# Getting started

> Accept your teacher's invite, sign in to both apps, and complete the quick placement check.

## 1. Accept your teacher's invite

Your teacher invites you by email. Open the email and click the confirmation link — this verifies your address and links you to your teacher. Once confirmed, you can book lessons and your teacher can schedule them with you.

<Note>
  If you didn't get the email, check spam, or ask your teacher to re-send the invite from their **Students** page. You must confirm the link before your first lesson can be booked.
</Note>

## 2. Sign in to the web app

Go to [app.justtalk.ai](https://app.justtalk.ai) and sign in. You'll land on your **Dashboard**, with your upcoming lessons, your Focus Set, and a vocabulary overview.

## 3. Set up the AI practice app

Open [chat.justtalk.ai](https://chat.justtalk.ai) (or install the iOS app) and sign in with the **same account**. The first time, you'll see a short intro and a personalization flow.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Meet the app">
    A quick intro to natural voice conversations, feedback after you speak, and vocabulary that grows with you.

  </Step>

  <Step title="See the AI characters">
    You'll practice with different personalities — some supportive, some challenging.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer a few questions">
    Age, native language, how you feel about speaking, and your goals — this tailors your practice.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Take the vocabulary check">
    Tap the words you know (40 words, \~1 minute). This estimates your level and personalizes conversations.

  </Step>
</Steps>

After the check, the app estimates your proficiency and drops you into your home screen with practice ready to go.

## 4. You're set

* **Live lessons** happen on the **web app**.
