Teacher Guide
A step-by-step guide to everything you can do on Lenguvo.

1. Getting Started: 3-Step Setup
When you first log in, the dashboard walks you through three onboarding steps:
- Create a class – your organisational unit for a group of students
- Add a learning set – vocabulary your students will learn
- Invite students – share your join code so students can join the class
Once all three steps are complete, you can run lessons, games, and exams.
2. Classes
2.1 Create a Class
Dashboard → “New Class” or Classes → “Create First Class”
- –Name – e.g. “Year 9B” or “French Year 9”
- –Subject – e.g. “English” (pre-filled)
- –Grade level – e.g. “Year 10”
After saving, a unique join code is generated, visible on the class card and detail page.
2.2 Share the Join Code with Students
Students join with the invite link or the join code – no email address, just a name.
- 1Invite: you'll find the code, invite link and QR code in your class under the “Students” or “Settings” tab. Use “Fullscreen / Projector” to show them large to the whole class.
- 2Join: students open the link, scan the QR code or go to lenguvo.com → “Student” and enter the code. Then they type their name.
- 3Sign in again later (e.g. on another device): use the link or code again and type exactly the same name – progress and XP are back straight away.
Tip: ideally everyone uses their first and last name, spelled the same way each time. A name spelled differently creates a new account. If someone forgets their name, it's in the student list.
2.3 Manage a Class
Open a class from the dashboard or class list. From the detail page you can:
| Action | How |
