Lingvis - Language Learning

Start using the Lingvis app today to learn Finnish or Swedish! Lingvis is a free language learning app that helps you learn authentic language by reading, watching, and listening to current and real-world media content. *NEW* Major update adding three *new* SPEAKING exercises: listen, read aloud and shadow. Activate the muscles engaged in speaking to automate your speech. Based on your chosen language skill level (A1-C2), users can navigate four five content categories between Articles, YouTube Videos, Books and Podcasts, to further develop their language knowledge and understanding of culture and society in Finland. Main features of the Lingvis app include: * Integrated dictionaries from Finnish to 18 and from Swedish to 32 common immigrant languages in Finland. * save words from media texts into your personal word list that you can access through your personal learning profile page to revise and turn into Flashcards or Multi-choice exercises. * Personal Learning Profile, where the App monitors your learned vocabulary corresponding to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) (levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2), offering text markup according to learning relevance GREEN - words you should already know; YELLOW - words to learn now; RED - words to learn later. * Gamification both with streak, reading/learning points and activity monitoring where you can set personal daily goals * The Simplified articles feature will allow you to adapt a wide range of news articles to your language skill level using AI. Just open the news article with the “simplifyable” icon in reading mode using the magic wand button and then tap the “simplify” button. Please note that simplification using AI occasionally might affect the meaning somewhat. For fact check, always go to the original version of the article. The Lingvis app can also help you master grammar. When you look up words, it is showing their grammar properties in badges inside the popup. You can tap badges to read explanations for that specific grammar property, or you can read them full-screen and explore the full grammar resource. You can also select a grammar rule in the grammar's Contents, and the app will find and mark all examples of that rule in all texts that you read. We believe access to knowledge should be free and so is our app. No hidden costs and no advertisements to disturb your learning experience. NB! Don’t forget to register an account with your email for back-up and to see your progress.

If you registered an account with Yle Kielikoulu Yle Språkskolan it can and should be used with this new app too. It allows you to continue building on the same learning profile.
