The Lingoda Sprint starts soon!
Have you been putting off your language learning goals this year? What if you could get 2 months of intensive language learning at half price*, and come out the other side more confident and closer to fluency? Join the Sprint and you will make giant strides in your language learning!
*Attend all of your classes and you could earn 50% cashback or a credit refund for a higher value at the end.
The Lingoda Language Sprint is a time-limited programme where you commit to taking either 15 (Sprint) or 30 language lessons (Super Sprint) a month. At the end of the two months, if you’ve attended all your classes, you will receive either 50% of your class fees back or a class credit refund for a higher value.
You can learn English, Business English, French, German, and Spanish. Your attendance will be checked, and your refunds issued if you have attended all your classes.
Everyone needs a little help in the motivation department when it comes to learning a language, particularly sticking to it. The promise of getting your fees back will get you over those moments of reluctance when your class reminder pings. Consistency in your language lessons allows you to really build on your skills instead of spending half your class trying to remember vocab from two weeks ago.
You will also break down your inhibitions when it comes to speaking conversationally with more frequent lessons. After a couple of weeks of taking more lessons, I started attempting jokes in German – my teachers even laughed a couple of times so that’s progress! One of the real benefits of Lingoda is their native-level teachers. They help you understand how real people speak, instead of the stilted dialogue options you get from apps. This kind of immersive conversation time is so critical, particularly if you’re not living where your target language is spoken all around you.
Lingoda is a flexible yet effective way to learn a language. Classes are held only online via Zoom, with native-level teachers, at all times of the day. You choose which classes to take, and when, and you don’t need to commit to a specific class time every week. Suddenly have a free afternoon on Sunday? You can book a Lingoda class at short notice. Teachers are based all over the world, so there are classes at any time of the day or night. If your work schedule means your free time is at 10 p.m., there are classes that suit. If you can only do two mornings a week when your child is at preschool, there are classes that fit. You’re not committing to a weekly slot, so you can find a schedule that works for you.
Classes are on average only two to three students, with a maximum of five, so every class you will get direct and meaningful feedback. I know I tend to melt into the background in larger classes, but with these small Lingoda classes, there’s no hiding in the back. While it’s a bit scary at first, I found I made real progress because I was speaking more and getting more feedback. Soon, I was attempting to express more challenging concepts and found I was braver speaking with my neighbours and friends in my new language as well.
Make this sprint really feel like a new start, crack open a new notebook, and commit to your new language. Sign up for Lingoda Sprint and join over 40,000 people who have made real, tangible progress in their language learning.
