How do I study on Cerego?

Structure: Study First, Then Attend Your Live Practice

Each Chatterbox lesson includes around 5 self-study assignments (units) on Cerego.

You should complete these independently before attending your Live Practice.

The structure is simple:

Self-study → Review → Live Practice

Your Live Practice is designed to help you use what you studied, so completing your assignments first is essential.

Study Breaks

While studying, you may receive notifications recommending a study break.

These breaks are intentional. They are designed to:

• Prevent cramming

• Encourage daily study habits (around 10–15 minutes per day)

• Help your brain retain information more effectively

You will first see the break notification in Cerego.
Then, in your Study Area, you’ll see that the assignment is temporarily locked with a timer showing when it will be available again.

Why Does This Happen?

These study breaks (sometimes called “Brain Freezes”) are part of the learning design.

They encourage you to:

• Review vocabulary and grammar gradually

• Study consistently over several days

• Strengthen long-term memory before your Live Practice

We recommend reaching at least 70% progress in each self-study assignment before meeting with your Language Coach.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Self-Study

Make use of reminders!

You can:

• Follow the timers shown in the Study Area

• Enable email notifications from Cerego

To manage your notifications:

1. Go to: https://cerego.com/dashboard

2. Click your name in the top right corner

3. Go to Settings → Notifications

4. We recommend keeping the final notification option enabled

These reminders help you stay consistent and avoid last-minute studying.

A Helpful Tip

Small, regular study sessions are far more effective than long, intensive ones.

10–15 minutes a day can make a big difference in how confident you feel during Live Practice.
