italki: изучай любой язы‪к‬ 4+

Learning languages has never felt accessible to me because private tutors are expensive, classes are expensive, and we all know duolingo doesn’t really cut it for actually speaking a language.
I’ve always heard that the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it, but traveling to other countries is expensive too!
Enter italki: an affordable platform where you get to connect with native speakers of many many languages and dialects (this is the only place I’ve found a tutor for Egyptian Arabic). You can watch videos from tutors introducing themselves to see if you think your tutor will be a good fit for your learning goals and common interests, and you can see their whole schedule. Italki seriously makes it so so easy. I can’t necessarily jump on a plane to Mexico or Egypt to immerse myself in a language, but italki feels pretty dang close. I’ve learned more, and more quickly, than ever before in my life. For the first time being fluent in another language feels possible!
I truly can’t recommend italki enough!
And some other online tutoring platforms seemed really sketchy, but I can confirm from years of usage that italki is straightforward and there are no hidden fees. 🖖🏼 Happy learning!!

Hello there,

Thank you so much for choosing italki to help you learning your target language with teachers that can meet your budget! We're very proud and honored to be part of your learning journey and thank you so much for taking some time in writing this long and very detailed review! Very much appreciated!

Have a great day!

5 star classes with great teachers. 2-3 star app which needs replacing. Nothing beats italki for learning a language online. No screen app - just the in person video classes from experienced native speakers or those with much training in the language, almost all of whom have teaching credentials of one kind or another - and who can work with you at any level, A1 beginner to C2 advanced. Plus, so many languages with teaches all over the world. That's the 5 star part. The 3 or 2 star part is the app itself. Just about everything on it is difficult to navigate, hard to find, and, in the case of calendaring, gives a completely insufficient amount of useful info. Please italki, contract a professional app developer and have your site completely modernized and rationalized. Sometimes I think using your app is harder than learning the dative case in German! Ok, well maybe in some more difficult language. No matter how rubbish the italki app, absolutely use the italki service if you really want to learn a foreign language and you're not in that particular country. It's available at many different prices and teacher levels. You really don't need a highly trained & expensive teacher at the beginning, but you will as you progress. But then you'll be committed in your mind to learning. There are many different teachers - so if not having success with one, try another!

Hello there! We're sorry to read that your in-app experience has not been very user-friendly and we appreciate the feedback provided! We'd like to know what kind of information would be more useful in the italki Calendar as well to better improve it and also about simplifying the italki, this is noted. If you'd like to give us a better understand on what we can do, please feel free to update your review or reach us out at support@italki.com, a proper and formal report will surely be opened. Thanks a lot for being part of italki!

I started using iTalki about 3 months after seriously studying Spanish independently. I have tried a good number of different tutors and have consistently used 2 in particular consistently for now over a year and I noticed a drastic improvement with my learning. I was able to gain more confidence with my speaking, help with my pronunciation, and improved my listening skills tremendously with my tutors. I have tried other Tutoring apps and have found that iTalki has a better overall quality of tutors. I like that you can choose between Professional Tutors and Community Tutors, as well as the different prices and packages, and can choose which time and dates work for your schedule. Most of my tutors on iTalki have been useful, efficient, prepared, nice, and most importantly patient. I highly recommend and can attest to it’s effectiveness.

I plan to continue booking with my Spanish tutors to further improve my abilities, and will also use it to find tutors for Tagalog.

Hello there, thank you for trusting italki to be your main supporting tool for your language journey! Happy to be part of your journey! Thanks!
