What we believe
Learning at Elingua isn’t dry or stressful. Every student has their own goals, interests and pace, so every plan is designed individually, and you start speaking in the very first session.

Conversation, literature and Iranian culture: from your first “salâm” to reading a line of Hafez in the original.
Hello/sa-lâm/
Did you know? “Paradise” comes from Old Persian “pairidaēza”, a walled garden.
For travel, study, work or a move to Türkiye. Turkish grammar is regular with few exceptions, so once the rules click, progress comes fast. The full A1 course is also in the Elingua app.
Hello/mer-ha-ba/
Did you know? Turkish “kitap” and Persian “ketâb” both mean book, and “pencere” is Persian “panjereh”, window.
Everyday conversation, international exam prep and English for the workplace: the English you actually use day to day.
حالت چطوره؟ · Nasılsın?/haʊ ɑː juː/
Did you know? “Pajamas” comes from Persian “pâ-jâmeh”, literally “leg garment”.
Your first step toward living, studying or working in Germany: everyday conversation, clear pronunciation and a solid base for the next levels.
Good day/goo-ten taak/
Did you know? Every German noun is capitalised: der Tisch, die Liebe.
From the Cyrillic alphabet to practical conversation. The alphabet looks scarier than it is; a few sessions in, it feels like home.
Hi (informal)/pree-vyet/
Did you know? Russian “базар” (bazaar) travelled all the way from Persian “bâzâr”.
Method
No rigid syllabus. Each session is shaped around your goals, interests and pace.

What’s your goal?
A supportive space where getting it wrong is a normal part of learning, with digital tools that make it stick.
