I really loved the opportunity to speak with native French speakers on a daily basis. It's so different learning on your own with a bunch of textbooks and flashcards vs having a professionally trained individual basically as your own private teacher or tutor using their material or mine. I can't say enough about the time spent actively practicing the target language and getting corrections in real time (because I don't always hear my own mistakes). What a value!

I found a teacher I love, someone who is very understanding, gentle, helpful, and fun, and I am learning more all the time. I've been at it for about seven weeks and I can already tell the difference in my abilities. I really believe I'm going to get to fluency this way!

I was a student on lingo culture , and I had a wonderful experience. It was very easy to use, and the option to take unlimited classes made it even better. The teachers were extremely hardworking, supportive, and always went the extra mile to help me. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to reach my French learning goals. I’m truly grateful for everything I learned and highly recommend this platform to anyone looking to improve their French.

I tried Lingoculture for 1 month and I can highly recommend it. I had a lot of classes with many different teachers.
Enjoyed it a lot.

The teachers spoke in a clear and slow manner, and all of them were able to speak English too, very much accommodating my needs as a beginner learning a new language. The welcome lesson was helpful, addressed my concerns and informative. I like the experience so far, providing me a lots more opportunities to practice my speaking, even as a beginner stage.

I recently joined Lingo Culture and I am very impressed so far.
I signed up with a 7 day trial, which included 3 classes (although the first one is really a welcome call).
The clases are 45min long and all the teachers so far have been really good and offer a great opportunity to practice.
The website is really simple to use and the few times I have had issues I have been able to resolve it via customer support chat and the support agent - Valentine - has always been super helpful, friendly and resolved my issues immediately. It's really top-notch support. I was impressed.
I signed up for their "Lite" plan so that I can have lessons 2x a week, which is what I can manage with my work/family schedule.
So far, so good!

In just three months, I went from zero to C2 (dalf C2 certified!) in French thanks to Lingoculture. Their platform offers unlimited lessons with professional native teachers, combining structure and flexibility. I studied 5–6 hours daily, focusing on grammar, conversation, listening, and writing. Each class built on the last, with personalized feedback and real-life materials like news, debates, and essays. The progression was fast but clear: survival French in month one, advanced grammar and topics in month two, C2 exam prep in month three. Lingoculture gave me the tools, support, and immersion I needed to achieve fluency and confidence in record time. All the teachers are good but personally my favorites are Lynda, Rachele, Sonia and Amira ❤️❤️❤️

I think the teachers here are great. They really want you to succeed at learning French and they are very kind and patient with me. I would even go so far as to say that the teachers quickly start to become a friend.
Nour is a teacher that my daughter and I really like and she is so nice and fun to talk with. We all get a lot of laughs as we work on our French. It is a great environment.
I even have found one of the side benefits of this program is learning about culture on the other side of the world from me. It is so interesting and eye opening to learn about people in other countries.
Lynda has been great too. She is like a educational manager who checks in every so often to see how you are progressing and look to making changes where needed in your instruction.
The only thing I think could be improved is having text message reminders (or emails but text is better) about an hour before class as I change time zones frequently and it is tough to keep track of my scheduled classes.
This is a great way to start getting real experience speaking French with real French-speaking people. I highly recommend it.

HIGHLY recommend! A wide range of tutors to suit your interests and availability, and customer service is always helpful and prompt. My regular tutors are professional, with interesting personalities, and genuinely care about helping advance my French learning. I have found the monthly subscription to be of great value as I work towards taking the DALF exam. Merci beaucoup, LingoCulture!

This is the best site I have used to improve my conversational skills in French. At first, I was skeptical because of the unlimited classes offered. However, LingoCulture is true to their word and the teachers are supportive and encouraging. I can now say that my conversational skills have drastically improved!! I highly recommend LingoCulture!!

Reply from LingoCulture
Very good experience so far. I found a teacher that I really like and have been taking classes every day. The one-on-one language classes are SO much better than the group classes on other platforms because you are forced to speak the target language. And the unlimited classes are an amazing deal.

LingoCulture allowed me to learn my best friend's language it was a birthday gift, and I highly recommend it! The flexibility of the teachers is a huge advantage: they fully adapt to my schedule, making learning smooth and enjoyable. The online course service, which adjusts to our availability, is truly a game changer. Thanks to LingoCulture, I can say these words in French: Merci beaucoup pour cette expérience !

