Lingoda is an on-demand online language school connecting students to native-speaking teachers via live Zoom classrooms for English, Spanish, French, and German. It runs thousands of 24/7 immersion classes, totaling more than 450,000 classes per year across roughly 2,000 lessons, and serves about 70,000 students with 1,400 teachers. The company emphasizes human-led instruction over automated lessons and plans to enhance its tech platform with more tools for teachers and asynchronous supplementary material. Leadership says Lingoda will use new funding to widen its footprint in markets such as the U.S. Its revenue run rate is 10x that of a year ago and its customer base grew 200% across 200 countries; management says it is not "hugely unprofitable." Per-class prices typically range from $6.75 to $14.30, and Lingoda provides certifications including recognized Cambridge assessments for English. Lingoda is a Berlin-based online language school launched in 2012 by Fabian and Felix Wunderlich. It operates an online English school that employs experienced native English-speaking teachers. Students can create their own learning curriculum and choose their study environment and times. The service offers group classes, private 1-on-1 classes (60 minutes each), and access to over 7,000 interactive learning videos. According to Deutsche Startups, Lingoda raised a funding of an undisclosed amount. Global Founders Capital provided the sum.
