Innovative Language Learning offers language courses built around audio and video lessons, with programs in 34 languages through its 101 app. Lessons cover Absolute Beginner through Advanced levels, and include both new and archived material.

Progress syncs among the app, website, and other platforms, so study can continue across devices. The service also provides speech practice, placement testing, and personalized review.

Basic costs $8 a month, billed upfront for one month, and includes all lessons, notes, and transcripts. Premium is $25 a month, billed on the same term, and adds line-by-line audio, spaced repetition flashcards, and study tools.
