I signed up for a 7-day trial period with Rype in late December 2019. I signed up for several classes with two teachers. One of them repeatedly didn't show up for my classes. Within three days of signing up for the trial period, I went on the website to cancel my trial. I canceled the membership both via an email communication sent via Rype's website and via the "cancel membership" button on the billing page. I never booked a class since. I assumed that was the end of the matter. To my surprise, a few days later, Rype charged my credit card over $500! Their webpage states that they have a "no refund" policy. I filed a complaint with the BBB (which has a record of several other complaints regarding Rype's questionable billing practice). Be very careful with this company.

I have been impressed with the quality of the language coaches on Rype. I say "coaches" instead of tutors because this system is made for those who are motivated to learn a new language and can do some independent study. The coaches provide lots of resources and activities for you to practice. They are professional, yet approachable and friendly. I chose Rype because it is cheaper than many other options. Rype has been a convenient way to get one-on-one language lessons for my busy schedule. I like to have my sessions first thing in the morning. It's a great kick-off to the day and helps me feel like I've accomplished something before the start of the day. The language coaches live all over the world, which I actually prefer because I can book sessions outside of the usual 9-5 hours for my timezone. I am generally satisfied with Rype's customer service. I wish they had a phone number to call, but they are always very responsive to messages. The website itself is easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing. Rype is a great resource, I highly recommend it for motivated learners who don't need to be spoon fed. Be sure to shop around and find the coach who works best with your schedule and learning style.

A great service I started with Rype for Spanish in November 2016, so about 3 years. It is amazing as I have a class everyday for the 3 years, rarely taking a day off. It is very convenient as I can do it at home without having to travel to a class, so even though I have a hectic work life, I had been able to keep at it and not give up. It is the consistency that works for me. In addition, there are many teachers so you can always find one that jives with you and accomodate your hours. Some of the teachers become like friends as you do share a lot about your life. You then come to realize that people of all languages and culture are fundamentally similar. I will continue using Rype to learn other languages. There is no better way to learn a language than rype. But of course your success is also highly dependent on your dedication and motivation but the good thing about rype is you get personal one on one attention and go at the speed you prefer... it is all up to you. Overall, I highly recommend rype.

The problem with self-study language methods is that one is learning a language in a "sandbox". The situations and vocabulary used are a small subset of what one encounters in the real world. Having a human tutor takes one out of the sandbox and into the real world. Rype makes this affordable. Being subscription based is an incentive for me to schedule regular lessons and get my money's worth. Also, Rype has been responsive to any questions that I have or any problems with the subscription. It is also possible to "pause" the subscription if there are times when it is not possible to schedule lessons. Improvements? The descriptions of the instructors is very basic and consists of a short paragraph composed by the tutor. A standardized outline of credentials, methods used, and any familiarity with self-study methods (to ease the transition out of the sandbox) would be helpful when selecting a tutor.

I have been using Rype for over a year now & love the teachers I have worked with. One in particular Dasha, who teaches Russian, is wonderful. When I found her I stayed with her for a year now. She made learning Russian fun! The only reason I didn't give Rype 5 stars is because the website needs work. It gets stuck & is slow moving from page to page. Sometimes I have to log out & back in a few times to get it to work properly which can be frustrating when booking your classes. Other than that Rype is a great way to learn new languages from the comfort of your home!

I have been able to greatly improve my Chinese speaking with competent teachers thanks to the Rype platform. Their subscription-based system permits you to take classes multiple times per week and helps you to create healthy learning habits. Definitely worth the money if you are comited to improve your speaking skills in any language!

I think Rype is a great chance to learn any language with a teacher all over the world. It's quick and effective way to have lessons any time and any place, find your personal language coach who can create a learning outline for you and lead you through the maze of language to success. So, Rype is good for you if you're busy but want to start speaking English/German/French in a short time, prepare for exams or interview or develop your conversational skills.

Every day I speak Spanish for half an hour. That’s huge. Even while traveling in a Spanish-speaking country, I never had that much opportunity to practice. With Rype, I’m speaking with pleasant, professional teachers who have become my friends over the past year and a half. We have a connection, and that is something you can never get from a computer drill. People think they’ll learn by doing quizzes on a website! Such a bad idea, as the motivation will disappear fast. But I am very motivated! I am learning from human beings, in a human, natural way. I talk about my day, my plans, my travels, the party I went to, and every day my vocabulary increases because I’m motivated to express myself. Speaking one-on-one with teachers is the way to go. When I started Rype, I had university Spanish, but after 20 years, I could barely express myself. Now I actually speak Spanish, with confidence and speed, and I look forward to my appointments every day.
