Disappointed

Must say I’m massively disappointed, I be been using lingida as platform for over 2,5 years now. What I was expecting from the app is quick access to the video lesson ofc. Instead 5 minutes prior to class I discovered I need to use the web browser. Needles to say on the web browser I was suggested to use my laptop.. I still managed to use the browser on my phone, which was a far from friendly experience.

Love the app! It’s truly the best learning app. I was wondering why they took so long to make the app available and then it took a while for them to develop it to compete with other language learning apps and now it’s amazing! Truly the best and the new features makes learning more fun and convenient!

Nice courses

A lot of courses with vocabulary, grammar etc.

There is also the possibility to book group or 1on1 classes for each course

The best learning language method hands

There’s so many ads for apps and websites that promise to make you fluent. And they’re all pretty much just cutesy except Lingoda. I’m pretty obsessed with learning foreign languages as a hobby on my own. And through self study and many years I’ve become fluent in French and Italian. And I am working on my Japanese. And I can tell you hands-down that Lingoda is my number one recommendation to friends and family who also want to learn a foreign. Literally my only complaint about Lingoda is that I wish they had more languages, like Japanese, and higher level classes in Italian. So basically just that I want more!

Feels like scammy recently

The booking and pricing system they designed is to take advatage of teachers and students. All about money making. Hire a better CEO that cares about teaching and the people!!!

Cash grab

The platform started off great and I really loved it. But now every interaction I have feels like a cash grab or borderline scam. I have favorite teachers who I used to love taking classes from, but now they are allowed to cancel classes with zero notice leaving me with a teacher I don’t know and who honestly doesn’t care to teach me. I on the other hand am not allowed to cancel if this happens so I’m left with nothing to do.

Another issue is due to work I got behind on my classes a bit and have a big build up, i tried to pause my subscription, but in doing so I’m not allowed to take classes. The credits become completely unusable even though I have paid for them. Why not let me use them? Because it’s a cash grab.

The prices swing wildly as well. I noticed the price for my package is nearly half of what I’m paying. So new students get the new rate and old students get exploited, not a good way to treat loyalty, again cash grab.

They’ve also lowered teacher rates, so good teachers have just left completely, and those that stay cancel constantly (presumably when they have better opportunities elsewhere).

I can’t wait to finish using my credits and get out of this toxic predatory system.

Spanish Learning

I’m a big fan of Lingoda. I used Duolingo for a few years including the paid version. It was a good baseline, but having a program to iteratively work through and practice speaking has definitely advanced my learning and confidence. The teachers have all been really nice and helpful - I certainly have favorite ones. The lesson plans are good too, and progress at a good rate. Definitely happy with Lingoda having completely over 100 lessons now.

Wunderbar!

The lessons and resources are perfectly pitched for online, small group learning. The teachers are excellent.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hervorragende Sprachschule

Ich lerne bei Lingoda Deutsch und bereite mich auf meinen Beruf in der Pflege vor. Die Lehrkräfte sind sehr kompetent und freundlich. Der Unterricht ist gut strukturiert, interaktiv und macht Spaß. Ich habe mein Deutsch deutlich verbessert und fühle mich sicherer im Berufsalltag. Ich kann Lingoda jedem empfehlen, der Deutsch lernen oder seine Sprachkenntnisse für den Beruf verbessern möchte.

Great classes

Good plataform to learn online.

Lingoda has been great for me

I had strong classroom French and needed people to speak with to reach next levels. Lingoda’s system of teachers from all over the francophone world, following a standard structure, is ideal for me. I think the individual classes are the best value - they cost a bit more but they are significantly more impactful. Merci!

Best school out there

Excellent program, the professors are helpful. The class size is small. The materials for homework and Backup resources are outstanding

Lingoda is amazing!

Has opened my life to being able to Speak Spanish. No other apps or programs work for me. I need a real teacher, I need real feedback, I need to be able to answer questions.

good

zum Deutschlernen, wenn du Arbeiter bist und vom Arbeitgeber 50 Unterrichtsstunden erhältst

Brilliant programme

Highly recommended

They ask for money even if you have already paid!

I wanted to transfer my credits from one account to another (french to English).
They are telling me we can only transfer 35 out of 48 because of price difference!
While the classes have the same pricing.
Unbelievable! After 175 classes in lingoda, Im thinking about leaving this platform and continue somewhere more reasonable.

A great way to learn

The app is great and I’ve enjoyed the lessons with a wide variety of teachers

So many resources

There is so much supplemental material to use to prep for classes and review and practice so you can make best use of class time, work on pronunciation, and review. I have liked most teachers and loved like 10 of them, only had one or two I would avoid if possible. It's expensive and requires a lot of time outside the class to get the most out of it, but it's incredibly well put together and helpful, and organised in a way I find useful and interesting. I would never do a sprint, the flex plans are best for me.

Great for confidence

Love how flexible it is for people who are working. It’s built to allow you to speak more ans that’s the point. Learn by doing and become more confident even when making mistakes. Thanks for the initiative.

The best way to learn German

When learning a language, you need to practice both the passive parts (listening and reading) and the active parts (speaking and writing.) Lingoda allows you to do both by having real quality live sessions with instructors and also accompanying texts and vocabulary support. It is by far the best language learning approach. Even in the age of AI where it is easier now to practice the active parts of language, there is no replacement for human interaction. The Lingoda app is very well organized, full featured and easy to use.
