If possible I would give zero stars for this company. I paid for a course which never arrived. Despite many emails to the company, accompanied by the company receipt as proof of purchase, I never ev... See more

The initial cost seemed a bit high but considering it is valid for 10 years, which is what I think people need for tier 3 and higher languages... The interface is simple. Of course, there is no repl... See more

Nothing to complain about. It's been 40 days and I'm learning French quite fast. I'm interested in learning other languages through the same app after I'm confident in French so I hope they'll put mo... See more

It is a good vocabulary builder. On the multiple box questions, if you could flip all the boxes to get there meanings, it would provide additional repetitions and enhance learning. There is one fe... See more

The "17 Minutes" language learning…

The "17 Minutes" language learning method is a revelation! Its streamlined approach makes mastering a new language feel achievable and enjoyable. With short, focused sessions, it maximizes retention and fluency. Whether tackling vocabulary or grammar, this method empowers learners to make significant progress in just minutes a day. Highly recommended!

The worst customer service ever

The worst customer service ever. Unable to unsubscribe from emails. They have no genuine email address, and they don't do as they promise.
"Service Manager " Jessica Bond says will cancel, yet emails keep comin, despite over 12 attempts to get them to stop.
MANY people on Facebook complaining they never get replies.
Avoid at ALL costs

Received nothing!!!

The only mail I got after my payment is that I still have to pay… I already paid €60 for my course!!!! Received nothing. You also cannot get in contact with them. Really bad service they only want the money

The pronunciation of each word is…

The pronunciation of each word is completely understandable, which makes it easier to learn such a difficult language.
If I could add something to the course, it would definitely be pronouncing each letter of the alphabet, because some sounds are difficult to pronounce at the very beginning of the course

DON'T DO IT! SCAM!!!

Paid the course 97 euro, i received an email of confirmation of the order but also states to pay as soon as possible, when i already paid via IDEAL... the next day I receive a reminder that i have to pay the course together with a separate email of PayPal that my payment will be refunded....? I tried to send an email or complaint via their website but it doesn't go through. If this is their way of handling their administration I highly doubt that this is a fit for me. I choose 17 minutes because they are on of the few language institutions that offers Indonesian as a course. I use Rosetta Stone for my Mandarin and French course which goes very smoothly and is one of the best language institutions out there. I will not continue "17 minute language" because it went wrong from the start.

The keep on sending payment requests…

The keep on sending payment requests end the threat that they are going to stop my login codes.
In the mean time send them two times over the proof of payment.
They send the excuses that a bot is doing this but it drives me nuts.
The behavior of the customer service is the same as the bot

A good idea, poorly implemented

The course seems very well designed and thorough.

Update 10/16/23: Well, that was my initial impression, but after working with the course the past couple of weeks, I kept finding anomalies and eventually found myself double checking everything against a dictionary. In the end, I cancelled my subscription. It's too bad, because the basic idea of the course seems sound, but the owners need to hire some experts to do a better job of proofreading it.

Don't trust this company

Don't trust this company! I paid €47 for an Egyptian course but never received the login details and they keep on sending payment reminders threatening to block my login details that I never received!! Not responding to my messages and no way to contact them properly! Waste of my time and money!!

Impossible to login

I have just bought the course, but it's impossible to get to the login page. So I can't use it.
Contact with the helpdesk has not resulted in any answer, so this really feels as a bad start!

A good idea, very poorly executed

It's difficult to describe just how unbelievably buggy, and generally problematic, this website is. Many features work only occasionally, not at all, unpredictably, or on one device but not on another. It's as if they released the beta version of 17 Minute Languages long ago and then called it a day.
And yet certain aspects of the design of 17 Minute Languages make it a unique and useful language-learning tool -- you CAN use it effectively to learn a new language -- as long as you have enough patience to figure out how to work around the many, many bugs.