I had an amazing experience with Lingo Culture! Their one-on-one courses with real teachers make learning French so much more effective and enjoyable. The instructors are incredibly patient, talented, and truly passionate about teaching. They take the time to understand your needs and adapt the lessons accordingly, making the learning process smooth and engaging. I’ve seen great improvement in my French skills thanks to their structured yet flexible approach. Highly recommend Lingo Culture to anyone looking for a high-quality language learning experience. Wishing them continued success!

Lingoculture’s (LC) main two plans (discussed below) give one-on-one lessons with teachers.
The plans have three curriculums that a student can select: (1) “LingoCulture Method”, a semi-academic program, (2) “Edito Program”, an academic and structured program, and (3) “DELF”, with intensive grammar for exams.
I would consider most teachers to be “semi-professional”. They have some teaching experience and some have certifications in teaching languages. But almost none have a college degree or a master’s degree in Education. But, they all have some type of bachelors or masters degree or are studying in them.
All their teachers speak English from the upper intermediate level to native level. So they can communicate with students in English when necessary. They even ask students what percentage of French or English they should use to explain things during lessons.
LC is flexible in allowing the student to study any three of their programs or any other content in any way he/she prefers. A student can do the sequence of lessons in any of the three programs mentioned above. Or he/she can sometimes practice conversation with teachers, or do any other activity he/she prefers.
The available lesson hours are, in UTC time, from 7am to 1am, every day. Considering that UTC time is 5 hours ahead of my Eastern USA time, lesson hours for me would be 2am to 8pm.
The student can study in advance the lesson contents and even download them onto their hard drive to keep even after he/she no longer subscribes to LC. Of course, the teacher gives better or in-depth explanations during the lesson. In addition, the solutions to exercises are not in the lesson contents. Only the teacher can confirm if the student came up with the correct answers to the exercises or provide the answers if the student does not know them.
LC is modeled on Baselang Spanish. So any student who previously enrolled in Baselang would know how Lingoculture operates. In addition, both LC and Baselang select teachers from countries with a low cost of living which allows them to charge reasonable prices to students.
The majority of teachers are from Algeria, which used to be a French colony. The curriculums teach standard Parisian French and Algerian teachers speak a similar variety of French.
I am taking the plan called “Lite” which allows 8 lessons per month and
currently charges $99 per month. This comes out to $12.38 per lesson of 45 minutes each. Their other plan, "Unlimited" allows unlimited lessons for $197 per month, which I am not taking.
Their third plan option called “King’s French” claims to take a student from zero to conversational in a month! This is an 80-hour intensive program priced at $2,600.
I assume most students take the Lite Plan or Unlimited Plan.
LC offers a 7-day free trial period with 3 free lessons, which include 1 introduction/ consultation (classified as a free lesson).
For these “semi-professional” levels of teachers for one-on-one lessons, the price per lesson is okay.
The language learning website, Lingoda, charges over twice the price for one-on-one lessons, but their prices for group lessons are similar to those of LC's one-on-one lessons.
For less qualified teachers, for one-on-one lessons, one can find lower prices in other learning websites, such as iTalki and Preply.
Let me clarify that teachers on iTalki and Preply charge a wide range of prices from $3 per lesson to $80 per lesson. However, most of the teachers from these websites who charge the lower prices are what I classify as “casual” teachers, those that do not have much certifications or experience in teaching foreign languages. If you are already at an intermediate level or higher and mostly want to practice conversation in foreign languages, then iTalki and Preply are lower cost options.
Customer Service is via chat and email. They always reply to chat questions quickly, but once in a while they do not reply to my email questions during certain hours of the day.
Few negatives:
Each lesson is only 45 minutes, not the full hour. I understand that teachers need time to write the student’s progress report after each lesson. But this should not take 15 minutes.
They use Zoom for lessons, which does not save messages for the students (guests) of meetings. So many students lose their lesson notes (chat content) unless they copy and paste them before the lesson ends.
Some teacher’s hours are always fully booked. They allow students to book up to five days in advance. Students can choose three favorite teachers, which allows students to book such teachers up to seven days in advance. In fact the only way to book some popular teachers is to select them as favorites and book them 7 days in advance.

My teacher is really fantastic. She is so patient with such a slow student such as I. I recommend this place to everyone who is taking the french language very seriously in their language learning endeavors.
