Lingoda HONEST review, discount code May-June 2026 &tips

What I actually learned from using Lingoda for the last years and made the best out of it, it is a really cool and fun way to learn 24/7 a new language with up to maximum 5 students in class ( but also the private 1-1 classes are top use of time).

Lingoda has English, Business English, Spanish, German and Italian as well.

If you just want to try it out, you can use my link  https://www.l16sh94jd.com/BK76FN/55M6S/?__efq=Jra9uagPp9Rnev2_qdXL1-9wpMHMUeNa1qll772BMvA to get 40%off use „MAYSALE40”

MADALINA20 for 20% off in case it doesn‘t work.

“TAM20”and „JADE20“ for 20€ off on any plan (for the lowest plan this is better than above ones)

Here’s the stuff I wish I knew when I started:

  1. Save your credits. Do not book the "Orientation" class. It’s a waste of a credit because they just show you how the buttons work. DM me and I’ll just tell you what happens in it so you can use that credit for an actual lesson.
  2. The morning hack. Try to book your classes as early as humanly possible. Most people aren't awake yet, so you often end up being the only person in the class. You basically get a 1-on-1 private lesson for the group price.
  3. Follow the good teachers. Once you find a teacher you actually like, go to their specific profile and book from their board. It makes a massive difference for your motivation. For German, Agnieszka, Ozlem, Julia, and Branislav are some of the best I've found.
  4. Don't jump around. Try to stay chronological. The jump between chapters is actually pretty steep, and if you skip ahead, you're going to feel lost.
  5. Focus on the grammar. You only need 45 out of 50 classes for the certificate. If you're short on time, skip the communication filler classes, but never skip the grammar ones. They're the most important part of the curriculum.

Cost stuff I’m pretty cheap, so I always dig for monthly discounts. I usually get the price down to 6 or 7 eur per class by using 20-30% off codes on the bigger plans. It ends up being way cheaper than any local school in my country.

Also, a warning on the Sprint: it’s only worth it if you are 100% sure you can make it every single day. If you have a life or a job that gets in the way, you’ll probably lose the refund and end up disappointed. The regular monthly plans are much safer.

! What to pay attention to:

  1. Payments happen automatically every 28 days!!
  2. The discount code might work again if you change plan size.
  3. It is important to have good internet connection and an alarm on your phone to not miss classes.

You can write to me for questions, I would gladly offer even a demo from my German account.

Best of luck with language learning!

Free korean learning

If Korean is one of the languages you’re learning, I made a free Korean learning website called HelloKorean. You can learn Hangul, vocabulary, and practice through simple activities. It’s completely free and no payment is required.

I built a Spanish vocabulary app to make daily practice easier – I'd love your feedback!

[I built a Spanish vocabulary app to make daily practice easier – I'd love your feedback!](https://www.reddit.com/r/alphaandbetausers/comments/1ve5qhe/i\_built\_a\_spanish\_vocabulary\_app\_to\_make\_daily/)

Hi everyone!

I've been learning Spanish for a while, and I always felt that most vocabulary apps were either too repetitive or too overwhelming.

So I decided to build my own app.

Some features include:

* 📚 Organized vocabulary by level and topic
* 🔊 Native pronunciation
* 📝 Example sentences
* ❤️ Save favorite words for review
* 📈 Track your learning progress

I'm still actively improving it, so I'd really appreciate any feedback from Spanish learners.

What features do you think are missing in most vocabulary apps?

If you'd like to try it, here's the link: (App)

Thank you! 😊

Language learning websites recommendations ?

As said in the title, I'm looking for websites to learn/practice the languages I'm learning since I'm stuck in an office and it oftentimes gets boring from having no new tasks and I need . I'd prefer a simple website and not an app as the laptop I got is not mine (work laptop).

What less common languages have you studied?

Much of the day to day discussion around language learning tends to focus on a relatively small number of popular, well-resourced languages.

Have you ever studied a less commonly studied language?

How did you encounter the language, and what made you want to learn it?

Any unique challenges that made it particularly difficult (or interesting)?

Advice please !

I’m an English speaker and have no experience learning a language. I want to learn Spanish and want to know where’s the best place to start. Does anyone have any resources they would recommend. I’d like to be a confident speaker during my travels, thank you in advance.

UniDict (EN・繁・简・日・한) - Search 1 Learn 5 - Free

Hi everyone! 👋

I’d like to share an app I’ve been developing called UniDict (EN・繁・简・日・한).

Google Play  /  App Store

UniDict is a free offline dictionary and language-learning app for English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

🔤 What makes it different?

You don't need to select the input or translation language. Just enter a word or phrase, and UniDict automatically searches and displays translations in all five languages at once.

For example:

你好 → Hi / 嗨 / 你好 / こんにちは / 안녕

You can also search using romanization. For example:

watashi →  I 我 私; 僕; 俺 나; 저 

This is especially convenient for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean because you can search even if you don't know how to type the native characters.

📚 Learning Mode

UniDict also includes a Learning Mode that randomly plays vocabulary based on CEFR levels (A1–C2).

You can also choose to study only words you've previously saved.

