Roommate Wanted

You've just landed your first place — now you need a roommate to help cover the rent. Between a parade of gloriously mismatched candidates, the rental paperwork nobody warned you about, and a choice between two wildly different flatmates, moving in is only the beginning. A warm, funny tour through renting in the real world — ending with keys in hand and a housewarming worth throwing.

Offered at every level — from Beginner (A1) to Upper-intermediate (B2). The app starts you at the right one and grows with you.
