I just finished A1 norskkurs and currently taking A2 (Fast-track). The instructors for both the regular (Kari, Milan, Saira) and structured classes (Nora, Siri) are friendly and accommodating -- which gave me enough courage to speak and practice more (especially in the Breakout Rooms). The customer service staff (especially Gagan) are also very helpful (and patient) with all my concerns and questions. I am very happy with experience with Lingu so far. And I intend to take more courses in the future.

Excellent course to help integrate into Norwegian society.
Some of the course material needs to be updated though. Some videos have too much background noise, so if that can be corrected, it would be great.
Once we finish a chapter, a new attempt wipes the previous hours away. That is unfortunate, because since the course is online it is natural for one to revisit content. That ability for revision is missing. Great if it can added. Like the language courses.

My experience has been really positive

My experience has been really positive! I have extremely tights schedules due to my job and Lingu perfectly fit with my need and the teacher I have is amazing! In my case, I chose on-line private lessons.
