What's more, we have a 30-days 'no questions asked' refund policy. Full refunds are all processed within 24hrs.

Yes. like every subscription service (Netflix, Spotify etc.), the membership renews automatically.

But it is very easy to cancel, and takes < 5 seconds.

You can cancel it at any time, all in your online dashboard, and you'll keep your access until the end of that billing period.

If you are on our Annual membership, we send you a reminder 7 days before it renews, so that there are no surprises.

We hate complicated cancellation processes just as much as you.

Yes. If you join on our Pro Annual membership you can download everything.

If you choose the Monthly membership, you can access everything online, but not download.

If your language is not on this list, don't worry. If you are a member, simply email hi@leonardoenglish.com and we will help you add it to your account manually.

We have a 30 day 'no questions asked' refund policy.

This means that you can request a full refund for whatever reason you want - the language level was too high/low, I didn't have time to use it, my dog ate my phone, it doesn't matter.

Hi, I'm Alastair 👋.

I'm an English guy from London, who has spent 35 years on this earth studying foreign languages, working in technology, teaching English to foreigners, and thinking about learning languages.

I'm a native English speaker, am fluent in Italian and French, have a Masters in Mandarin Chinese, and have studied Russian, Latin and Greek, as well as dabbling in Spanish and German.

I've lived in the UK, France, Italy and China. I now live in Malta, am married to an Italian, have a little (almost) trilingual baby, and have friends from all over the world, so I've spent my life thinking about how best to learn a language.

I'm building Leonardo English to help people like you improve your English while learning about the world.

The majority of our content is in a British 'BBC' accent, otherwise known as The Queen's English.

On occasion we may have content in an American, Australian, or South African accent.

And we'd love to hear from you. Please email hi@leonardoenglish.com.
