Description

Description

Similar to other tutor marketplaces, Preply connects students with a large roster of verified tutors for one-on-one lessons. It provides a structured environment with a virtual classroom and learning materials. Preply operates primarily on a subscription model, where students purchase monthly packages of hours with a specific tutor after a trial lesson. This system encourages consistent, ongoing study and is well-suited for learners looking to build a long-term relationship with an instructor.

Readlang helps you learn a language by reading authentic content from across the web. As a browser extension and web app, it allows you to click on any word or phrase you don’t know on a webpage to get an instant translation. These translated words are automatically saved as flashcards for later review via spaced repetition. It is an exceptional tool for intermediate-to-advanced learners looking to transition to native materials and expand their vocabulary contextually, but it is primarily a reading and vocabulary tool with no speaking component.

Mango Languages offers a structured, conversation-focused curriculum available for a wide range of languages. Its methodology involves breaking down sentences into component parts and encouraging the learner to construct them piece by piece. Lessons emphasize practical communication and are enriched with cultural notes. A notable feature is the voice comparison tool, which allows users to record themselves and visually compare their pronunciation waveform to that of a native speaker. Many users can access Mango Languages for free through participating public libraries, making it a very accessible option.
