Am I correct in assuming that subscription costs are based upon just one language and for one person?
Many thanks.

A subscription gives full access to all of the languages to a user, across as many devices as they care to log in on…

So theoretically two or more people could use just one subscription if they were each learning a different language?
It seems rather mean to game the system like that, though, when SSI makes such an effort to be affordable and accessible already.

Since the early days, there have always been ways to “play the system” to an individual’s advantage, but we rely on the basic honesty of our learners, and I have to say, that it’s not often that someone lets us down

To be honest the system has been designed for one person to switch from one device to another - and it will work in that way. It doesn’t support concurrent use - which is a different thing.
We intend to offer household-type subscription options in the near future - so there will be no reason to do this anyway.

True! I was aware of this trusting nature when I had my ten free days back in March, and realised there was absolutely nothing stopping me from downloading every single challenge I wanted to do (I did) and then paying not one penny (I’m not that ungrateful). I mean, the site didn’t even take payment details before starting the free trial! How are you supposed to catch out all the people who forget to cancel?!
(Every other free trial I’ve ever had felt like a trap because of asking for payment details first. I love that SSI didn’t do that.)

Ah, so two people could use a single account, one learning French and one learning Spanish, but only if they each use it at different times of day?
That certainly cuts down on the potential for sneakiness. You might use a friend’s account for free for a little while to try it out, but it would soon get annoying if you kept clashing. So much easier to have your own.

Regarding paying or not paying. The old adage is very true
"you only get what you pay for "
Regarding SSIW or Say Something in Multiple Languages ’ SSIML lol , is outstanding. I also listened for a while before signing up. And thankfully almost immediately took it upon myself to attend zoom sessions, which im really glad i did.
In my opinion this fast tracked my learning progress immeasurably. From stuttering and stammering through many hours of zoom to now i have almost no problem attending and understanding almost totally. This is after 4 years, but my understanding level has been around for quite a while so i honestly can’t put a time scale on it. More recently i started Spanish with the challenges in the summer, around 6 months ago. And my progress is not as significant i have to say.
Without the incredible back-up of sessions and SSIW help to keep me on track. So the fee SSIW charges is outstanding value for the money and the quality and quantity of services provided. Of course there are always ways around things, and you i could have downloaded the lessons and cleared off to my living room to practice and learn by myself. But i firmly believe I’d still be there stuttering and stammering with more questions than answers. Of course there’s loads of activities online to learn for free like duolingo, YouTube. But believe me when i say that you’ll only get so far without the human touch or voice of guidance from experts such as SSIML lol.
Diolch yn fawr
Muchas Gracias

When I started SSiW it was only, I think, £3 a month, and I went through it within a year. I figured that £36 wasn’t nearly enough for the gift of the Welsh language, so I didn’t stop my subscription for a number of years. (I’m now on the forum in a work capacity.)
And I think I’m about to re-subscribe so that I can start to take advantage of the new languages…

I remember that. But I started with the Spanish course which wasnt using the subscription model at the time so I didnt subscribe till more recently. I also remember there was a “pay more now, later free for life” type thing to raise funds. I had a really insecure income at the time but I was still tempted.
