It offers a wide range of content with a suitable, sophisticated filter function.

The only catch: you need basic language skills <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/cefr\/\">(around A1 level according to CEFR)<\/a> to use the videos properly.

Fairly new to the market, it combines a platform with a wide range of content with a browser extension for Netflix. That makes them not only able to offer their own high-quality videos, but lets you study while (re-)watching your favorite movies or series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/lingopie\"><strong>Try L<\/strong>ingopie<strong> Now<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/blog\/lingopie-test\/?nyt=1\"><strong>To the Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Lingopie also includes a basic, built-in vocabulary trainer and has a great, intuitive surface. Though we do still have some critique, the app clearly has a ton of potential and is already quite good. Prices start from around 6$ a month &#8211; they do not offer a free trial, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-background\" id=\"h-lingq-self-study-platform-with-an-active-community\" style=\"background-color:#f3cb99\">LingQ \u2013 Self-Study Platform with an Active Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Although LingQ advertises itself as a language course, it is more of a self-study platform. The provider offers high-quality text and audio materials that can be worked through according to one&#8217;s own learning level. Additionally, there is the opportunity to connect with the active community, take online lessons, and participate in monthly learning challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/lingq\"><strong>Try LingQ for Free<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/lingq-review\"><strong>To the Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">LingQ can be used for free in a limited form: While this isn&#8217;t sustainable long-term, it offers a risk-free insight into the learning method. You can also upload your own content as lessons and use it within the platform&#8217;s context. Moreover, there is a huge selection of learning languages!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:cover {\"url\":\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/talkREAL-Blog-Sprachkurs-Rabatte-Cover.jpg\",\"id\":34076,\"alt\":\"Frau und Mann freuen sich \u00fcber Sprachkurs-Rabatte\",\"dimRatio\":70,\"overlayColor\":\"nv-dark-bg\",\"isUserOverlayColor\":true,\"minHeight\":400,\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-34076\" alt=\"Frau und Mann freuen sich \u00fcber Sprachkurs-Rabatte\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/talkREAL-Blog-Sprachkurs-Rabatte-Cover.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" style=\"position: absolute; z-index: -10; margin-left: -25em; filter: brightness(70%);\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-nv-dark-bg-background-color has-background-dim-70 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container\"><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":32}},\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-welcome-to-neve-this-is-a-hero-section\" style=\"font-size:32px; padding-top: 1.25em;\"><strong>\u2012 Language Course Discounts \u2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":23}},\"textColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:23px\">Find the best <strong>discounts and exclusive coupons<\/strong> for top <br>language courses here!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"25px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:group -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:buttons {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"flex\",\"justifyContent\":\"center\",\"orientation\":\"horizontal\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><!-- wp:button {\"className\":\"is-style-primary\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/discounts-language-programs\/\"><strong>See All Discounts<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:button --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:buttons --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"25px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\"><strong>+ + + Limited-Time Deals +++ Some Offers Expiring Soon +++ Don\u2019t Miss Out! + + +<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:cover -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-mondly-intuitively-to-your-new-language\">Mondly &#8211; Intuitively to Your New Language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Mondly is all about learning without tedious cramming. The provider relies heavily on learning with images and voiced vocabulary cards; new words are inferred from familiar contexts. The learning path is very freely designed, and you can jump between different topics according to your own preference. Leaderboards and the ability to connect with friends provide motivation. Great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/mondly\"><strong>Try Mondly for Free<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/mondly-review\"><strong>To the Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">In terms of price, Mondly also offers one of the top Yabla alternatives with its unbeatable offer: For a one-time payment of just about $120, you can learn 41 languages for life &#8211; without a subscription or hidden costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-conclusion-high-quality-videos-with-a-dash-of-culture\">Conclusion: High-Quality Videos with a Dash of Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">This is probably the best way to describe Yabla. And so, the provider easily makes it into our <a href=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/best-language-programs\/\">Top 10 best language courses<\/a>. We would generally recommend Yabla to anyone who has some prior experience in language learning and wants to further their education with an alternative learning approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Providers like <a href=\"\/en\/go\/lingopie\">Lingopie<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/go\/lingq\">LingQ<\/a>, or <a href=\"\/en\/go\/mondly\">Mondly<\/a> do things quite differently conceptually and are therefore strong Yabla alternatives. Because no concept is like another, especially with alternative learning methods. And so, we most recommend: Take a look at the different providers and see what suits you best.
