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

Nice experience

Hi,
I am very satisfied with the course. Very nice!
Some terminology could have been explained more clearly like "What is experience points" ? Which excerise carried what number of experience points? What is the significance of experienc points?

Thanks for offering this course!

Really appreciate Lingu!

Really appreciate Lingu, it gives me freedom to chose the best time to suit my working and life balance. Also when there is something you are not confident, you can try another time and build your knowledge where needed. Really happy with the way I am making progress.

Setter virkelig pris på Lingu, det gir meg frihet til å velge den beste tiden som passer til min arbeids- og livsbalanse. Også når det er noe du ikke er trygg på, kan du prøve en annen gang og bygge din kunnskap der det er nødvendig. Veldig fornøyd med måten jeg gjør fremgang på.

I started the course with zero English and I feel confident even after A1, thank you. Apart from the classes, whenever I wrote Lingu via mails or the message box on the website, they answered very fast and always came up with a solution. I would like to thank the whole team very much:)

A well adjusted private course for me…

A well adjusted private course for me who had special requirements to learn business Norwegian very quickly from scratch. Wanted to avoid usual coursework and books and my teacher made it possible with current content extracted from interesting papers, news, etc...

As an English teacher myself back in…

As an English teacher myself back in Hellas, when I started looking for a Norwegian language course here in Norway I new I had to search for a school that could combine good price on fees with, most importantly, the right education and feedback on Norwegian language and culture. I couldn't have chosen better than Lingu!
I enrolled in B1 fast track internet course with David Haavik. Where should I begin from?
The chat personnel was and is really helpful and standby on any questions and actions that need to be taken when requested. With updates on my email.
The course itself is what I had hoped for. The lessons are full of the necessary material , I got to get connected with my classmates through the various oral practice exercises and the feedback is more than I had expected. David is excellent on his task and I really I need to congratulate him on his work from the depth of my heart, for his efforts, plus the fact that I know that he's available when needed through email, in addition to all.
I feel lucky, privileged, and above all, confident on my progress in Norwegian language. Thank you Lingu. Thank you David!
Veldig fornøyd!! Anbefalles!!

I\m very satisfied and thankful for Lingu for the online course else my leaning would have stopped due to the restrictions. The teachers are nice and give the opportunity to everybody to learn equally. The courses are well defined and planned for students to learn. Sorry for using English but I wanted to share only one thing everybody, learning is an experience, decide your platform! nobody teaches less or more but its about your dedication, it can take you you miles or nowhere! Learning is possible if one wants to learn!

Very Satisfied

Very Satisfied. So glad that I joined Lingu. Each and every point in the content available online is explained so well in detail. The Course gives good overview of Norwegian society, culture, work environment, education, labour market and about many other things in Norway. I highly recommend Lingu for those who want to learn Norwegian in a flexible yet in proper manner.
