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 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.

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

Absolutely! Just let us know and we can make arrangements.
(note: this a Christmas exception. Pausing the programme is otherwise only available if you signed up for the professional 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
-
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.
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.
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.

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.
