Excellent course to help integrate into Norwegian society. Some of the course material needs to be updated though. Some videos have too much background noise, so if that can be corrected, it would... See more

Praktisk, effektiv og tidsbesparende!

Hi,

On top of a business, i believe that Lingu is helping a lot of persons like me that cannot afford to spend time in transports to reach the traditional classes of Norwegian or social studies.

I had issues connecting to online classes at the beginning but it went quite smooth afterwards so maybe you can have a look at it.

Other than that, all good. Thanks.

Lingu Social studies course is really…

Lingu Social studies course is really very convinient for those who have busy day jobs. The classes in virtual classroom are easy to attend and the Instructors are very friendly and helpful and reachable on email for any clarifications of extra information.

I will recommend this to anyone who is looking at Lingu as an option.

Highly recommend Lingu.no,

Highly recommend Lingu.no,

The experience was exceptional with a steady learning program well thought out and presented. I work full time and the flexibility to take on an online program was exactly what I needed to an otherwise busy schedule. I saved myself from many commuting hours during the program period, and I highly recommend taking the online program through Lingu.no.

Awesome teacher and efficient learning

Awesome teacher and efficient learning

Lingu is introduced by one of my friends, and it is really a good choice.
My A-1 teacher, Ingrid, is very good at teaching, and my classmates are very active. So, I had a good time, and I learned well for my A-1 which is the big foundation of new language.

If you can speak basic English, lingu will be your best choice, more efficient and more concise than traditional schools.
And the online course is also very helpful to me.
After a short break, I will return to lingu again.

I am really pleased with the fast track Norwegian course at Lingu. It is very well organised with both classroom and on line teaching. The teachers are friendly and encouraging as well
as being very professional. There is a great atmosphere in class. I would recommend Lingu to anyone wishing to learn Norwegian quickly and efficiently.

Good Learning

This is a pretty energetic class, considering this is a fast pace course we have covered decent amount of content in just 2 months.

So worth it

Lingu has a great teaching method with morning/night classes, with online resources and live classes you can take from home and they also have the most committed and patient teachers that work a lot to make sure the students not only understand the language but also how to pronounce it like a Norwegian. There is also these weekly meetings at the school that you can attend just to practice your speaking with other students while you drink coffee like a friends meeting! In 2 months I really feel a lot more autonomous and confident with Norwegian in my daily life just with level A1, and I can't wait to see how I'm going to be when I finish level B. Definitely recommend!
