Altissia.com is a website focused on 5 languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch). When signing up it gives you a 7-day-trial which starts with a 30-40 minute placement test (too long I think) consisting of fill-in-the-blanks and multiple choice exercises. The vocabulary section is separated into units and each unit into topics, animation videos (of which you can adjust the speed and language) and exercises including dictation/spelling, translation and comprehension activities. The grammar section consists of topics like verbs, adjectives, proverbs etc., for each of which there’s a well-structured and explanatory tutorial along with practice exercises. You also get access to following your progress in real time. Even though I didn’t get to fully explore the business section, I found the website quite professional-looking and effective overall, without an overwhelming amount of extra features to crowd it. Its high prices and the lack of games and more fun activities were the main reason altissia.com got four instead of five stars; $49/1month, $99/3months, $159/6months and $249/12months.
