I've been using the app for 6 months and would've given it 5 stars if you'd asked me 2 weeks ago. HOWEVER, as many users have noted, the new update with AI is awful and navigation is far less intuitive. They've tried gamifying it with a fish I don't care about feeding (if I wanted to waste time on mobile game apps I wouldn't be on italki) and more focus on AI throughout the app. I'm on italki to find HUMAN teachers, not to wade through piles of AI slop. PLEASE REVERT BACK!!

Beware they will steal your money/credits. Beware Italki. ! They require you to a make a minimum purchase but it's not always possible to find the right teacher at the right time. If you don't regularly log in they will remove your credits from your account to keep themselves and will not return them . I think that's accountable to theft. Who can trust a platform that removes your money and then refers you a t&c saying it's acceptable . I've had £100 removed from my account from customer servic

Italki is a very good language learning platform where you can choose to take classes in any number of different languages. The prices offered by teachers vary considerably. All the teachers I have ever taken classes with, including my present ones, are very professional and always offer guidance, corrections and encouragement! It's a great idea to listen to the short videos they offer before choosing and most teachers are happy for you to have a trial lesson but you may have to pay!
