Lenguin Video Courses [new + free]


Recommended Posts

Hello Linguaholic!

Please, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fame Ketover, I'm a language lover, and I'm the founder of the free Lenguin language courses.

I'm sure some of you are familiar with the FSI courses, but for those who are not, they are programmatic curricula that have been used for decades in successfully training foreign service workers to fluency. My team and I have used these curricula as the framework for producing new video courses which are available for free.

The Mandarin Chinese course is already available and we're releasing new videos every couple of days.

You can find our videos on Youtube and Facebook.

Here's the direct link to the YouTube playlist for the full Mandarin Chinese course:

Stay up to date by following us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LenguinPenguin

A lot of time, love, and effort have been volunteered for this project in hopes of creating an awesome learning resource for all language learners. All feedback and comments are welcome and will be taken into consideration for future lessons.

Thanks for your time and enjoy the videos! :smile:

Thank you for sharing this! This can certainly help many people in learning a new language! And it is also free, which is such a good thing. I'm sure to check this out later. I will be waiting for other lessons on Japanese or German language. That will be quite interesting and amazing to watch. I hope you keep us updated on other videos that you will be uploading.

Hi Fame is this a complete lesson? I quickly browsed the youtube channel and it made me wonder if you got a complete set of lessons. Is this just like the other free sites that only offers a few basic lessons and need to upgrade if you want the whole course. Will you be coming up with other languages in the future? This will be of great help to those who want to learn free.

Hi Kurdapia!

Thanks for your message.

Yes, the entire Chinese course is free. New videos are being released every couple of days, so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay updated.

We will most definitely be adding more languages soon. We are taking suggestions as to what the next language should be.

Cheers!
