Dear reader,
This review is a follow up from my blog post “Why Learn Another Language – Joy to Connect” where I address the Joy to connect with other people through a common language, my personal experience with teaching and learning foreign languages, and my advice on how to learn a language online, at home or on the move.
In this review, you will find more practical information about one of the programs I have personally used and recommend to learn a language online, fast and easily: DutchPod101.
You will also find practical information about the other 34 languages offered by the company behind DutchPod 101: Innovative Language.
Because a picture is worth a 1000 words, I’m also going to share a few screen shots with you.
Enjoy and let me know in the comment section: Which language(s) do you speak? Which one(s) have you been wanting to learn? How long have you been waiting? Are you ready to go for it now?
I look forward to reading your response.

My Personal Experience with DutchPod101
For more details about my general background and experience with language teaching and learning, please read my previous post “Why Learn Another Language – Joy to Connect“.
Here, I shall only repeat my personal experience with DutchPod101.
About a year ago, I was accepted on a course to train as a professional electrician here in Belgium. The whole training was in Dutch, with native speakers.
I had been living in Belgium for 13 years already, 9 of which in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of the country), but I had always been able to get by with French, English and some broken Dutch. With the challenge of my electricity course, I HAD to take my Dutch to another level, fast!
So I did some research and signed up for the DutchPod101 program.
What I LOVED about this program was the fact that it was addressing all the learning styles you can possibly address in an online course. They even give you access to a real person when you upgrade your membership!
I downloaded their lessons as mp3’s and played them in my car while driving. That was a huge help to me because I was spending so much time in my car at that time.
I also used their amazing learning platform on my home computer, on my phone (they have a great App) and I absolutely loved their online tracking system to track my progress.
And yes! I was successful in my electricity training and am now a certified electrician and domotica specialist. 🙂
What Do I Mean by Fast and Easily?
Nope, this is not the magic bullet where you fall asleep and are fluent the next day with no effort. You will have to put in time and effort into this… although there are ways to improve your learning speed should you want to and I shall write later posts about this.
Here when I say “fast and easily”, I mean “in comparison with other programs” that do not offer the same learning platform.

Is This Really Free?
As a former language teacher myself, and very experienced with learning other languages, I find Innovative Language’s programs just mind-blowing! In addition to the quality of their programs, they offer so much for free!
They offer even more if you choose to upgrade.
When I signed up for free, they let me upgrade for $1 for one week so I could check out the rest of their products and services. This was one of the best-spent dollars of my LIFE!
Also Available for Schools and Businesses
See how your business or school can benefit from Innovative Language programs.
Conclusion
I have personally tested DutchPod101‘s free offer AND their upgrade offer for $1 and CONFIRM that this is the best move you could make to learn a language online.
Although I have not tried the other languages myself, I experienced so much quality and value for my money while using the DutchPod101 program that I can only imagine that the other Innovative Language programs are fantastic too.
Whether you are just curious or really serious about it, give it a try!

I look forward to reading your response.

Thanks for the informative post about learning a language online! Much excited! Currently, I speak English, French, and my mother tongue making three languages altogether. Now, I’m planning to learn German. I really want to start speaking German as soon as I can. It’s been up to over 6 months now that I’ve been waiting to learn it and am fully ready to start learning so far I can get a good resource or avenue to go about it.
I understand so much that the provided learning platform makes one learn a language fast and easily. Thanks for the passion! Kudos!

Thank you for this amazing language app review. Learning a new language has a lot of advantages, I speak English fluently and I will like to learn a new language. I will check the listed apps and check which one best suite my preference. I love your experience with the Dutch 101 app.which app support German language learning best?
I very much enjoy learning new languages. I’m not very good at it, lol, but I enjoy the journey! I’ve studied German, Spanish, and Japanese in the past. I’m very rusty now, and never approached any notion of fluency, but my Japanese was good enough to make my away around Tokyo (and beyond!) by myself. Thanks very much for alerting me to this program. I must check it out. Wouldn’t mind brushing up on my Spanish.
Quick question: If you had to choose another language to learn, which one would you pick?
Hi Nathalie,
This is great article with specific information about learning a language on line. I am interested to learn Chinese and Japanese language. I understood that DutchPod101 is helpful for learning 34 languages fast and easily. I have to check availability of my interested two languages. I think pronunciation and accent is important factor for me. I believe DutchPod will help on this. Thanks for sharing this informative article.

All the best,
Nathalie

Hello Michael,
Sorry for the late response.
Yes, Rosetta Stone is also a good resource. I have used it myself for several languages before I learned about the pod101 programs and it has some interesting features. 🙂
The key is indeed motivation. Whatever we want to do, the resources are out there, but WE still have to do something with them. 🙂
I hope you enjoyed what you found when you looked up the Innovative Language website. I just went now and see that they added Ukrainian to their list! Awesome!
All the best,
Nathalie
