I really enjoyed taking Norwegian…
I really enjoyed taking Norwegian classes at this school. The teachers are super friendly and explain things in a way that actually makes sense. The lessons are practical and focused on everyday Norwegian, which helped me feel more confident speaking pretty quickly.
The vibe is relaxed and supportive, and I always felt comfortable asking questions. I’ve learned a lot and would definitely recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn Norwegian.

Dogshit customer service
Absolutely furious with the way your customer support treats customers. Rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. The experience was insulting and unprofessional from start to finish.
If this is how you treat paying customers, I understand all the customer service horror stories now. Canceling my subscription asap and I will be warning others to stay away from Lingu.no

Awful communication!
I signed up for a class with them in November, and without warning they changed the class time to 2 hours earlier(from 7pm to 5pm) a few days before the course was meant to begin.
When I asked them about it they ignored me for 2 days, said I was in the wrong and made a mistake (despite me having email confirmation I did not) and instead suggested I just deal with it or take a class for the level below. Definitely do not recommend them! I’ve heard so many better reviews from other companies like Lenoo/folkeuniversistet 🤷🏻♀️

Lost hours and Ignored by the support
When requesting my certificate, I got with much less hours than what I did. The system showed me that I was able to request It but did not clarify how many hours I would get. Tried to contact them several times and I was ignored. Nobody answered. Very disappointed with their service and do not recommend to anyone.

Best for Norwegian language & social studies courses
I have been taking norwegian language classes for about 2 years now with Lingu. It has been difficult for me to balance an hectic work schedule and learning the language. But their very flexible course structure has made all the difference. The teachers are also great. If you dont understand one teacher, you can easily switch to another batch. You can pause and restart the courses as you please, so you can move at your own pace.
Btw, They have upgraded the course material, uploading even the reading material online. So you dont have to buy any super expensive workbooks. Also they recently launched app is surprisingly user friendly. Since it is super new, it still has some minor bugs here and there. I'm sure their are fixing them as we go. But for a new language app, it's years ahead of it's time.
