Sprint to fluency with Lingoda
I love the Lingoda teachers, the materials and the flexibility. I did a Sprint in Spanish - an hour small group lesson every other day for 2 months, scheduled whenever I wanted. It is a great, systematic and enjoyable way to become conversational in a new language in a short time.

The good structure of the materials
The diversity of the teachers, the structure of the materials, specially the exercises for preparing a class and after that.

I love the content
I love the content. I do not like the fact that I have to purchase 5 lessons per month when I really can only use 4 lessons per month.
I wish there was a way that we could request a certain instructor. For instance, at my last lesson, comments were made for me to improve upon. I totally agree. I wish that I could somehow repeat that lesson or the next one (for instance) with the same instructor to work on those criticisms so I could improve. Yes, I could do a private lesson but I could not request the same instructor. I also wish that there was some "extra" courses to specifically work on speaking, speaking flow, etc. Not written learning but more on spoken learning.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback, Karl.
We’re glad to hear that you enjoy the content of the lessons, and we appreciate you highlighting the areas where your experience could be improved.
Regarding your suggestion about choosing a specific teacher, we completely understand that in some situations continuity with the same instructor, especially after receiving a specific feedback, can be very helpful for learning progress.
At the moment, it is unfortunately not possible to actively select a specific teacher for either group or private classes. However, we value your suggestion and will forward this feedback to the responsible department for review.
Concerning the subscription packages, our plans currently come in a set number of classes per month, which means they cannot be customized individually. We’re sorry that we do not currently offer a 4-class package that would better match your preferred learning rhythm, but we appreciate you sharing this suggestion with us.
With regard to your interest in more speaking-focused practice, we actually offer different types of lessons on the platform, such as Vocabulary, Skills, Reading, Speaking, and Grammar. If your goal is to focus more on spoken language and fluency, we recommend selecting Speaking classes when booking. You can do this in your account under the “My Course” section, where the chapters and lessons are listed along with their class type, making it easier to choose the ones focused on speaking practice.
Additionally, we also offer custom private classes, where you can describe your specific learning goals (for example improving speaking flow or practicing conversation). One of our teachers will then prepare an individual lesson based on your description. The more detailed the learning objective you provide, the better the teacher can tailor the session to your needs.
Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback, and we hope to assist you further on your language learning journey!

I love the classes themselves and the teachers have all been so great (I'm very impressed) but the new Lingoda classroom has had a lot of issues. I had to log out and log back into my last class three times. I would prefer if they just used Zoom

Variety of Content and Tutors, Customizable Experience
Personable tutors, a great variety of people teaching as well as types of classes. I like how it doesn't limit you to a specific lesson or order in which you must take the classes. It recommends an order but at the end of the day you have the freedom to take whatever interests you.
Some teachers are a bit relaxed or distracted during sessions and do not provide the best feedback, but most are very kind and helpful. Some go above and beyond!!

wide range of lesson content
I have been using Lingoda to learn German for a few years now. For more advanced language learners, I often found conversation classes less valuable than they are at lower levels. At C1+, I really appreciate having targeted lessons on a wide range of topics, for example: German romantic painters; negotiation and conflict resolution; haptic technology, etc. Having a detailed lesson topic is helpful compared to talking about one's own interests in conversational classes. The task of learning a new language is to learn to talk about anything and everything!
The vast majority of the teachers are genuinely enthused about teaching languages and quickly create a safe, calm, but constructive learning atmosphere.
Also, I have only ever contacted support twice, but on each occasion, they gave really detailed responses and, more importantly, resolved my problems.

It used to be better
It used to be better. I really enjoyed their marathon experience and even managed to finish it. And I actually enjoy having different teachers. However, now they have removed the possibility to pause the subscription for more than 1 months, and almost every month you need to pay. The minimum is 5 lessons per months. I am not managing to do the lessons and the review of the material at the same time. In the end, my lessons keep getting accumulated and I am not able to finish them, though I want to stop using the platform. Overall, it seems like they are building a mechanism to hold students as much as possible and to "suck" their money. It is not very pleasant feeling to be a student in such platform.
Also 17 euros is a bit pricey for a group lesson... Not many possibilities to practice listening skills, or additional skills which are not linked to specific lesson.

