Finished the Sprint? There’s a bigger finish line.

If you are finishing a Lingoda Sprint, your next learning plan deserves a little thought. An intensive period gives your calendar a clear job. Afterward, you need to decide what you want to carry into everyday life.

Begin with a conversation you want to keep having, rather than automatically recreating the same pace.

Take stock before adding more

Write down one task that feels more manageable, one that still needs help and one topic you would like to explore beyond your course work. Use your own notes rather than redistributing paid course materials.

Choose an example for each. “I can introduce myself” is useful. “I have improved generally” is harder to turn into a lesson.

If you are still completing an existing program, check its own requirements and commitments. This article does not interpret Sprint eligibility or reward rules.

Pick a sustainable follow-up

Decide how often you can realistically take lessons and what you can do between them. Ask a teacher to build around the task that matters most now.

You might want to describe your work in German, talk about food in Spanish or discuss a film in French. Ask for unfamiliar follow-up questions so the practice does not become a memorized performance.

Review the routine after several sessions. The right next step is one you can use, not necessarily the most intensive option available.

Put the commitment toward a shared goal

Nattive's paid lessons help fund free group English teaching through Classroom for learners who cannot afford private language education.

Our mission is 100,000 hours of live English teaching. Your next personal learning goal can contribute toward it, one paid booking at a time.

We are building toward that target; funding and delivery are separate milestones. You can follow the work while continuing your own progress.

Bring the habit you have practiced and the conversation you want next. There is room for both personal ambition and a bigger shared purpose.

Explore German, French or Spanish lessons.

A commitment we can be measured against

100,000 hours of live English teaching by the end of 2032.

That’s our public mission target. We’ll show the hours we’ve funded, the hours actually delivered and the Classrooms that make up that progress. We want our community to know what their lessons are helping make possible.

Our first Classroom: 8 hours of teaching. Then 100 hours. Then 1,000. Then 10,000. Together, each stage takes us closer to 100,000.

We’re building the first Classroom. Follow our progress as paid lessons help make more teaching possible.

An hour means one hour of teacher-led English class time, whether five or eight learners attend.

Teaching starts once courses are funded and scheduled.

How your booking helps

When you book a paid private lesson on Nattive, a Classroom contribution is allocated towards funded English teaching. Contributions are pooled to fund group courses; the teaching takes place when a course is funded, scheduled and delivered.

What happens when I take a lesson?
Part of what you pay goes to the Classroom fund, automatically, with every lesson you book. There's nothing extra to do.
How much goes towards it?
10% of the teacher's lesson price. It's included in the one price you see, and it's never taken from the teacher's pay.
What does it buy?
Teaching time. 8 hours of live English teaching funds one Classroom course, with the teacher paid for every hour.

A £27.50 lesson includes £2.50 for the Classroom, enough to fund 6 minutes of teaching.

Based on a £25 teacher lesson price. The 10% Classroom contribution is included in the price you see and is never taken from the teacher's pay.

Where does the contribution go?

  1. You book

    You choose your teacher and pay for a 1:1 language lesson.

  2. Classroom grows

    A clearly disclosed part of the total supports the Classroom fund.

  3. Teaching is funded

    When a course reaches its funding goal, that money is allocated to eight teacher-led hours.

  4. Teaching happens

    A paid teacher runs the class and we report the time delivered.

Funded and delivered

Classroom courses funded and Classroom courses delivered are two different moments, so we always report them separately.

Funded

Enough money has come in to pay for a Classroom course's 8 teaching hours.

Delivered

The classes have run and the teacher has taken the register.

A one-hour group lesson counts as one teaching hour, regardless of group size.
