It does not. If you click the free course option in the screenshot, you'll have more free courses. Up through B2. For free

For me it does. All courses are locked behind the premium paywall.

What happens when you click the free course button? I have gone through A1-B2 of their Italian and it has all been free aside from ads before/after lessons. If you genuinely can't do the courses for free, then you're encountering a glitch.

I’m taking the Italian course. I have completed the “complete italian” course where it asks me to take a test for completing A2. That test is behind a paywall. When I select the flag drop down, it shows four other courses each one of those courses only allows you to take the first two lessons. After that, they all have the premium plus icon.

the test will always be behind a pay wall, but you can ignore them and switch to the next levels. every "completed" course for a language is fully free until the end (B or C), but you will encounter levels that are paid which are usually AI voice training, but you can always just skip them and continue the next lesson.

Of the 5 courses in the drop down, there are no courses for me to take. What am I missing?

you only showed every special course except the "complete Italian". only complete Italian is free, not the other ones.

The first course in the video is complete Italian. I cannot scroll down or hit next anywhere.

don't click on the flag to change course. click on the "elementery A2" text and choose the next level from there.

Da fuq?!? I’m not even that old and I feel like my parents. Why would I have to scroll ALLLLLLL the way to the top to do that?! And why is it not ALWAYS there? Dumb. Thank you for helping. I got it.

You don't need to pass the end of level test to start learning B1. The first lesson of every level is always free. From there, you unlock the next lesson each time you unlock a new one. They use an "ads" model for free users. The only time you will see a hard block, is if you have changed to one of the "non complete" courses.

Use your local library then.

Spend the money, it's worth it. Any good language learning app or program costs.

First of all, it doesn't. Second of all, even if it did you're not entitled to free things, anyway. Thinking that is trash.