Thank you for your detailed review and for sharing your experience.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed and successfully completed our former Marathon course (now Sprint). It’s great to know that you liked having different teachers and engaging with the variety in classes.
As part of our Flex courses, all of our plans are monthly subscriptions that renew every 28 days, providing the corresponding amount of classes and activating your account for the following 28 days.
All class credits have a validity of one year from the moment they are added, but they require an active subscription to be used.
It is possible to pause the subscription once per billing cycle for up to 28 days, or cancel the subscription at any moment through your account to avoid further charges or receiving additional classes, especially if you currently do not have enough time to attend lessons.
Rest assured, cancelling the subscription does not delete your class credits. They remain saved on your account according to their 1-year validity, and you can access them again by activating a new subscription at a more suitable time. This is recommended if you wish to take a break that is longer than 28 days.
We are sorry to know that this situation has made you feel frustrated.
We also understand your concerns about the pricing and the availability of additional learning materials. Our Lingobites and Flashcards exercises are designed to reinforce what is learned in the classes, including listening and comprehension practice, but we understand that you would like to see more exercises beyond the lessons. We will make sure to forward your feedback to the responsible department to help improve the learning experience for all students.
Thank you again for your honest feedback,
Happy and proud with progress after 18 mths/250 classes
I signed up for Lingoda 18 months ago, after years of wanting to improve my French. I started with the regular Sprint and accepted the offer of more classes when I completed the Sprint, and I have been subscribed ever since, taking 2-4 classes a week. I like that the curriculum is pre-set and that I don't need to worry about what to study next because there are always more classes to take on interesting and relevant topics, while incorporating new vocab and grammar.
I enjoy meeting teachers and students from around the world, and the flexibility of booking classes at times that suit me.
I am happy and proud of the progress I've made. I would recommend Lingoda to anyone wanting to improve their language skills, especially speaking. I suggest reviewing the lesson ahead of time as recommended, as you'll get the most out of the lesson if you're prepared.
I've enjoyed this process so much that I am now also taking German classes.
BIG thanks to the staff, all the teachers, and the other students who make classes fun :)

What sets Lingoda apart from other Language Programs and Apps is the Live Classes
What I like about Lingoda is the live classes. It is great to learn with students from all over the world. The teachers have been great, enthusiastic and helpful. I have tried other apps that boast AI, but nothing beats talking with real people and getting real time feedback from real teachers. The class materials for review and follow-up are also helpful. Compared to other language apps and programs I have tried, Lingoda wins hands down.

Learned a lot so far
Learned a lot so far. Teachers are experienced competent professionals.
What I don’t love is the requirement of 72 hours to cancel a class because occasionally things come up. I think 48 hours is more than reasonable

We’re happy to hear that you’ve learned a lot so far and that you’ve had a good experience with our teachers.
We also understand that sometimes unexpected situations come up and a class may need to be cancelled. Currently, classes need to be cancelled 72 hours or more in advance, or within the 30-minute immediate cancel option, in order to receive the class credit back.
That said, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts about this, and we will make sure to forward your feedback to the responsible department for review.

Very positive experience
I recently started using Lingoda, and so far my experience has been very positive. The teachers are very kind and patient, and the learning materials are quite useful. What I appreciate the most, though, is the flexibility in choosing the class times. Since I work full-time, having that level of flexibility makes a big difference for me.

Lingoda is a well structured platform with a strong focus on speaking your target language
There are many fantastic teachers on Lingoda, who are patient and engaging, and who know the material and are prepared with additional resources. Unfortunately there are a small minority who are unprepared, seem to be uninterested, or who take on classes unsuited to their timezone.
The level testing is overly optimistic - it tests an understanding of grammar, rather than your speaking or listening skills. After a few initial classes in level B1 I chose to drop down to A2 and was much happier and more confident at that level.
It also helps to find units on topics that interest me, although the course structure is very well laid out and easy to follow. Concepts, vocabulary, and grammar topics are usually repeated across a unit or two, which is useful for reinforcing what you've learned.
Classes do often need to be booked well in advance, but this generally isn't a problem for me as I'm not doing a sprint. My timezone does seem to limit the available teachers.
Overall I'm really enjoying my Lingoda classes and have definitely made progress on my language learning journey.

We’re glad that being able to adjust your level helped you feel more confident, and we appreciate your recognition of our curriculum structure; reinforcing and revisiting concepts is exactly what it’s designed for.
As for lesson availability, we usually recommend booking classes at least 7 days in advance, as shorter notice can limit available hours and lessons.
