I signed up for a 7-day trial on June 7th, and had such a great experience, that I immediately signed up for 8 sessions over 1 month and booked another session. There weren't many openings for teachers during my window of 5-10pm PST, but it was enough for my purposes, even for once a week. I favorited a few teachers and saved even more. After the 3rd session, I was unable to find any teachers during my availability - only 6 days after signing up! I asked Lingoculture support for help finding a teacher during my available hours and was told that teachers schedules were being revamped. The new schedule would be up after July 1st. I asked for a refund for my unused sessions, even if they charged me by the hour for the ones I'd taken, but was told they don't give refunds. I was told, however, that as long as I had a subscription my sessions would roll over to the next period. This was little help since if I can't get lessons when I need them, it seemed a bad idea to pay for MORE sessions that I couldn't use. I am incredibly disappointed in the lack of teacher availability during my evening hours over the past three weeks. I have only been able to book one class, and although I had paid for 8 classes to take while I was on a break during my school year, I was unable to take advantage of them to have consistent one-on-ones with teachers. I now have to teach full time summer courses and don't have time to take classes and put in the hours that I had set aside for this intensive summer refresher. Even when I requested to cancel, upon finding out that there would be no available classes for two weeks, I was told no refunds. I subscribed in good faith that the course availability would continue as I had seen for my first 10 days. Lingoculture did not notify me that there would be an upcoming change and left me hanging. The teachers were all fantastic, and if you can work around their session availability, go for it. But if you are looking for consistency, integrity, and good communication from the business, don't book here.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Lingoculture. I initially signed up because of an amazing teacher, Rayenne, who helped me understand the foundations of the language and motivated me to purchase a six-month subscription. When she left, I decided to give Lingoculture another chance and found another incredible teacher, Sabrine, who greatly improved my listening and speaking skills and inspired me to continue taking classes. Unfortunately, I have now learned that Sabrine’s contract will also not be renewed. This is the second time that one of my favorite teachers has left the platform. At this point, I feel that Lingoculture lacks consistency in retaining quality teachers. The teachers are the reason students stay and continue investing in their learning journey. In fact, I was planning to purchase more classes next month because of Sabrine. Because of these repeated experiences, I will not be renewing my subscription. I have recommended Lingoculture to several friends in the past, but sadly, I can no longer do so with confidence. The platform has great teachers, but if those teachers keep leaving, it becomes difficult for students to build trust and commit long-term. Losing excellent instructors ultimately means losing loyal customers as well.

A lot of teachers of good calibre were removed this June 2026 which I know is inevitable for their business. Unfortunately, this leaves us with lesser teachers and schedule to choose from. The timeslot which worked for me best is no longer available (6PM to 10PM PST). This is such a drastic change and totally opposite to the vision recently shared of hiring more teachers. I was very excited to go back from a month of pause but when I browsed the list of teachers, my recently favorited ones have been removed. Majority of those who are left are good with learning the language. The exam preparation is my concern now. We made a great progress last April and May. Come June, it’s a totally different platform already.

Lingoculture is an excellent platform! Their unlimited class system is an absolute game-changer. To date, I have completed over 500 hours of lessons. I started completely from scratch without using any other external resources—relying solely on Lingoculture—and I already feel like an advanced B1 speaker. Thanks to this platform, I can now watch TV series, listen to music, and speak French fluently. Of course, I still make occasional mistakes, but that is completely normal for a B1 level. The best part is that I have absolutely no fear of speaking with other people. My top recommendation for new students: There is a wide variety of teachers available on the platform. I highly suggest taking classes with several different tutors at the beginning. This allows you to experience different teaching styles and ultimately discover who you feel most comfortable learning with. Highly recommended!

Great teachers and availability! Truly this has made me fluent in the language

Significant price increase.

After six weeks I'm overall very pleased with my LingoCulture experience. The teacher quality has been good, with some being very good. Even the "worst" have offered lessons worth the time and money. A couple of minor critiques: i. I was a bit surprised to find teachers suddenly disappear. I realize there are lots of reasons for people to come and go, but I had some good teachers early on who suddenly disappeared from the list. I don't think they knew either: it was all "à la prochaine fois!" and then-- gone. I'm hoping the company treats its teachers well; most of them are certainly worth the price I'm paying. ii. The new missed lesson policy is a little concerning. I'm 100% fine with paying for lessons I have to miss without prior notice. But I sometimes have to miss for reasons (work emergencies) that I can't control and can't give advance notice of. The new policy seems to limit the number of times one can miss a lesson without advance notice. I'm not sure why; if I pay for the lesson and can't show up it seems like LingoCulture comes out o.k.
