I love Lingoda. I am a little over 50% finished with my A1.1. It is a very rewarding program. Thank you again for recommending this class.
I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing. -Jim
I want learning english,
I speak Spanish
I used to travel for my job, so this wasn’t for me. Now I lost my job. I’m getting paid unemployment, at home all the time. What’s my excuse now?
Love this! Thank you! Signing up for my sprint now🤩🤩🤩
That's great! Congrats! Please let me know how it goes for you. -Jim
how did it goooo???? was it worth it???
I finally bit the bullet and signed up! I’m doing French tho! Took a placement test and landed to A2 (self study). I’m hoping I could at least get to almost B2! Haha but maybe I’m aiming too high.
Awesome! Congrats on taking the leap! You got this. Please let us know how it goes. -Jim
comment ca se passe?
PLEASE, could you do like a tutorial of how to use Lingoda?
I know one can learn it, but i don´t really want to ruin it.
Thank you very much for your video.
By the way, i already logged in, but it appears i can do a class for the next 2 days, but the Super sprint start on July 1st. So my question is, if i did that class i would lose the challenge?
In that case i can program my first class for July 1st?
Thanks
Hi, Juan! A tutorial? I wrote a massive article about the Lingoda promotion. I think it might help some of your questions: spanishandgo.com/learn/lingoda-marathon-review
Please let me know if you still have questions. -Jim
@@SpanishandGo thank you so much
Hi! I was just wondering roughly how much progress you made during the time of the super sprint? I am currently A1 and wondered what level I'd get too roughly by the end of the sprint! thanks !
Hi, Leanne! Each level has a slightly different number of classes, so that depends. I went from C1 to C2 with the Marathon (now called Super Sprint) but the C1 and C2 levels had 75 classes each. So I finished C1 and started C2 with the one promotion. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching! -Jim
Hi! Is the money really paid back when we participate every day? Or is this a lie? Has anyone tried it? Can someone tell me?
I'm doing the half sprint now and I'm halfway there :) Really enjoy it! I wish they also offered Dutch which I'm also trying to learn.
Awesome! Please let me know how it goes. It would be nice if they offered more languages. I'm thinking about taking some German classes with them. -Jim
@@SpanishandGo I did the old full marathon last year and I won the refund. Very stressful but pays off
Glad to hear that! Congrats! Thanks for sharing. -Jim
Hi if you ever need someone to practice speaking Dutch with hit me up! My Instagram is Anne_marith
@@Eric-no2rh yayyy estudiaste español???
Can I take the classes any time of the year or is there a specific time or certain months to take the classes?
I am interested in taking English classes, because my English is not very fluent.
Hi Itzel - the Lingoda Sprint is a special promotion that only happens certain times of the year. You can take classes whenever you want within the dates the Lingoda establishes before each promotion. You can learn more here in my review of the Lingoda Sprint: spanishandgo.com/learn/lingoda-sprint-review Thanks for watching! -Jim
Can you do the sprint multiple times?
You can do it again in the same language if you previously entered but didn’t successfully complete the Sprint, and I believe you can do the Sprint again in a new language if you successfully completed it before. Please check with Lingoda though to make sure. Thanks for watching! -Jim
What video platform does lingoda use?
Zoom.
I really want to find these kind of online classes. I'm addicted to learn English. but I think one hour per day is not enough for me. Could I book more classes per day without paying extra fees? or does it offer yearly or monthly card for the learn who can take as much as they can?
also I wanna get my refund 😄，how stingy
I'm interested in taking the C2 in English. I heard they have English courses only up to C1, is that true?
Hi! I’m not sure about English because my Lingoda account is Spanish. You might want to reach out to Lingoda about this one. Thanks for watching! -Jim
@@SpanishandGo Thank you for your reply! Great video by the way :D
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching. Cheers! -Jim
Is there an age limit. I'm fifteen and I wondered if I'm allowed to participate
Good question. I’d check the rules on the Lingoda website if I were you. I’m honestly not sure. Thanks for watching! -Jim
There is this trick condition in the Lingoda Sprint Promotion Rules:
.
"42. a) Conditions for the refund in the Super Sprint: The Participant can attend a maximum of 1 class per day and must complete the class from start to finish (i.e. they cannot be late or leave the class earlier). ".
.
Pay attention to "they cannot leave the class earlier". Now, imagine you have just 5 minutes left in a class and your internet connection or your light goes out. What are you gonna do? You sure could try switching to 4G connection on your phone, but if you couldn't do that until the end of the class, Lingonda can assume that you left the class earlier.
.
What I'm saying here is: pay attention, have a light and internet backup. To be completely safe, take the classes from a notebook with a good battery using a very reliable internet access and a 4G connection at hand.
.
By the way, I'm thinking to enroll in the Super Sprint English, but I'm still afraid about the risks that are involved.
You’re right, and I do cover that in this extensive blog post and review video: spanishandgo.com/learn/lingoda-marathon-review
There, you can read my best tips for successfully completing the promotion. I hope that helps! Best of luck to you should you decide to enroll, and thanks for watching. -Jim
Is it possible to participate in this refund if you know that you will not have Internet/cell for a few days due to camping in a very rural location?
