How much faster is the updated BeFluent platform?

Up to 7× faster. Word sets now open in 0.6 s (was 4.3 s), the word list loads in under a second (was 3–5 s), and practice starts in 1 s (was 2.4 s).

What changed in the BeFluent interface?

We simplified every screen. Today’s lesson and the words to review are on the main screen, one tap starts your session, and lessons, vocabulary and progress now share one consistent design.

Does BeFluent have yearly plans?

Yes. Both plans now have a yearly option, and when you pay for a year you get two months free.

How does the BeFluent free trial work with a yearly plan?

You get full access to the course and pay $0 today. Before the first payment we email you the amount, the date and a link to cancel. If you cancel before the payment date, you pay nothing.

BeFluent Update: Up to 7× Faster, a Simpler Interface and Annual Plans

We’ve been working on making your lessons faster and easier. Here are the highlights of the October update: up to 7× faster loading, a simpler interface, a consistent design across the platform, better stability, and yearly plans with two months free.

Speed: Up to 7× Faster

BeFluent platform update: word sets open in 0.6 seconds instead of 4.3

The dictionary got the biggest boost. Everything you open every day now responds almost instantly:

word sets open in 0.6 s (was 4.3 s),
the word list loads in under a second (was 3–5 s),
practice starts in 1 s (was 2.4 s).

Less waiting means more time actually practising — and it is easier to keep a daily habit when a session starts the moment you open the app.

A Simpler Interface

The new BeFluent home screen with today’s practice and a session summary

We went through every screen and made it simpler. Today’s lesson and the words you need to review are right on the main screen, and one tap starts your session.

After each session you see a short summary: how many words moved up, how many slipped back, and how many are still waiting for review — so you always know what to do next.

Consistent Design

Lessons, vocabulary and progress now follow the same design. Your course path, today’s lesson and your vocabulary review sit side by side, and we removed everything you didn’t need.

Stability

We fixed bugs across the site. Pages now load without issues, even on a weak connection — handy when you study on the go.

Annual Plans

BeFluent yearly plan with a free trial timeline and two months off

Both plans now have a yearly option. Pay for a year and you get two months free. For example, the Basic yearly plan is $199.90 for the year — about $16.66 a month.

Here is how the free trial works, so you always know what happens next:

Today: full access to the course, and you pay $0.
Before the first payment: we email you the amount, the date and a link to cancel.
On the payment date: your year starts and the first payment is charged. Cancel before this and you pay nothing.

What This Means

Faster screens, a clearer interface and one consistent design all point in the same direction: fewer clicks between you and your daily practice. If you are new to BeFluent, this is a good time to start learning Russian and see the update for yourself.
