Sarah's insights from a 642 day Golingo streak Sarah, co-founder, is our Chief Learning Officer. With a 642 day streak on Golingo, her progress is absolutely phenomenal. We talk a lot on the podcast about the things you can do around Golingo to help learn a language, so I asked Sarah how she structures her learning. We’ve put this into a blog so it’s (i) searchable and (ii) you can cut and paste sections into your plan if you like. Tim: We talk about learning languages…but perhaps not enough about why we’re doing it. Sarah: Languages are amazing, they are… Read more

Golingo is helping thousands of people start speaking Welsh in everyday life. A group of Welsh language experts have thrown their weight behind Golingo in a bid to get more people speaking the language. The team of tutors, school teachers and influencers - including Doctor Cymraeg of Instagram fame - has taken over Golingo’s Welsh course, developing and launching their own lessons to satisfy the growing demand for speaking practice. Golingo’s app immerses learners in bite-size conversations around a virtual town that mimics real-life. The town is filled with shops, bars and restaurants where learners can practise ordering dinner, buying… Read more

Are you learning a language? Can you speak it? Or, like many, do you lack confidence speaking it? We shared the same problem. After years of learning languages - from books, apps, classes and podcasts – we hesitated every time we spoke from fear of getting it wrong. Speaking confidence comes with practice, but how do you get this? Tutors are expensive and language exchanges lack structure. This inspired the question: “What if you could talk to an app to practice speaking?” We scoured the internet. Most language apps focussed on vocabulary, listening and/or basic pronunciation. Nothing out there allowed… Read more

What challenges exist out there and why have languages like Basque excelled more than Welsh?

This is me, Chris, one of the co-founders here at golingo.I've struggled for years to speak Spanish. I've tried all the apps, language school classes and audio books.

I… Read more
