Language101.com Course Review – The Worst I’ve Ever Tried!
Language101.com Course
Summary
Language101 (not to be confused with LanguagePod101) is the worst course I’ve ever tried. The platform has ten different languages for you to choose from and focuses on teaching speaking and comprehension. Consequently, you likely won’t learn how to spell, write or translate the language, or even learn any of the grammar. I found the courses to be poorly designed — each ‘lesson’ is identical in form, and the fast-paced learning method seems inefficient; it is doubtful whether even beginners will learn much. To make matters worse, the price is obscenely expensive.
Easy enough to use, but I thought the content was severely lacking.
There are virtually no explanations at all. You just learn to parrot and memorize words and phrases.
Terrible value in my opinion. It honestly feels like a scam. Not worth using even if it were free.
I Like
- They provide you with a literal translation of the phrase you are asked to produce.
- Despite coming away thinking this is a terrible product (and it is), I liked being asked to produce words and phrases.
I Don’t Like
- I don’t agree with their ‘teaching’ method which basically asks you to produce words and phrases in a language you have never learned before as quickly as possible.
- The ‘courses’ are a muddled mess, I didn’t see any logical progression, and there is only one exercise for you to do ad infinitum until you lose your mind.
- It is insanely expensive. My god. It is insulting how much money they are charging for a product this terrible.
Price
Language101 has lots of different subscription plans for you to choose from. A one-time payment for access to all of its languages costs $727 or $97/month if you opt for the monthly installments option (that would end up working out at $1,164 if you chose the latter!!).
For ‘1 Package’ of the language of your choice it is then $227 for lifetime access or $527 if you want all 3 packages in a given language.
Alternatives: Literally anything else on the Internet (or in a bookstore) would be better!
