17 Minute Languages Reviews

I really dig the idea of 17 languages. Back in November and December of 2016, I picked up three languages: Brazilian, German, and American. After being away from the site for six years, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my registrations were still active. I was aware that a method typically lasts about 10 years, but you never know what to expect online, right? 😂 So, kudos to you for being so dependable.

I made a bit of a blunder when I selected a reward for my initial 1000 points. I accidentally clicked on "Afrikaans," but now I can't switch it to another language. I’d really prefer "Egyptian" instead. Could you help me out with that? Thanks a bunch!

Total rip-off. The Malagasy course offers no additional words, phrases, or exercises compared to the free trial. For 29 euros, it's a scam.

After I got the hang of it, this course really improved for me. I discovered that jotting down any words I was unfamiliar with, along with their definitions, was super helpful. They appear in groups of 20 words per lesson. I review these and try to recite them whenever I can during the day to prep for the next one. Thanks to this approach, I found myself dedicating way more time each day than I had planned.

I got the Latvian course, and everything seemed fine at first. But now, the audiotrainer's not working, and I can't get in touch with anyone. What a terrible company.

Audiotrainer just ain't functioning. I attempted to drop a note through their Contactform, but that didn't fly. It said: Sadly, your message couldn't be sent because of missing info. I'm pretty confident I filled everything out right. Their regular email seems to be nonexistent. Maybe they're just a bunch of crooks.

This course is fantastic for expanding your vocabulary. I wouldn't suggest it for absolute beginners, though. If you've got a handle on the Czech alphabet and have some grasp of the seven cases and their functions, plus a bit of knowledge about past and future tenses, then this course is perfect for you. You can't really communicate or comprehend without a solid vocabulary, so this program truly enhances your word bank, and the cost is pretty reasonable too. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

About a month and a half ago, I purchased courses in German and Latin American Spanish from 17 Minute Languages. As someone who teaches languages professionally, I can honestly say they’re pretty solid, and the lessons are enjoyable and engaging. I mainly focus on vocabulary and grammar, skipping exercises and pronunciation practice since I don’t need them. So, I can’t really speak to those parts of the courses. What’s got me a bit worried, though, is the apparent lack of customer support. They haven’t responded to any of my messages—neither through direct emails nor through their website. I just hope the company hasn’t gone under and that the site stays up and running.

Seems like a total scam. I forked out cash for the course, but I can't get in. The company doesn't reply to their contact form, and calling their number just gets you an automated message. Definitely best to steer clear.

Just like it claims on the packaging. A thorough, all-encompassing approach to picking up any language. It's user-friendly, hands-on, and really keeps you interested.

Steer clear of shelling out cash for this. I signed up for the mailing list, but after a week or so, I got hit with a popup asking for 29.95. Not cool at all! I tried the trials, but they just didn’t meet my needs.

This product is just incredible! I can't believe how awesome it is. Seriously, it's been a game changer for me. I mean, wow, I never expected it to be this good. If you're thinking about getting it, just do it! You won't regret it, trust me.

I really dig this course! It's super clear and to the point, making it incredibly helpful and uplifting!

This is seriously the most fun way to pick up the language, and you grasp it real quick. I'm confident that I'll get a solid handle on Icelandic using this approach.

I've been using the C1-C2 German course from 17-Minute Languages, and I gotta say, I'm quite pleased with it. The audio is done by native speakers, and I'm picking up words I wouldn't have thought to learn myself. I also tried a Greek course, which had a few errors, but this German one has been spot on so far. I'm really expanding my vocabulary here.

Misleading terms/definitions for the Croatian language. I tried reaching out to 17 mi languages with examples, but got no reply. I'm also having trouble securing a refund; nobody is responding, not even the owner.
