## About

Language learning platform built on real-world videos, with interactive subtitles, flashcards and quizzes.

## Activity summary

Restricted in Syria. A community report in September 2026 describes sign-up completing normally and the payment step refusing repeatedly, though the refusal itself has not yet been captured in evidence.

## Community reports

- 2026-09-02 — Investigated. A community member in Syria reported reaching FluentU and progressing through sign-up without difficulty, then being refused at the payment step despite repeated attempts. The submitted screenshot captures the sign-up flow stalled at the password step rather than the refusal itself, so the restriction rests on the report rather than on the image, and the service is recorded as restricted on that basis. Account access and the learning content are not affected. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/vynl8kuedv8acx8wjndn4fv4/zo8gm1pjmdhwui5kk6zbtwws.jpg)

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
