What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

Working on the Android app from a Syrian connection without a VPN: a signed-in learner opened the Introduction to Python course, with earlier chapters and lessons marked complete and the next chapter open.

Landing pageNot checked
Sign-upWorks

Working, inferred from the same test: the tester was using their own account from Syria, with Syria set as its location and several courses in progress, so an account can be created and used from Syria. No screenshot shows the sign-up step itself.

Sign-inWorks

Working on the Android app from a Syrian connection: a signed-in account loaded its own profile, showing Syria as its location, its XP and level, its streak history and its course progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Sololearn works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Sololearn directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
