LiveLingua is a good way to learn or practice Spanish with native speakers. You can block times with teachers and they will have a lesson for you, or you can just chat/take control of what you want to learn.

I am sure this teacher is knowledgable

I am sure this teacher is knowledgable, but he was not a good fit for me. He used very "canned" materials, and his feedback was minimal at best. After two sessions, he told me that his teaching schedule had changed, so all of the scheduled meetings had to be changed. We mutually concluded this was not a good fit for either of us.

Hi Fran, thanks for taking the time to send in your review. Sorry to hear the teacher who was initially assigned was no longer able to accommodate your scheduling needs. I see you have now been assigned a new teacher and I hope your future classes can be scheduled without any hindrance. Do contact our support team if you need any further assistance so we can help resolve any issues. Saludos

Best gift ever: Live Lingua language learning

My adult children got me started with Live Lingua when they gave me ten hours of lessons as a gift this past December. Two of them already had experience with LL and knew I'd been trying to teach myself Spanish for awhile using a combination of Duolingo and the Great Courses. Having a live tutor has made such a difference! Instead of my being simply a receptor for vocabulary and grammar lessons, I have interaction not just with a native speaker but with a highly qualified language teacher - Yasmin Flores. Yasmin is wonderful at combining language drills with homework and with explanations that make grammar comprehensible. She uses a multimedia approach of conversation, videos, workbooks, repetition and instruction that makes every lesson clear and helps things stick. The website for setting up classes is very user friendly and the "admin" folks are always responsive and happy to help. The materials provided are also tremendously helpful. I highly recommend this program of language learning.

I like the flexibility of LiveLingua, for me 30 min is the best time slot I can handle to learn languages. Maybe allowing for a 40 min slot could be an improvement but it's already good as it is.
I personally learn best with a focus on conversations and the one I had with Tamara were very interesting and I felt they helped me progress a lot. If it was possible I would focus the learning on a conversational approach...I never liked grammar XP

Hi Francesco, thanks for your amazing review. I will pass your comments on to your teacher now so that future classes can be more oriented to conversation. Regarding the 40-minute classes, we do offer 45-minute classes as classes can be scheduled in 15-minute increments. That might be a good option for you. If you need guidance on how to schedule a 45-minute class do drop our team an email on info@livelingua.com
Thanks for sharing!

Super flexible way to learn a language

I’ve been learning French with LiveLingua for a year now and am very happy with the experience. The pricing structure is competitive and is the most flexible learning platform I’ve found; I appreciate that I can schedule variable lesson lengths from 30min up to 2hrs and can vary the time or days which works well for me, as well as take a break for a while to suit my schedule.
My teacher, Noe, has taught me not only essential grammar and vocabulary but also introduced me to elements of French culture; as I am now living in a francophone country this is really useful. There is a good mix of written and listening homework to complement conversation in class.
My son has also recently started 1:1 classes too which he’s responded well to.
The LiveLingua website is user friendly and the support team have been really good, super fast responses and able to answer any questions.
I’d recommend this platform 🙂

Amazing experience

When I first signed up for live lingua, I stated my intention to travel to Argentina, and I needed to learn Spanish for that. They paired me up with a wonderful teacher from Argentina and I have had 6 classes since then they have all been very enjoyable. I can set my own pace with the tutor and ask for more help when I need them.

Live Lingua provides expert guidance

Live Lingua is a great way to learn a language and/or to improve on prior language lessons. Having taken lessons in high school, the focus was on verb construction and vocabulary. With Live Lingua's native language speaker and language expert, I can now work on pronouncing these words so I will be understood in another country. And most of the time my prior 'book learning-pronunciations were waaaaaaaaaaaay off!

Great teacher, mediocre company

My teacher Liliana is fantastic. Always well-prepared, identifying exactly what is best for us to work on next, friendly and welcoming in classes and really helping me with my knowledge. Five stars for her!

Live Lingua as a company is just a broker connecting students with teachers. I haven't seen any other benefits they bring. In an ideal world we wouldn't need this middleman but I acknowledge they paired me with a great teacher.

Apparently they're developing their own video meeting technology rather than simply paying for Zoom (or other established technology) licenses which seems like it'll be a big mistake.

There was a technology/billing error for my first classes where I got them cheaper than I should have, an error on Live Lingua's side. They were quite offensive and abrupt in resolving this, cancelling my classes rather than just waiting an hour or two for me to pay the extra $ I owed. I got a 10% discount after that

I enjoy the one-on-one experience

I have truly enjoyed using Live Lingua for my Korean learning this last couple of years. It allows me one-on-one learning with the full attention of the teacher. My teacher is able to tailor the lessons based on which areas I need work on and move quickly through areas I'm already comfortable with unlike a group class where we would need to stick to a particular pace in order to bring all students along. The one-on-one classes also give me plenty of opportunity to practice my speaking and listening since it's a direct conversation. My favorite thing is probably the flexibility. My teacher is able to work with me to find a mutually conducive time for classes that accommodates my full-time job and busy schedule. Looking forward to continuing to learn and improve.

