Excellent in every way useful to a new language learner - or even an intermediate one. I have been learning Danish with Swap Language for around 8 months; because I am not naturally good with new languages and lack confidence, I had found the formal schools quite intimidating. Swap Language learning is anything but that. 😊
The online lessons are very well thought-out and structured, so you learn in small chunks so it’s never overwhelming. The teachers are really fantastic - surely the best thing about SWL - full of enthusiasm, warmth, encouragement and smiles.
The lessons are live, interactive and often involve everyday scenarios which are often acted out for you - but because they’re online you never feel peer pressure or shy to try out the language. Best of all I feel is the ‘watch again’ facility so if you have a busy lifestyle, you can catch up at your own pace! And download PDFs of lesson materials. As I travel with work this is invaluable, because I don’t miss out on learning as per more formal schools.
And - the price is great, great value - the cost of my Netflix subscription each month! And no contract - so if life takes over - you are not tied in.
The personal support is also very, very good indeed. But if there was one benefit I really had to single out it is would be this: Danish can be hard to learn - not because the grammar is hard (it isn’t) but because speaking it requires confidence; that’s what learning with Swap Language has given me - the confidence to TRY. With friends and out shopping, and in other everyday transactions. As a relative newcomer to Denmark - this is INVALUABLE in getting established within my community and genuinely have made more friends as a result.
Learning with Swap Language is patient but well-paced learning of a very high quality and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
(They are not paying me to say this - I just genuinely love learning a language now!)
