Built in tutorial for each level will help you to use ELLIS

Students of Basic and Intro levels can listen to the tutorial in their native languages. For the students of Middle and Senior levels tutorial is available only in English.

Built-in tutorial looks exactly like ELLIS. But do not try to write your ID and password – the tutorial is not interactive. It is only illustrated guide!
