Living Language Online Course Review – Not Very Good
Living Language Online Course

Summary
Living Language provides numerous learning materials for multiple languages, including complete and essential courses that come with textbooks and CDs. They also have specialty courses covering business, travel, and several jobs. However, their standard online version isn’t very practical, and it’s difficult to tell if you’re actually learning or simply going through the motions. While the resource might be useful for those who want access to a large vocab list with grammar reading materials, there are better, cheaper options.
Though the information itself is useful, Living Language’s presentation reads more like a database than an educational/interactive tool.
Again, a lot of the information is there, but it’s scattered. Additionally, some of that information appears incorrect.
Cheaper options offer the same amount of content with more interactive features.
I Like
- You can hop around between levels and topics, including Beginner and Advanced materials.
- The subscription comes with a grammar guide, glossary, and forum access.
- There’s a decent variety of games, including some games I hadn’t played before.
I Don’t Like
- Although the games are fun, they get stale pretty quickly. It’s easy to guess at answers, thereby completing levels without really having learned.
- The system doesn’t keep track of your mistakes, so it’s hard to know what areas you need to improve in.
- I found several translation and presentation errors that made me question the rest of the material.
Price
An annual plan costs $150, and half a year costs $75. Three months is $50 and 1 month is $39.
