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

Awesome

Awesome. They make their job the best they can. Also there is an involvement in the learning process, and they always try to make the best of your classes. Highly recommendable.

P.S: If they are good, does not mean they make the work for you. They just help you and steer the wheel of your learning process.

I had done some Classroom courses from different vendors before starting with Lingu online and used Lingu for almost 6+ months and I can assure you that if you have taken some Norsk classes earlier then Lingu is the best platform to keep it practising and buliding on your knowledge with lots of practise and games in all departments viz. Lese, Lytte, munltig og grammtik. I specially liked the online courses with live teachers weekly twice but to be frank I retook some subjects with online teacher as it helped me to practise more with muntlig and teachers with lingu er the best I have ever seen.
3 Cheers! Lingu. Will take it again in future for my B2 preparations but will take a break now for few months due to other commitments.

Cheers!
Ramakant.

Good course structure, experience instructor

Good course structure covering all essential info for foreigners living in Norway. 100% online base made it a lot easier to do at one’s own pace. Yngvild is a great instructor for the virtual class. She has not only in-depth knowledge of the topic to share but also her personality and sense of humour made the (sometimes) boring topic fun. Recommended!

Good value for your money

I have been a Lingu.no online student for over 1.5 yrs and stayed this long for 3 main reasons:
1. Lingu.no is approved by Kompetanse Norge which means your study hours are valid in Norway.
2. It is relatively affordable even though expensive (Norwegian language learning is expensive in general)
3. You can take many live online classes with a native Norwegian teacher in groups.

Things that I do not like:
1. Teachers are very strict, e.g. if you are not active enough in a class you will get warnings or your time won't be credited.
2. There a lot of online activities, but I prefer to have an option to have a book of these materials instead of staring at the screen.
3. After a while materials used at online classes become repetitive.
