An app cannot tell you that your German sounds wrong.
A scheduler is very good at making words stick. It cannot correct your word order, argue with you, or notice you have been avoiding the Konjunktiv for a month. A classroom is a real instructor, a real cohort, and a session in the calendar.
What a classroom gives you
Dated sessions you can see in advance, with a video room that opens when it is time. Attendance is taken when you join.
Instructors are granted, not self-declared. They lead the sessions, mark your course tasks, and can see your progress.
Every classroom gets a padlet: columns and cards where the cohort posts questions, homework and corrections between sessions.
Turning up matters more when other people notice you did not. This is the least technical feature on the page and the most effective.
Questions asked during a session stay attached to it, so the answer is still there next week.
A classroom sits on top of the same scheduler. The queue does not stop while you are in class.
- Monday — Live session: Perfekt mit haben oder sein (video, 90 min)
- Tuesday — Board: instructor posts six sentences to correct
- Thursday — Task submitted, marked by your instructor
- Every day — Your own FSRS queue, unchanged
- Do I have to attend live?
- The sessions are the point of a classroom, so yes — attendance is recorded when you join the video room. If you cannot commit to a schedule, the drills and the courses work perfectly well on their own.
- How many people are in a classroom?
- It is a cohort, not a lecture hall. The size is set by the instructor who runs it.
- What video does it use?
- The video room is self-hosted and embedded in the session page. There is nothing to install and no third-party account to create.
- Can I become an instructor?
- Instructor access is granted by an admin, not requested in the app. Instructors get their own portal where they run their classrooms, author lessons, and mark tasks.
- Is a classroom free?
- Yes. As with everything else in Lingio, there is no paid tier.
Some things need a person.
Join a classroom, turn up to the sessions, and get your German corrected by someone who can hear it.
