Lingodeer may not be as well known as other language learning apps, but it’s actually better and cheaper than most of them. You’ll practice the language by completing lots of different types of exercises. They also include plenty of grammar explanations and opportunities to review what you’ve studied. All in all, it’s one of the better options for getting started learning a language.
It has a great design and everything works well with only a few minor issues.
Not as thorough as some other courses but it’s good for what it is.
Quite a bit of content is free and the premium plan is very affordable.
$14.99/mo, $39.99 for 3 months, $150.99 for a year. There’s also a lifetime option for $299.99. You may also occasionally find sales, such as the yearly rate dropping by 50% to $79.99.

Transparent Language markets itself as “the most complete language-learning system for independent learners.” While there are lots of different exercises for you to work through in their Essentials Course, I thought that the material wasn’t all that helpful and that it got very repetitive. Although the courses might not be all that useful or in-depth, with over a hundred languages on offer it might be worth checking out if you want to learn the very basics of a more obscure language such as Buriat, Kazakh or Turkmen.
While the exercises are for the most part well-designed, diverse and easy to use, it is the core material itself that I found lacking.
I hardly came across any explanations at all; practice was almost exclusively memorizing words and phrases.
I would only consider using if I was studying a very rare language.
There is a free two-week trial period for you to try it out. Otherwise, it is $24.95 per month or $149.95 for a whole year if you just select one language. If you want access to all of the languages it is then $49.95 per month and $249.95 a year.
Italy Made Easy offers incredibly comprehensive Italian courses. Currently, there are four courses available for those at the beginner to intermediate levels. The courses include lots of video lessons, with assignments, quizzes, exercises, and other features to make sure you’re able to actually use the Italian you’ve learned. They’re easily the most thorough Italian courses available.
It’s a very easy to use and well-structured platform. You’ll get great tips and practice opportunities for all the main language skills.
Everything is explained thoroughly, occasionally to a fault. The theory is complemented by plenty of exercises that ensure you’re learning the material.
While the courses certainly aren’t cheap, they contain everything you’d need.
For 6 months it is $200 but for better value a year is $350.
One thing I’ve found from trying out tons of online language courses is that my favorite courses aren’t typically made by a huge corporation. Instead, they’re often made by a single person who has lots of experience teaching the language.

The Language Transfer’s courses approach language learning with what has been coined as “The Thinking Method’. These audio courses serve as a great introduction to the nine languages currently available. They go into lots of depth on how each language works, teaching you all of the main grammar points and giving you the tools needed to learn independently and intuitively. For beginners looking to learn a language, these free courses are an effective and efficient way to start your journey.
Might look a bit basic but the content is very well designed.
The courses don’t follow the traditional learning path but have a lot of depth.
It’s completely free and better than most paid resources.
Completely free, but if you find the courses to be useful, consider making a donation.

JapanesePod101 has thousands of lessons going back over a decade. It’s best used as a supplemental resource to improve your listening comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary. I wouldn’t advise trying to use it as a standalone course because the lessons don’t always follow a clear and suitable path. While very much imperfect, it’s a useful resource and available at an affordable price.
Some lessons are great and others leave a lot to be desired.
A lot of content but it’s not always structured well.
One of the more affordable tools around.
There are three subscription plans with lengths available from 1 month to 2 years, with many options in between.
Basic – $4/month with Premium $10/month and Premium Plus – $23/month.
Use the coupon code “ALLLANGUAGERESOURCES” to save 25% on a subscription.
JapanesePod101 is one of the better ways to learn Japanese. They have thousands of lessons, from the absolute beginner level, up to an advanced level.

For the most part, I like Babbel’s courses. They teach languages in a straightforward manner that’s a bit more comprehensive than popular free alternatives, such as Duolingo or Memrise.

GermanPod101 offers a large number of audio and video lessons for German learners that has been added over many years. There isn’t a clear structure where lessons build upon each other, instead they’re grouped by difficulty level and into pathways.
Useful information presented in a podcast manner, and the recent updates have improved the offering a lot.
Not much material for non-beginners, but for other learners it has many good stuff.
As a supplemental program, the price is OK.
There are many plans available from one month to two years, with prices lowering the longer you subscribe. One month plans cost $4 for Basic, $10 for Premium, and $23 for Premium Plus.
After trying GermanPod101, I definitely wouldn’t recommend paying for a premium subscription. It was a really disappointing experience. <– In the recent updates, the contents have gotten much better (edit in October 2023). We will update our review soon to reflect this knowledge.
