Frequently asked questions
With Lingoda you will not have to worry about getting any extra material. Our online courses will offer you the chance to download and print out digital material that you will need to learn and practice the language. Once you have signed up for your beginner Spanish lessons, you’ll be able to download all the class material you’ll need free of charge. This material will help you study and prepare for the lessons during your free time outside of the classroom. At Lingoda, we strongly encourage our students to practice their newly acquired skills outside of the lessons as well with the extra material provided. After the class, you’ll also be able to find quizzes that will test you on the topics you studied during the lesson and help you keep track of your progress. All the material we provide has been created by experts following CEFR guidelines.
At the conclusion of your Spanish A1 level, you will be able to make your way around a Spanish speaking country, as well as understand touristic and leisure information, purchase food and beverages or go shopping. You will be able to learn how to introduce yourself and others, as well as ask and answer questions about your profession. Finally, you will be able to interact in a simple way with native speakers.
Lingoda is not a language learning application. At Lingoda we strongly enforce and believe in a live interaction. With our live and online courses, we can provide customised feedback to our students. These are essential factors needed when learning a new language. With a native-level teacher guiding you through your Spanish language learning journey, you’ll be able to ask questions and have any doubts resolved in real-time. Unlike a language learning application, during your life lessons, you’ll be able to interact with your classmates and teachers, as well as use your newly acquired Spanish skills.
There is no set time frame when it comes to improving a language. The length of time always depends on the student. Some of the factors that matter the most are whether you put enough effort and focus on the studies, as well as if you practise the newly acquired skills inside and outside of the class. Most of the students that progress through the language learning journey quicker are the ones that bring their learning outside of the classroom. Try reading a book in Spanish, follow a Spanish show in its original language, make friends with Spanish speakers and hold a conversation in their native language. These are some of the best practices which can help you improve quicker. However, Lingoda also offers intensive courses if you wish to learn the language in a shorter period.
Our exams follow theCEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) guidelines. The level of easiness or hardness of the exam is subjective to the student. If you choose to apply yourself during class and study the given material provided by Lingoda, you’ll be able to successfully pass the exam by the end of the course.
The teachers we provide at Lingoda are all native-level speakers with many years of experience. Since all our teachers go through a rigorous selection process, as well as a Lingoda method and standards training, you can rest assured that the quality of the education will be of great quality.
Once you have completed a language course, you’ll be presented with an official Lingoda language certificate which is issued following the CEFR criteria. This certificate will be given digitally, and it will be accepted in many institutions around the world. However, to receive the certificate you’ll need to have completed at least 90% of the course.
