Both plans give you unlimited access to every podcast, the ability to request podcast topics, and the right to join our monthly Q&A sessions.

The Learner plan also gives you access to transcripts and key vocabulary, and a 30 minute set-up call and discussion with Alastair, the founder of the podcast, when you sign up.

Sorry, we do not. We make 1 podcast free per week, and you can check out some transcripts on the Free Transcripts page.

Instead of a free trial, we offer a 30-days 'no questions asked' refund policy.

Full refunds are all processed within 24hrs.

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.

Yes. Students get 50% off all plans, and we offer educational plans for schools. Please email hi@leonardoenglish.com and we'll take it from there.

Yes, changing your membership is very easy.

If you start as a Listener and want to change to a Learner, you only pay the difference between the two plans. For example, if you join as a 12-month Listener, then decide on the same day to become a 12-month Learner, then you would be charged the difference (€36). The difference is worked out on a pro-rata basis.

Similarly, if you join on a monthly membership, then want to change, you will only be charged the difference, again on a pro-rata basis. For example, if you join on a Monthly Learner (€14/month), then switch to an Annual Learner (€96/year) on day 15, the difference will be approximately €89 (taking into account that the remaining 15 days of the month for your Monthly Learner membership).

You can do this by visiting the membership page when you are logged in.

If you have questions, you can email hi@leonardoenglish.com

What a lovely thought! Yes, of course you can. You can do this on the Gift Memberships page

Sure, and lots of our members do.

Many companies have a ‘learning and development’ budget for their employees, and your membership to Leonardo English should certainly qualify for this.

You’ll receive an itemised receipt and invoice as well, so your Finance department will be happy.

Great question. These sessions happen once a month, and all members of Leonardo English are invited.

Generally these sessions cover an interesting topic, and include a presentation and discussion.

They take place virtually, typically on the last Wednesday of the month at 7pm CET (Paris/Rome time).

It's a great opportunity to learn something new, practise your English with other curious minds (but speaking isn't required), and have some fun at the same time.

Past topics include "How to actually use podcasts to improve your English", "Accents in English", "What British people really mean", and "Brexit".

Sure, if you are a member you can request topics for us to make.

We want to make the podcasts that our members want to listen to - join today and start requesting topics within minutes.

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.

Hi, I'm Alastair 👋.

I'm an English guy from London, who has spent 33 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.

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