Lingoda review

Lingoda is the most school-like option here. Its Spanish page describes live 60-minute online classes with certified, native-level teachers, in small groups of up to five students or one-to-one, following an in-house curriculum aligned to the CEFR from A1 to B2. Practice exercises between classes adapt to your progress, and AI-driven reports point to what to work on. Flex plans let you change how many classes you take every four weeks, while the Sprint course is a two-month challenge of 15 or 30 classes a month that pays back 50% if you follow all the rules. Lingoda says one level has 50 classes, so a class a day moves you up a level in just over seven weeks. A beginner can take a placement test of about five minutes and a 7-day trial with up to 3 group classes or 1 private class. Lingoda's pricing page showed euros from our location, so we list the price as pending.
