Stop studying, start speaking
The zinguist system
zinguist is not what you’d expect from a language course. It’s an entirely new language learning system that focuses on getting you speaking.
We’ve spent 14 years refining the most powerful combination:
a new form of 100% immersion with our zinguist-trained native speakers
retraining of your memory and the way you listen with our specialist coaches
your own unique learning content - recorded for you especially via the app
Effective in any language, at any level, our programme is delivered through live online sessions and complemented by an app.
You will learn 7x faster per hour than any other course*
what makes zinguist unique is what makes zinguist fast, fun, and effective
*60 hours of zinguist (live sessions + learning time) lead to the same result as c.a. 450 hours with Goethe Institut (classroom time + prep). Based on independent telc testing of results. 50 participants monitored.

Benefits
1. You’ll learn faster: apply our long-term memory and listening techniques and you will learn at least 3x sooner (measured in weeks) than with a leading traditional language ‘intensive’ course. And because you will learn 7x faster per hour than any other course or app, you can achieve progress while working full time.
2. You’ll build an intuition for how the language works, just as we all did as children with our native language. The process becomes one of discovery. You won’t need to get lost in grammar rules in order to speak accurately, so learning becomes fascinating and fun.
3. You’ll interact with native speakers from day 1: a 1:1 or 1:2 conversation is a supportive environment for the natural process of immersion. By listening and imitating, like a child does, in a context that the native speaker makes clear, you will find yourself immediately able to interact, whatever your starting level.
