How a Lingoda lesson works

What you do
A live class with a teacher, in a small group or one to one, following a syllabus by CEFR level.
What comes back
A person: your tutor corrects you as you speak, live.
Not included
Nothing this list checks for is missing; check the course for your own language before paying.

How a lesson works in an online school

In an online school you buy a plan of lessons at the school's own price, book a time, and have a live video lesson with one of its teachers. Drawn to explain the kind of app, not taken from any app's screens.

Plans and prices

Every consumer plan on Lingoda's own pricing page or app-store listing, in US dollars unless marked. Per month is the plan price divided by its term. Each price is what the seller was charging on the day we checked it. When a plan was on sale, its regular price is shown under the sale price; a crossed-out figure that is only a comparison, such as a year at the monthly rate, is in the plan's note.
