Why zinguist will work for you

From Krashen to Chomsky, linguists agree that we learn most effectively from listening and natural interaction - as we all did as children.

zinguist is the first system to think outside the boxes of classrooms and standardised apps, enabling you to learn naturally.

  • I took the “professional” course and, in only 2 months, it really helped me build a solid foundation (and even more) in German, which I had no knowledge of. All the staff are extremely helpful and professional, and their flexibility is a great help to those who work. The combination of conversation sessions and coaching will stimulate your learning and make it challenging, but also very enjoyable and inspiring. I highly recommend it to whoever wants to study a language!

Marco

  • I signed up for Zinguist with very limited speaking skills, and I was amazed at how much progress I made in such a short time. The course is entirely focused on speaking, which made a huge difference compared to traditional classes. I loved the flexibility—being able to schedule weekly sessions with native speakers around my own availability was a big plus. The weekly coaching sessions kept me motivated and on track with my goals. The memorization technique is incredibly effective, and the 8 weeks just flew by.

Heather

  • I had many "classical" German lessons where you study grammar, do exercises, have limited talking practice, etc. No matter how good the teacher was, I was just not able to be part of a casual conversation, and I don’t even mention the fluency. I decided to try Zinguist as the focus was on the talking, listening, fluency, etc. The result was way beyond my expectations as it totally unlocked my talking ability, so I can now proactively and confidently engaging a conversation with anyone. I truly believe that all German (and any language) lessons should be based on the Zinguist method!

Franck

  • I did an 8-week Italian course with Zinguist plus a 4-week follow-up, and I absolutely loved it. The method is super unique. It didn't really feel like I was studying a lot but I was learning and improving so much in a short span of time. My confidence and fluency improved a lot, and it was actually fun to learn. Patient, encouraging and just lovely people all around. They helped me so much with my progress and my abilities to speak and learn Italian! Highly recommend it if you want fast, real progress without the feeling of traditional language classes.

Jana

  • I've been studying French with Zinguist for about three months, and the progress I’ve made is truly remarkable. The course format, which emphasises audio and visual memory, is perfect for a visual thinker like me who has always struggled with traditional academic methods. This approach feels refreshing and fun, making the learning process enjoyable rather than a chore. For the first time, I’m genuinely excited to learn French!

Jude

  • I enjoyed learning German with zinguist. I had researched different learning options, but ultimately decided to go with zinguist because their language acquisition technique is all about working with, not against, my brain. 😅 So, no worksheets or teachers writing grammar rules on whiteboards in brightly lit classrooms. I was able to make a lot of progress in just 2 months and loved how easy it was to integrate the exercises to my routine. Highly recommended!

Zi-Ting

  • I strongly recommend the Zinguist program as it has helped me to learn Spanish in only 2 months! I've always wanted to learn Spanish since I have family living in Barcelona and wanted to be part of conversations when I go meet them, and in 8 weeks I was able to keep a conversation with my family and friends when I went to see them after the course. Everyone was impressed and I felt so confident! Do it, you won't regret it :)

FAQs

  • What does zinguist do?

We’re an online course with an app that improves your speaking faster than any other available service. Our learning system is effective in any language at any language level.

We offer immersive practice in the language with a team of enthusiastic native speakers. For the first two months, we also offer you coaching in how to learn a language efficiently.

  • What languages do you offer?

We offer all languages!
zinguist is based on a learning framework that can be applied to any language. Just let us know what language you’d like to learn, and we'll make sure you can start within 2 weeks.

So far, we’ve offered 30 different languages.

  • Is there a programme that’s followed?

Yes, there's an 8-week programme that focuses on 2 main areas:

  1. You will learn how to listen to full-speed interactive language (a bit like a child does), and how to memorise phrases (quite like memory champions do and the Ancient Greeks did), and why these three things (immersive interaction/listening exercises/memorising strategically) are all you need to become accurate and confident.

  2. We have a special method of immersive practice in the language. Our native speakers are known for their engaging character and trained in the zinguist system. What you could not (yet) say during these sessions becomes the content you learn, delivered via your account in the zinguist app.

After the 8-week programme, we also offer optional Graduate programmes focusing only on continuing to practice speaking in your target language.

  • Can I pause the 2-month programme?

You can pause our programme:

  1. Anytime if you subscribed to the professional programme.
  2. During the holiday season (over Christmas and New Year’s Eve, or for your summer holidays) if you subscribed to the social programme.

  • How many hours a week do I have to commit to the programme?

The total learning time is less than 1 hour a day. It can fit into any busy schedule because 40 minutes of this time are the exercises completed in your own-time.

We ask participants to allow for:

  • 3 x 30 min coaching each week

  • 3 x 30 min native speaker practice each week

  • 2 x 20 min own-time study each day

  • Does the programme take place at fixed times?

For most of the 8 weeks, live online sessions with us are divided into two: a) coaching in how to learn effectively, and b) practice with native speakers.

  1. Coaching - 3 times a week for 25 mins. These are at the same 30 minute slot three times per week (e.g., Mon/Wed/Thur at 10:00 am). If you need more flexibility, you can opt for the professional programme, which offers brief 1:1s (with your own mentor) if you miss a session.

  2. Native speaker session - 3 times a week for 30 mins. They do not have to be at the same time on different days. Most likely, you will be paired with one other learner of the same language and level (unless you opt otherwise in the professional programme). Sessions will be arranged at mutual convenience of you, your pair and your native speaker.

  • If I already am at a conversational level, what can your method do for me?

Zinguist can equip you with very useful tools which will support you in becoming a more confident speaker, or help you refine your business or natural speaking skills. Our two month programme helps everyone, no matter their level, whether starting from scratch or wanting to further develop existing language skills.
