📚  You'll have to purchase a subscription if you want to keep learning after the trial lesson. Lesson prices are determined by subscription plans. When purchasing a subscription, you have the flexibility to select the intensity of lessons (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 lessons per week), the duration of each lesson (30, 45, or 60 minutes), and the subscription period (1 month or 3 months).
