using the app, you can download individual lessons or download several (or even all) of the lessons from a series at once. To get started, please download and sign in to the app. See our articles on our iOS and Android App and Signing In. When you download a lesson using the app, most of the material you have access to will be downloaded. To see what materials are included in your subscription, see our article on Subscription Tiers. Please note that vocabulary audio always requires an internet connection.
Note: In order to use your downloaded lessons offline, you must have signed into your account while connected to the internet at least once.
