We try to offer a lot of flexibility within Biblingo in order to meet everyone's learning goals, so we have two different ways to learn the alphabet. Both options are explained below (note: there are some difference between the web app and the mobile app).
Option 1: Integrated Lessons
This is the option we recommend, though it is a unique approach to learning the alphabet. You basically learn just enough letters in order to dive into the first lessons and start learning vocabulary and grammar. Then you learn some more letters in order to learn more vocabulary and grammar, and repeat this until you gradually learn all the letters.

This approach cuts the up-front load of learning the alphabet in half and allows you to get to the fun part - actually using the language - much more quickly.

If you want to use this option, we highly recommend doing it on the mobile app. All you have to do is navigate to the "Learn" tab, and follow the lesson progression. The alphabet videos and exercises are built-in, so you just follow the progression.
Option 2: Standalone Lessons
This option is more of a traditional way to learn the alphabet. You basically learn (and practice) the whole alphabet up front, and then you dive into learning the vocabulary and grammar of the language. Of course, these lessons are still unique in that they use Biblingo's methodology that incorporate interactive practice drills to help you learn not only the letters of the alphabet, but also to begin developing basic reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.

βHere's how Option 2 works on web:
Click the "Alphabet Lessons" tab in the main menu
Scroll down until you see the "Standalone Alphabet" videos
Start with "Standalone Alphabet - Part 1"
Click "Flashcard Deck" in the main menu, then "Preset Decks" in the sub-menu
Click the "Standalone Alphabet Lessons" folder
Complete the following decks: Alphabet Part 1.A, Alphabet Part 1.B, Alphabet Part 1.C, Alphabet Part 1.D
Continue alternating between the alphabet lesson videos and the accompanying flashcard decks
Here's how Option 2 works on mobile:
Select the "Bank" tab in the main menu
Scroll down to the "Alphabet Lesson Videos" section
Select the "Standalone Alphabet" dropdown
Watch the "Standalone Alphabet Part 1" video
In the Bank, go to the "Preset Vocab Decks" section
Select the "Standalone Alphabet Lessons" dropdown
Complete the following decks: Alphabet Part 1.A, Alphabet Part 1.B, Alphabet Part 1.C, Alphabet Part 1.D
Continue alternating between the alphabet lesson videos and the accompanying flashcard decks
To summarize Option 2, this the order in which you should complete the videos and flashcard decks (on both web and mobile)
