Why Lingvist? How does it work?
In order to help you learn Slovak as quickly as possible, Bolt has partnered up with Lingvist. Lingvist leverages AI and spaced repetition algorithms to teach languages, meaning the app adapts to each user individually.
Learning is achieved through a flashcard method that is based on the implicit learning method, meaning that you learn the necessary vocabulary and phrases implicitly, as you are constantly exposed to new vocabulary, correct sentence structures, and pronunciation. This method also combines vocabulary, listening, pronunciation, writing, and grammar. The aim is to teach you the needed vocabulary and phrases as quickly and efficiently as possible.
What next?
Once you download the app and log in, you will have an opportunity to take the test. The test evaluates your knowledge of the Slovak vocabulary needed to comfortably communicate with passengers. The certificate will be sent to your email address.
PS! The certificate information (or failure to obtain one) will be shared with Bolt. You can read more about how we process your personal data as well as your rights in connection to it in our Privacy Policy (available only in English).
What is the Lingvist test?
The test takes place on the Lingvist app, where you will see flashcards which test your basic knowledge of Slovak phrases and vocabulary.
The test normally takes about 20 minutes, and you can take it only once. It is completely free of charge.
Please make sure that you can complete the test once you start it, as interrupting the test will result in an automatic fail.