Maria is a WONDERFUL teacher and I learn a lot from her . I love how she has Google docs so that I can go back and print out what we went over . That is very helpful . She also will give me instructions in Spanish and then English so I’m exposed to it . My new teachers Mr Gustavo and Ms. Itzel are very good too . They all use different teaching styles that I really like . Taking the unlimited has been very helpful because I try to take a class everyday to expose myself . It has been a great investment

Personalized Instruction

I have had a wonderful experience with LiveLingua and I highly recommend it.

I have worked with two professors and both of them customized my instruction to my learning goals at that time. I am currently working with Luis Manuel Gonzalez Garcia. He makes the sessions highly interesting. I am able to practice Spanish using engaging topics. Luis is a dedicated teacher and I appreciate all of the effort and preparation he has put into our lessons. I have felt my fluency develop during our sessions together. I know I could not have made this progress any other way.

Anyone can find the right teacher to help them meet their goals. The LiveLingua team will give you a choice of teachers based on your goals and schedule. If you want experience with a new teacher after working with one, they will help you by giving you updated choices. All of the teachers are highly qualified, so you cannot go wrong.

Aside from the teachers, I have had a wonderful experience with the administrative team of LiveLingua. Whenever I send an email, I get an almost immediate response. They are always helpful and professional. Their website is easy to navigate. I like their system of having the teachers give proficiency updates regularly. That lets me look back at the progress I have made.

LiveLingua provides a quality service at a very competitive price. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Spanish Language Instructor

I am a student of Spanish and have had instruction, both formal and informal off and on, over a long period of time. Recently I began studying again with the goal of improving my reading and speaking knowledge of the language. Happily, I encountered Live Lingua and Maestra Stefanie Chavez in particular.

Stefanie Chavez possesses a thorough understanding of the English language and its idiosyncrasies and the ability to teach the same in Spanish. In each session I’ve encountered both traditional and contemporary readings which lead to interesting discussions and a better understanding of the language. She is enthusiastic and patient and always upbeat. She is open to questions and interested in my input. I look forward to our sessions and furthering my understanding of the language, its history and the rich culture of its many speakers.

The classes are seamlessly managed by Live Lingua. -BF

Are you serious about learning a foreign language?

I have been learning Spanish for some time and have reached the Intermediate standard, but I wished to be able to converse with ease with native speakers on a range of subjects. I have worked with an excellent on line course and attend an adult course led by an excellent teacher, but it became clear that to advance significantly, I needed on-to-one tuition, which is expensive. I found Live Lingua, which seemed to offer an affordable solution. The first teacher, I was introduced to, although , doubtless very competent, was not the person for me. Live Lingua connected me then with Ivan Sanchez. We have had a series of really enjoyable conversations, which have given me greater confidence. I still have a way to go.
Next month, I will spend a week in Galicia, before moving to Elvas in Portugal, which is my second home. If you are serious about learning a language to a high standard, this is the way to do it.

Experience with Live Lingua so far

I have been with Live Lingua for the past 1 year, learning Spanish from an amazing teacher named Iván Sánchez-Gil.
The transaction with Live Lingua are all through a very interactive & user friendly website, and the experience so far has been very good & transparent.

My teacher Ivan Sanchez is a very qualified teacher. Apart from his expertise on the language, fantastic way of teaching, he is also extremely patient with a novice like me.

Being immersed in these speaking and listening sessions has dramatically improved my ability to converse in Spanish. My instructor has also helped prioritize and support the grammar, vocab and conjugation study I can complete on my own time. Then the individual tutor sessions are what i need to bring these book and writing skills up to the real-time pace of conversation.

Vamos al futuro!

My Live Lingua customer ID is 27604. Live Lingua has truly been a game changer for me when it comes to learning Spanish. I found the site after a Google search looking for online Spanish lessons that would teach me to speak Argentine Spanish as I was in a serious relationship with a woman from Argentina. In the beginning of our relationship, we were only able to speak English to each other and, thanks to the lessons with my instructor, I was able to start learning Spanish with next to no prior knowledge. Fast forward to now and we are happily married and able to communicate effectively in both Spanish and English. While we still primarily use English, I have been able to make rapid progress and I am to the point where I can understand most of what is said when speaking with in-laws and other Spanish speaking friends. Without Live Lingua, I fear I may have been stuck trying to teach myself from a book and failing to pick things up for much longer. With the simple to use website, I was able to find my instructor, take my first lesson, and start building my future using the worksheets and lesson plans my instructor personally crafted to help my fluency progress at the right speed for me. As for now, I'm looking forward to becoming truly fluent in Spanish and using Live Lingua to accomplish this goal.
