About Compare Language Courses

Compare Language Courses is an independent comparison and information site covering every major way to learn a language — in-person classes, online tutoring, apps, immersion programmes, professional training, and exam preparation. We’re not a language school ourselves — our aim is to give honest, plain-English explanations of the options available, including genuine trade-offs, so you can pick a course that actually suits your goals, budget and timeframe.

Course levels vary a lot between providers, so wherever possible we recommend checking a course’s stated CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) level — a widely used A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery) scale that lets you compare courses from different providers on a like-for-like basis.