🎮 Game Mode

There are four types of vocabulary games:

  • Multiple Choice
  • Unscramble the Letters
  • Spell It
  • Speak It

You can choose the difficulty level, and each question is played aloud in the selected languages. You can replay the pronunciation, long-press an answer for a hint, or skip a question.

⚙️ Other features

  • 🔊 Tap translations to hear pronunciation and 📋 copy words to clipboard
  • ❤️ Save words to favorites
  • 🔤 Optional romanization display
  • 🔠 Adjustable text size
  • 🌐 Select which languages to display
  • 🔊 Voice playback settings
  • 🗑️ Delete history and saved data
  • 📱 Works completely offline

💡 Why did I make it?

I often encounter English, Traditional/Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean in my daily life. Whenever I used a traditional dictionary, I found it annoying to repeatedly select the input language and translation language.

I also wanted to see all the languages at the same time, use romanization to search, and have a way to randomly play vocabulary continuously for learning.

So I decided to build my own dictionary app.

It's still an ongoing project, and I'm currently also developing a version supporting English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German.

If you have any suggestions or feedback, I'd really appreciate hearing them!

Thanks for checking out UniDict and supporting the project! 🙏

Any advice on not giving up on learning languages?

I often try to learn and then forget about it and end up not studying for a long time, but I want to actually learn my target languages, so I'm asking you guys.

My target languages are Japanese because I've always wanted to learn it, and Italian for my girlfriend who lives in Italy.

I have ADHD too, I think that's why I can't focus on doing this for very long.

How can I really move from B1/B2 to C2 (reach fluency) level fast?

I see a lot of videos on YouTube where people say you can become fluent in 6 months, 12 months, just by watching videos you like, by doing things you like, in a lazy way. I‘m starting to cast doubt on that, because when learning a language you can’t just do things you like, like anything in life. You have to do the hard and dull work as well. It takes time. You can’t just learn as if it was your native language, because we often know less in our native language, and speak it incorrectly. I‘m suspecting these people are not really fluent and proficient.

I also feel like other people have a weaker and lower vision of fluency. I‘m French, and here being fluent (« parler couramment / etre bilingue »), means speaking it almost like your mother tongue, you don’t just get by, or can converse with a few mistakes, no, you have to make almost no mistakes, and be accurate.

My goal is to understand almost everything I watch or hear, read, be able to speak naturally, confidently, and fluently, almost like i do in French. Which C level do I need for that (C1 or C2) ? And how can I reach this level from B1/B2 realistically? What resources, what methods do I need to use, what do I need to learn ?

I am feeling a bit confused. Do I still need to learn English in the age of AI?

I've always wanted to learn English properly so I could have a better quality of life in the United States. But over the last two years, AI has gotten so powerful. I can use it to understand anything. When I go to the bank or the hospital, real-time AI translation gives me the feeling that I'm walking around with a personal, paid translator right by my side.

A couple of days ago, I watched a movie called Project Hail Mary. When I saw Grace (human) using technology to communicate directly with Rocky (alien), I completely broke down and felt so confused. What is the point of learning English anymore? Does anyone else feel the same way or share this confusion? Feel free to share.

Help learning Italian

Hello, I’m 17 years old from UK. I’ve been using Duolingo to help me learn Italian for a month now, I know it will take time to practice and learn but I’ve been hearing some bad things about Duolingo. I do not have the money to pay for max nor any other app, YouTube hasn’t been very helpful either. I like to take bits by bits with learning new things. I was wondering if there is any different ways of learning Italian that doesn’t involve paying for an app.
Are there any books that could potentially help?
Should i continue with Duolingo till I’ve completed it and start to watch shows in Italian?

Review of the 4/3/2 Rule Strategy for building fluency.

Hey 👋, for building fluency,i fall on a technique called 4/3/2.

what is this exactly? The idea is simple, choose one topic and do 3 round of 4min-3min-2min talking the same things.

  1. 4 MINUTES

Choose a familiar topic, such as “My daily routine.” Speak about it for four minutes. Hesitations and pauses are normal.
2. 3 MINUTES

Tell the same story again, but now you have only three minutes. Since you've already activated the vocabulary and ideas, retrieval becomes easier.
3. 2 MINUTES

Tell the same story one final time in two minutes. The shorter time pushes you to retrieve words faster and reduce unnecessary pauses.
WHY THE SAME TOPIC?

4/3/2 is mainly about fluency, not learning new vocabulary or grammar. You're training your ability to access language you already know.
THINKING → SEARCHING → SPEAKING

becomes

RETRIEVING → SPEAKING
DON'T CHANGE THE TOPIC
❌ 4 min: My family → 3 min: My hobbies → 2 min: My job
✅ 4 min: My family → 3 min: My family → 2 min: My family
The repetition is the mechanism.
GOOD TOPICS

My family • My hometown • My daily routine • My favorite food • What I did yesterday • Why I'm learning Spanish
Avoid topics that require difficult ideas or research. The easier the topic, the more you can focus on speaking fluently.
FOR BEGINNERS

If 4/3/2 feels too difficult, start with:
3 → 2 → 1½ minutes
Same topic. Repeated speaking. Less time. More fluent retrieval

cheers,
