What happens when the seven days end

If you do not cancel before the trial expires, Lingoda automatically charges the selected plan. The pricing page shows a reminder on day six and payment on day eight, but an email reminder should not be your only record of the deadline.

Signing up involves choosing a paid plan and a payment method even though the trial allowance is free. Lingoda’s FAQ also describes a small card-verification payment that is returned after verification. Distinguish that temporary check from the subscription amount shown in your order.

The general terms, section 7 limit trial-week bookings to people who have not previously been Lingoda customers. Existing or returning learners should not assume a second free trial is available.

Choose the trial format around the decision you need to make

Choose the group allowance if your main question is whether you can participate at the selected level, follow the shared material and get useful practice while other learners take turns. Three classes can show some variation, but they cannot represent every teacher or time slot.

Choose the private allowance if the main question is whether individual attention helps with your specific difficulty. One private class is a narrow sample. Bring a concrete task—such as explaining a work project—and ask what you should practice next. Do not compare one private lesson with three group lessons as if they were equal quantities of teaching.

If you already know you cannot protect a full class slot during the next week, delay starting the trial. Unused trial days do not begin again when your schedule becomes easier.

Use the allowance to test your real week

Book a class at a time you would actually use after subscribing. A convenient weekend lesson does not establish that your level is available after work on Tuesday. Check several future options before judging the schedule.

During the lesson, notice whether you can follow the explanations, whether you get a useful chance to speak and whether the corrections are understandable. Afterward, try a short task again without reading the slides. The question is whether this teaching format gives you a useful next step—not whether you become fluent in a week.

Set your decision time before the billing deadline

Save the confirmation and set a personal reminder comfortably before the exact expiry time. After your available trial lesson or lessons, decide whether the full recurring price and realistic class allowance fit. If the evidence is inconclusive and you do not want a paid plan, cancel within the trial rather than leaving renewal to chance.

A practical sequence is: record the deadline when joining, book appropriate trial classes promptly, evaluate what happened after each class, and act before expiry. This is a planning sequence, not a promise that every desired class will be available during those seven days.

Cancel the subscription, not just the booked lessons

Removing a class from your calendar does not stop the paid plan from starting. Lingoda’s general terms describe cancellation from the account’s “My Profile” area and through the website’s termination option. The subscription cancellation guide explains the official routes and which confirmation to keep.

Complete the cancellation action and check the effective status and date. Save the confirmation email or screen. If the account still shows a forthcoming charge, contact Lingoda with your account email and confirmation. Sending a question to support alone is not evidence that renewal has stopped.

Canceling before the trial ends to prevent a charge is different from requesting a refund after payment. Do not assume that using the trial, forgetting its deadline and then requesting money back is equivalent to a free trial with no conditions.

The source terms are on Lingoda’s FAQ and pricing page. Before continuing, compare the actual renewal amount using the pricing guide. If the format does not fit, the school-versus-tutor comparison can help you identify a different way to learn.
