It is a bit unclear what the ordered items consists of (books, PDF, CD), and using CD is becoming a bit old fashioned. But the downloaded and the online materials are well suited for learning a new... See more

Fun learning experience

I have a 30 minute commute into work each day and this is an ideal time to learn some Danish on the way. The Danish online grammar lessons and PDF Grammar Downloads are a fairly fun method for learning.

Thanks so much for this well written review. You bought the Danish-English version. We've also sent you now the Danish-German version based on your location. Good luck with your Danish learning.

Ukrainian PDF workbook.

I was looking for a simplified introduction to Ukrainian grammar. Most sources I have found are too basic and don't provide enough context or assume you are familiar with the technical side of learning a language. This was a nice middle ground. Got 2 versions, one with Latin letters and one with Cyrillic. Had to wait a bit for a download code, but did end up getting my files.

Bought course

Bought course, did not receive link for downloading. Paid using PayPal. They took the money and never sent link. Beware

Further on this there is no way to contact this company other than a simple message system. They only responded after giving a poor review. Want me to pay for support services on a 30 buck purchase too funny
Beware

You ordered the Cree grammar and the Cree PDF workbook for a total of $19.80.

www.linguashop.com/course/order-page.php?language=cree,cree&item_id=11,8&lang_id=en

Right after your order, both courses were sent to the email address you had stored in PayPal. You wrote to us and we answered back right away with this mail:

"Tom, Greetings to you. Please check your gmail spam folder. The workbook should be there."

This morning you wrote us an email telling us that the address you had in PayPal was wrong. It's really cool that you admitted you made an error. What's not cool is you giving us a 1 star review because of your own error.

You can now go to the help page on linguashop.com, buy support and we will gladly have the error you made corrected in our system so that you can download the files again to your corrected email address.

I WAS interested in learning Dioula, but.......

I was interested in learning Dioula, and the LinguaShop offered free workbook exercises if we give a review on why we're interested in learning our language of interest. It's a TOTAL FRAUD. All they want is a bunch of good reviews because they never truly give you the workbook. It's FRAUD. Don't do it. ***Update: I don't care what their reply says. I don't HAVE to have purchased anything. There is NO free workbook. I've tried over and over and I've inquired of them and NOTHING. They're not being honest.

From a teacher point of view

I am a Croatian online teacher and I find this grammar textbook very useful in my teaching process. It is simple, informative, easy to understand, memorize and practice. My students are happy with the explanations and examples provided. With this book teachers are more confident, while students are highly motivated and encouraged.

I like it

I like it. I'm planning a short stay in Malta so I thought I'd learn a bit of Maltese. I have the Maltese MP3 audio course. The audio files help with the correct pronunciation. I am happy with this Maltese course.

Disappointed, annoyed, and confused

I was so excited to have found a Mapudungun / Mapuche course today in English, it has been something I have been on the hunt for for a while. I had first looked at getting the "TeachMe! Mapuche" package. I click "Add to cart", which takes me to a download page (which is strange! Why not a cart page? It has the price listed on the language's page!). So I downloaded the software and as I scrolled through the list of offered languages on the application, Mapudungun was not there. There was nothing between Manx and Mongolian, where Mapuche should be.

So I go back to the website to get some support. Only to find that the support desk is only suited to autogenerated issues. And to get custom support I would have to pay 8 euro (~12.36AUD including PayPal's conversion rate). So I opened that up in another tab considering to use it later if it came to it. I was getting a little annoyed by this point. So I scrolled through the list of content offered for Mapudungun and tested if other things can be added to the cart (I added "PDF Workbook in Mapuche" and "Mapuche grammar" to the cart). I gave up and decided to just buy the help in the tab I had kept open. But as I payed for it, it payed for the two things in the cart AND NOT the help. I am... not impressed with the Workbook, 4 PDFs, 10 pages each. Only going over pronouns, basic pleasantries, articles, the copula, and demonstratives, not enough to be productive and useful. And when I try to click on the download link for the grammar, it takes me to LinguaShop's website but in Hungarian. I honestly don't even feel comfortable trying to get the support you have to pay for, out of worry this is going to happen again. And I don't at all feel comfortable having to spend a total of $24.70AUD just to be able to get access to the product I initially wanted, that being "TeachMe! Mapuche", which is seemingly unavailable unless you want to fork over the extra cash, which mind you, is over 1/5 of the price of this product.

In the end, the automatic support is poor. The quality of the unintentionally brought products was less than I expected. I was unable to get the support I needed despite paying the amount for it. I am sorry if this comes across as harsh, but after spending nearing 90 minutes trying to figure this out, I am beginning to feel quite annoyed. especially after seeing so many positive reviews about this site. And I am sure you know how it is when something you have been looking forward to finding just... isn't it.
