I’ve been studying German on Lingoda and Chatterbug a lot during the pandemic. Like the author, I took advantage of their marathon plans. On Chatterbug, it was 400€ for unlimited (!) 1-on-1 lessons with native teachers. Can’t praise them enough. It was a singular thing that just propelled my speaking to the next level (from B1 to B2-C1). Lingoda is less fun and more traditional classroom-like. Chatterbug is fun and startuppy. Both offer structured lessons with natives. Edit: Chatterbug is no longer unlimited for 400€, it’s only 30 lessons a month. Still cheap.
