# Find a study partner and stick with it for seven days

Exams, certificates, daily habits: on your own it is easy to slip. On Bifrost, find someone with a similar goal, nearby or in another country, and go seven days together one-to-one.

## Why a study partner helps

A study partner is not about chatting; it is about **someone seeing your plan and progress every day**. Knowing someone is working toward the same goal makes it easier to start on time and keep going. Preparing for an HSK exam? A partner in China helps with speaking too.

## How to find one

1. **Write down your goal**: Add your goal and date to your profile, for example “HSK 4 in December”.
2. **Pick a country and browse**: Pick your own country for nearby partners, or Mainland China for native speakers.
3. **Light each other up in 12 hours**: Once they light you back, you are connected one-to-one, not dropped into a big group.
4. **Start a seven-day journey**: Daily to-dos and progress are visible to both; continue after seven days if you like.

## How it differs from group check-ins

|  | Bifrost seven-day journey | Typical check-in group |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Size | One-to-one | Dozens to hundreds |
| How it starts | Mutual light-up within 12 hours | Join via a link |
| Length | Seven days, renewable | Usually open-ended |
| What you see | Your partner’s daily to-dos and progress | Scattered screenshots |

## Focus together

Bifrost’s focus timer lets you invite a friend to start together and share your focus timer, which works well for a scheduled online study session.

## FAQ

### Is it free to find a study partner?

Downloading and signing up are free, and light-ups within the same country are free. Finding a partner in another country needs a cross-border light-up, which is a Bifrost membership benefit.

### What if they do not light me back?

If they do not light you up within 12 hours, no connection is made and you can keep browsing.
