Full description
⭐ 4.7 stars from 45,000+ reviews. Trusted by language learners worldwide. LingQ is the language learning method that gets you fluent — by reading and listening to real content you actually enjoy, not textbook drills or gamified exercises. Learn Spanish, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, and 45+ more languages. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 THE LINGQ METHOD — WHY IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LingQ is built on comprehensible input — the science-backed idea that we acquire language the same way we learned our first language: by understanding meaningful content at our level, not memorizing rules. Instead of lessons and drills, you immerse yourself in real stories, podcasts, books, and videos. You encounter words in context, look them up instantly, and naturally absorb the language over time. This is language immersion that actually fits into your life. LingQ was co-founded by Steve Kaufmann, a polyglot who has learned 20+ languages using this exact approach. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🆚 HOW LINGQ IS DIFFERENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Unlike Duolingo, Babbel, or Rosetta Stone, LingQ doesn't rely on gamification, repetitive drills, or synthetic sentences. Instead: ✅ You learn from REAL content — podcasts, books, YouTube, Netflix ✅ You choose topics you love — sports, history, comedy, true crime ✅ You build vocabulary from context — not flashcard lists ✅ You progress through immersion — not streaks or XP points If you've plateaued with other language learning apps, LingQ is the next step. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Massive Content Library Thousands of lessons from podcasts, books, interviews, articles, and more — all with matching text for simultaneous reading and listening. 📥 Import Anything Turn Netflix shows, YouTube videos, podcasts, ebooks, and web articles into interactive lessons. Your interests become your curriculum. 🤖 AI Language Learning Tools • AI Audio Transcription: Turn podcasts and audiobooks into interactive lessons • AI-Simplified Lessons: Access harder content earlier in your journey • Lynx AI Chatbot: Real-time tutor with web search built in • AI Voices: Natural text-to-speech for immersive listening 📊 Vocabulary Builder & Progress Tracking Track every word you've read, heard, and learned. Watch your known word count grow. 🔁 SRS Review & Karaoke Mode Spaced repetition vocabulary review for long-term retention. 🌍 Global Community • Writing exchange with native speaker corrections • Tutoring sessions tailored to your goals • Community challenges to build consistent habits ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 LINGQ PREMIUM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Unlimited vocabulary lookup and SRS review • Full word tracking and progress stats • Unlimited content imports • AI features included (expanded with Premium Plus) Download LingQ free and start learning from content you love today.

What's new

What's new: • Lessons from long videos play only their part, and playlists keep each video's position • Redesigned import screen, with more reliable voice recording and lesson imports • Phrase transliteration covers every word, and Japanese speaking scores treat kanji, kana and numbers alike • Fixes for known word counts, the archive and widgets
