English101.com helps people choose an online English-learning program. We compare the main options — EnglishClass101, Duolingo, Babbel, italki and Rosetta Stone — on teaching method, price, speaking practice and who each one suits, and we publish guides in Bahasa Indonesia, Português, Tiếng Việt and Español for learners who are not yet comfortable reading English.
English101's comparisons and guides are written and maintained by Lorenzo Harris, the site's editor. Lorenzo researches each program from the provider's official pricing and help pages and from published independent reviews, and updates pages when prices or features change. You can reach him at info@digitalgrease.com.
English101 is supported by affiliate commissions. When you sign up for a paid EnglishClass101 plan through our links, Innovative Language pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not currently earn commissions from Duolingo, Babbel, italki or Rosetta Stone. Because we earn from one provider, we tell you so on every page and we try to be clear about where competitors are the better choice — for example, we recommend italki for live speaking practice and Duolingo as the best free option. Some pages also show Google AdSense ads. Full details are in our affiliate disclosure.
We re-check prices and key facts at least every quarter and whenever a provider announces a change. Each page shows its last-updated date.
If you spot an error — a price that has changed, a feature that is wrong, or a broken link — email info@digitalgrease.com and we will correct it and update the page date.
Learner testimonials on this site come from EnglishClass101 learners who shared their experience with us; we publish first names and initials only, and individual results vary. We do not publish aggregate star ratings we cannot source. When we summarize what other reviewers say, we link to the original review.
