Thanks Laurnie for some very helpful reviews! I watched your reviews before and now as of mid-July 2022 I'm a week into my Spanish A1.1 Super Sprint and I'm really enjoying it but it's not without a bit of pressure. And this Super Sprint is only 60 days, easier to envision and endure than 90 days. After I signed up for the first 30 classes I downloaded 50+ lesson PDFs and started reading them. Based on the printed lessons I thought: this is too easy, I should reschedule into more advanced classes. WRONG! There's a huge difference between reading a list of words and listening and speaking in a class conducted almost entirely in a target language. Time to work harder!

I'm so glad you've found my reviews helpful, and that you're enjoying the super sprint! It's definitely a great experience--at least once! And you're absolutely right--it's pretty amazing how different it is being in a class, listening to people speaking in real time. (Plus hearing all the different accents of the teacher/your classmates.) Keep up the amazing work! And feel free to let me know how you're feeling after the full 60 days!

Hi I enjoyed your review. Do you mind sharing the name of your teacher from Quebec with me? Also when will you update us on how it was overall

Hello fellow language learners, I’d just like to share a word of caution with Lingoda. Firstly, I think the teachers are great and it’s a good system. That’s why it’s such a shame how their customer service operates, and especially how sneaky they are with their ‘Sprint’ programme. I am (soon to be was) an existing student on a subscription for 12 credits per month (equal to 12 classes per month). I thought the Sprint programme was a good way to speed up the learning process but also I was dangled the carrot of the possibility of getting my cash back if I completed it successfully. What a great initiative, I thought. So on 27 June, I signed up for the Sprint starting on 11 July. I worked hard and made sacrifices during the Sprint to happily say at the end of the 2 months I completed everything successfully. They take a while to get back to you on your results - but after nearly 3 months, I got an email saying ‘sorry you were in breach of the rules and therefore will not receive your refund’. Customer service said I was in breach of this rule: “The Customer shall be disqualified from the Cashback if the customer uses a Credit for a class that takes place before the Start Date”. They said that yes I had completed the number of classes required in the period but I since I had taken classes between 27 June and 11 July I breached the rules. I of course wrote back and said, I was an existing student and therefore had credits I had paid for relating to the previous period and that I didn’t use any credits relating to the sprint - and they said no, you may not use credits relating to ANY period, even if you paid for the previous month. I said, so I’m supposed to stop taking classes for 2 weeks even though I’ve paid for them? And they said yes. I argued back and fourth saying every and all existing students would be disqualified if that was the case - and they said yes that’s the case. Ridiculous. Once again I’ll say I’ve had a good experience with the teachers and I have made progress in learning German. It’s just such a shame that the company itself wants to bite the hand that feeds them from their student subscribers. In summary - I’d steer clear of Lingoda, but if you are an existing student, stay away from the Sprint programme, it’s just a means of squeezing more money out of a loyal customer.

Totally agree! I never did a follow-up video because I was too angry at the time about their customer service, but just wanted to underscore how true all of your comment is!

Thank you for making these videos and sharing this sorts of information. It’s made me realise lingcod’s is not a company I could use. My tech is not reliable enough so that would absolutely count me out. That shady marketing behaviour would leave a really bad taste before even starting.

Very informative, thank you so much!! I just have one question left unanswered: Is there a possibility to take a test and get a certificate of what language level one has reached?

My pleasure! So happy to help. As far as I know, the only language where you can take a test/get a certificate at the end is English, but I could be wrong about that!

Having to adhere to the rules and regs of the sprint is way too stressful for me but I do enjoy the regular lingoda classes just as a boring 3 a week normie.

Great video! I was looking into doing the Lingoda sprint this summer for either Spanish or German as I didn’t get to go on two of my study abroad placements which would usually be a compulsory part of languages degrees here in the UK. I never ended up doing it in the end because of what you said about paying a big sum of money at the beginning and being a student I just didn’t have that laying around. I accepted I would have to pay some money upfront just didn’t realise how much as nobody seems to ever mention the cost just that you get your money back. I probs could have done it but was like what if I can’t attend a class and then don’t get it all back? Or what if I have to wait ages to get the money back? It sounds like it is really worth the money though.

Thanks so much! Yeah, I definitely learned a TON during the sprint, but would I ever do it again?? Probably not haha. I hope you were still able to find a way to practice your languages though!! My German is soo rusty, but you mentioning it makes me want to bring it back! Good luck with everything!
