Chatterbug Review: Self-Study + 1-1 Classes – Does It Work?
Chatterbug
Summary
Chatterbug is a language learning platform designed with the aim of bringing together the convenience of digital learning apps and the value of one-on-one speaking practice. It was founded in 2016 and currently offers courses in German, Spanish, and French. Some of its features are available on iOS and Android; the full version is available for desktop.
The Live Lessons are great, but the other practice activities are somewhat limited and the interface isn’t very intuitive.
The Live Lessons provide quality practice, and there are good grammar explanations, but reading and writing practice are limited.
It isn’t super cheap, but the Casual and Serious plans could be worth it if you like the platform.
I Like
- The Live Lessons are engaging and structured.
- Scheduling Live Lessons is super easy and flexible.
I Don’t Like
- The interface is cluttered on desktop.
- The reading and writing practices are limited.
- There were errors in the reading material.

The price of the recurring monthly subscription varies according to the number of Live Lessons you take each month.
