"It turned out to be a fantastic and exciting journey for me. Both Venya and Marina, who happen to be the most positive and inspiring personalities you can imagine, have taught me a lot of new things. Not a single lesson was wasted - only top-notch material, explanations and tasks were given. The course itself is well-structured, and the homework is sometimes challenging (I recommend that you don't skip it, and it's vital to practice after each lesson). The truth is that you really have to burn the candle at both ends if you want to succeed in studying English. Feeling so over the moon to get my first certificate from LinguaTrip! Not planning to stop there, though. Thank you so much guys, you're totally killing it. See you around."
The marathon is a format with clear timeframes and one goal: to progress from Intermediate to Advanced. It includes a well-thought-out program with optimal workload, external motivation, and clear steps to achieve the goal.
Over seven weeks, you'll develop a rhythm: small daily steps, noticeable weekly progress, increased self-confidence, and more motivation to continue. It's like a running marathon: reaching the finish line is already a victory and a boost to your self-esteem.
You'll spend time with like-minded people under the guidance of a caring curator. Team activities, group chat, interaction with native speakers, rewards for participation, and a shared pace — everything is designed for support and motivation on your path to Advanced level.
The marathon format will help you develop a habit of regular practice without overexertion. After the marathon, it will be easier to continue: you'll have momentum, all the knowledge, and inertia on your side.
Let's dive into the content in more detail!
"I've just finished the marathon and I'm ready to share my experience! It was an amazing 30 days, filled with lots of useful information, practice, and of course, valuable advice. This was my first learning experience with Lingua Trip, and it ended very successfully. A month ago, I started at Upper-Intermediate level, and today I received my academic test results showing I've reached Advanced level! In my opinion, the key to progress is the practical assignments after each topic: it's important to reinforce what you've learned. That's why I believe the course program is structured effectively. A huge thank you to the whole team, and to the teachers - Venya and Marina, who worked hard to create the course and diligently helped us reach new heights, encouraged us, and inspired us to keep improving our skills!"
For 6 years, we've been collecting feedback and updating our program to give you a comprehensive system: knowledge, diverse practice, motivation, and support — all of this for the price of just four to five lessons with a teacher.
This is our specialty: explaining English language features in an interesting and accessible way. All our social media content is about this! In 7 weeks, we've included only the most essential and useful content for natural speaking and writing. Just enough to help you reach Advanced level proficiency.
Every week, we hold a speaking club with a native speaker from the USA to break down the language barrier and help you immediately put new knowledge into practice. Additionally, you can get discounted access to more speaking practice with Lingua Speaking Club Pro.
If you wish, we'll match you with a study buddy, considering your age, interests, and English level. The experience of over 20,000 participants in the marathon has shown that team work increases your chances of reaching the finish line. But that's not the only reason for team work.
Every team participates in the prize draw. For example, you could win a personal consultation with Venya Pak to map out your future path and receive targeted advice.
Throughout the marathon, Venya conducts additional live lessons with instant feedback and answers questions in Telegram. You can join his mini-group at any time by upgrading your plan toPRO.
And of course, there's a cozy Telegram chat for your group, where you can ask questions, discuss topics and assignments, and receive event reminders.
If you still want to complete the program without a partner, you can also win prizes. At the end of the marathon, we'll randomly select a winner from among our lone wolves.
All challenge participants who complete the entire program are guaranteed to receive one of our textbooks as a gift.

"I've enjoyed every single lesson! Just because I feel that teachers are very into that. I realized how much I already know, but teachers helped me understand something more clearly. l've got a lot of new information, and not about theoretical part but also some tips how not to be timid about speaking. I guess that was exactly what I needed! Gotta take another course"
"These courses gave a good start in developing communication skills in English. When passing through the materials, the results are immediately visible. Perhaps, this is the only school in my life, where l attended each lesson with such pleasure. Here my cherished dream was fulfilled - I started to speak English. All lessons were interesting, with humor and not boring. I received great knowledge for what I'm beyond grateful to these courses."
"I liked the most the fact, that I bought the special offer "summer to improve your English" and I had possibility to level up both grammar and speaking skills. I loved the way how information in the course was composed, Everything was absolutely cool)) The support team was the BEAST 🔥 You are the champions! Before I started the course I had a lot of small inaccuracies. But now a lot of grammar is clear as sky in the sunny day)"
"Hello! I am a student of the course from LinguaTrip. On my journey from point A to point B, I achieved comfortable conversations with native speakers, watched English videos and films, learned a very useful vocabulary, gained knowledge about the culture of the USA, and a lot more. I like the most lessons with the teachers. Marina Mogilko is really motivated, and she gives her motivation to learn English. She is burning with her work. Angela is so funny and humorous, she loves what she does. And Venya is like a native English speaker, which is really cool. I don't regret that I took part in the challenge, it was an interesting experience, and I met new people. Also, I liked the written homework, they were so fascinating, especially the last task. I am exactly happy and immensely proud that we took the second place. I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who tried to create this course. Thank you!"