The sprint is actually 15 classes a month for 3 months, so as long as you get all 15 done within each 30-day time slot, it counts.
Yeah, you could possibly plan around camping trips with the regular Sprint (15 classes/mo). But Lingoda will not tolerate breaking the rules. If you miss a scheduled class, you’ll be disqualified. Make sure you read the rules before you sign up! Thanks for watching! -Jim
@@SpanishandGo Yeah, during the quarantine, I've had to work every third week, so I've been planning my classes during my off-weeks. That's also the reason I did the regular sprint rather than the super sprint; I didn't want to have to take a class after working a 12-hour shift.
@SunGalaxia Is there enough class availability to do evenings and weekends? I want to do the regular Sprint now, but with being a teacher my schedule will get crazy again in mid-August.
@@jenspickler5120 Oh yeah, they have classes every day at all times of day, because the teachers are in all different time zones. You can even take a class at 3am Saturday morning if you wanted! Class times vary a little week to week because of that, so you may have to allow a little flexibility in your schedule, but since there are so many options throughout the day, I haven't had any problem at all getting an appropriate class (for my level) at a workable time.
Do u have any tips on staying like intested in learning Spanish I'm 12 and I want to learn but I keep giving up
Find your reason for learning Spanish. If you have a desire to travel around the world, learning Spanish becomes easier because learning it will help you achieve that goal. There are many reasons to learn it. Find yours. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching! -Jim
Find a friend to practice with. I also set goals. I use duolingo for vocabulary and lingoda as a primary teaching source. You can do this. Set small goals like counting 1 to 30 and then 1 to 100 and and so on. Don't give up.
My tip for staying interested is to incorporate Spanish into your favorite hobbies. For example, if you love watching movies, watch some in Spanish. Or if you have a favorite book, read it in Spanish. Having a friend who wants to learn too is also a great motivator.

The spanish literature is simply amazing
I’m a little confused. Are these classes scheduled on a specific time everyday in order to attend?
Hi, Lito! Good question. You can schedule classes for anytime of the day or night, but I recommend you always schedule at least a week in advance. For example, I usually try to schedule my classes at 6pm. So each week or two I schedule 7-14 classes at a time for 6pm each day. Your classes don’t always have to take place at the same time each day though if you don’t want it to. You might want to check out our blog post about Lindgoda here: spanishandgo.com/learn/lingoda-marathon-review I hope that helps! -Jim
Spanish and Go Hi Jim, your blog was super helpful. For the record, I am new to your channel and loving it. Also, your Spanish is perfect 👌🏻
Here’s my story. I am of Puerto Rican decent born and raised in NYC. I do speak and understand Spanish and always looking to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation; however, I am not able to read or write in Spanish. My level is A1 beginner. Would you still recommend this course for someone like me? Currently, I am learning Italian and I feel guilty that I am reading and writing in this language but unable to do it in Spanish. I appreciate your opinion. Thank you!!!
@@litolito1893 how the heck can you speak spanish but not read it?
The pronunciation and the way to read is the simplest one!
@Lito Lito - sorry I'm just seeing your comment now. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel! If you already speak and understand Spanish, you might find some of the classes boring because you'll be with others who cannot speak in A1. Have you taken a placement test before? You might want to find a program that focuses on reading a writing more than speaking. Perhaps watching movies or shows on mute with Spanish subtitles could help you. You do get the opportunity to read out loud in Lingoda classes, but I'm just concerned that you might find the majority of the speaking portions boring and unproductive for your situation. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching! -Jim
Spanish and Go Thank you so much! I will try your suggestion. 🤙🏻
So if you miss just 5 minutes of just one of the 90 classes you'll have NO money back?
I wouldn't mess around with that much money at stake. If you can commit to 90 classes, I'm sure you can commit to being there the entire time. But if you're worried, then it might not be the right promotion for you. I give my best tips for winning the promotion here: spanishandgo.com/learn/lingoda-sprint-review -Jim
I'm doing Spanish at Lingoda at B2 level, and the C1 level doesn't even show. Like I have no option to change to higher level or view classes from that level. I mean, I don't need it *yet* but is it something that somehow unlocks after finishing B2 level?
Great question. I just sent a message to Lingoda about this. I’ll get back to you when I hear from them. I was able to do the C1 and C2 levels for when I did the promotion, but they might be changing things. -Jim
@@SpanishandGo Okay, thank you so much :)
So I just heard back from Lingoda. Unfortunately, they have decided to discontinue the C1 and C2 levels for the promotion because of low participation in those levels.
However, if you complete the promotion at a B1 or B2 level, you can continue higher levels but I think you’d have to pay for 1-on-1 classes at that point.
Most of my classes in the C1 and C2 levels have been practically empty aside from me and the teacher, so Lingoda probably realized they were losing money on people like me. 😅 I hope that helps! -Jim
@@SpanishandGo Oh no :( But is it available outside of the sprint promotion?
@@SpanishandGo oh geez
