Online English

My wife is taking one-on-one English lessons online with Lingoda. Before Lingoda we tried Preply, but left it because the first teacher disappeared before the first lesson, the seond teacher first postponed, then cancelled the lesson without explanation. With Lingoda, my wife has taken 11 lessons up to now and we did not have such problems. I think the reason Lingoda is more reliable is that its focus is on curriculum rather than a particular tutor. And of course, it being a German company helps too(!) You choose a topic and lecture time, Lingoda assigns a teacher.

Lingoda has supplementary materials for each lesson for you to prepare in advance. After the lesson, the teacher writes a short summary about what you did well and where you can improve. Other teachers can see these summaries and have an idea about what you need. You also get a quiz.

My wife studies grammar on her own, watches movies with English subtitles to see her gaps in English and uses Lingoda to fill them. The teachers accomodate the lessons according to her needs. She also uses Duolingo.

Lingoda is active in the YouTube language community. The first time I heard about them was through Deutsch mit Marja. We highly recommend Lingoda.
