Why a Real Online Language School Builds Confidence Faster Than Apps

Start here: 选择语言.

Language apps (Duolingo, Babbel, Memrise, and many others) have become popular. They are colorful, convenient, and feel like a game. But while apps can help with vocabulary or practice drills, they cannot replace a real online language school.

Apps: practice without responsibility

• No real conversation. You repeat phrases but don’t build your own ideas.
• No feedback. The app cannot explain why your sentence sounds unnatural.
• Gamified, but limited. It’s fun for a while — until you realize you can’t hold a real conversation.
• No cultural depth. Apps teach words; they don’t show how people actually think and communicate.

Apps are great as a supplement. They keep your brain engaged, but they cannot carry you to fluency.

A real online language school: learning that transforms

在 Levitin Language School (Start Language School by Tymur Levitin), we focus on what apps cannot give you:

• Personal interaction. Real teachers listen to your speech, correct mistakes, and push you to think.
• Confidence in communication. You practice expressing yourself, not just tapping choices on a screen.
• Logic and culture. We connect grammar to meaning, and language to identity.
• Transparent structure. You know your plan, your price, and your teacher. No surprises, no hidden fees.
• Flexible study length. Lessons are 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes, with optional 10-minute calls for quick practice.

That’s why our motto is: 全球学习。个人方法。

Why confidence grows faster with a teacher

Confidence comes from real use. Speaking to a teacher, explaining your ideas, hearing corrections, and reformulating your thoughts — this is where fluency is born. Apps don’t challenge you when you’re stuck; a teacher does.

A real school builds habits, accountability, and trust. That’s why our students from 20+ countries achieve results faster than with apps alone.
