About Lingoda

Lingoda is an online language school based in Berlin that runs live video classes in English, German, French, Spanish and Business English, plus Italian at lower levels. Classes follow a CEFR-aligned curriculum from A1 upwards, with small groups or one-to-one lessons taught by certified, native-level teachers, and class materials and AI-powered self-study resources between sessions. Plans are monthly subscriptions with a set number of classes; unused credits roll over for a time, and you can pause or change plans. A free trial lets new students try a few group classes, and there is a short money-back window. It also offers corporate training. Compared with tutor marketplaces, the curriculum and teacher vetting are consistent, but language choice is narrow and scheduling depends on class availability. It runs on the web and in mobile apps. Lingoda suits learners who want structured, teacher-led classes and the discipline of a timetable.

Best for: Learners who want structured, teacher-led classes on a CEFR curriculum.
