Great resource
Italki is a great resource for finding a teacher at any level or sometime to just practice with.
Italki rocks!
My learning experiente in Italki has been a very nice and rewarding journey. It is a solid language learning platform.
Great teachers and easy to use app
Great and easy way to find teachers willing to work with you on learning your new language. Highly recommended
Very good!
I really enjoy learning via italki. My teacher is very nice and I’m learning a lot.
It is always fun to talk to Julie
Julie is a great teacher, very patient and encourages me to do my best!
Best platform for learning
Real conversations, easy scheduling, lots of teachers to choose from. Best platform.
Worth the try!
Italki has so many quality language professors! I use them mainly for Spanish lessons but have used them for French in the past and I would most definitely recommend!
Italki is the best app for online language learning
I have been working with my teacher for the past eight months in preparation to retire to the Philippines. She has well-prepared lessons, is consistent, dependable and has a warm, caring personality. She has not only helped me learn the language but also understand cultural differences. I value her knowledge, flexibility and friendship!

Language learning on your terms
Love the method but does take a little getting use to but im old and sure tgats part of it! You have many options which is great.
Incredible way to learn
Always had great teachers on italki! Learning Spanish on Duolingo but really need to actually speak with people. It’s awesome and the new homework function is amazing!
Enjoy italki
I have enjoyed my lessons on italki. I appreciate the variety of teachers and times available and length and types of classes. I have sometimes experienced technical issues but that is the only downside.
Old interface was better
Update October 8, 2026:
Please bring back the simple UI and the old countdown clock until class. There’s too much stuff on the screen now and it’s distracting. Most of us serious learners want something simple and intuitive. This interface is not either of those.
I have been using italki for over 10 years before they even had an app. I’ve never had any issues with any of the updates(except when they took away to ability to message and communicate with other learners) until now. When I open it, the stupid AI chat seems to take up most of the screen and when I minimize it, it is still quite big. It’s more difficult to navigate overall. Not intuitive at all. I also don’t want to have to uncheck the “plus” option every time I search for tutors. The non-mobile version is also more complicated to navigate. Personally, I don’t like the new sidebar chat especially. I learn several languages as do many other italki users, in my opinion, we need more simplicity than extra stuff all over the screen. Please fix this :(
Update: after reading some other user experiences in the reviews, I really agree with bgima …the whole AI thing should just be separate. In the language learning community itself, especially with us older ones, it’s really unenjoyable to have AI popping up everywhere. Especially in an app that we come to for real human interaction by taking classes. I have stayed using italki mostly because of the non-subscription based, freedom of flexible scheduling. People who really enjoy language learning will do it anyways, they don’t necessarily need to tie into a subscription to be more motivated.
Update 2: I feel like every time I open the app, I find another inconvenience in the new interface and it’s very frustrating. I can’t seem to find the tutor reviews. I have not been able to see if I can find the tutor reviews on the non-mobile version yet. I also don’t like that when I check a tutor profile, the chat window in almost half the screen and it appears there’s some AI auto message from that tutor. All unnecessary clutter.
Please go back to the simple interface. This has really ruined my user experience.

Take your learning to the next level
One of the best decisions of my life was to joint the Italki community. The right teachers make the experience truly rewarding, not just in language but in hobbies and interests. The teaches didn’t just bring the language alive they share a part of a rich culture and experience
Italki
Italki is a great way to learn a language. It is the closet thing to immersion without moving to another country. All my instructors have been great ! Other than speaking to a native speaker in person, I can’t think of a better format to learn . I’d much rather speak to a real person than to an AI bot. Just sayin.

Greatest language learning I have ever used.
For all the languages that are less known and even the main ones. This is the best language app hands down.
Why is the size of this app ever increasing?
It’s hard to imagine you’re fixing bugs when the size of your app is always increasing. Are you adding new features?
Conversational classes
I really enjoy learning through Italki. It allows me to meet with Spanish speakers and have conversations regularly.
