Fun Language Learning | LingQ

I’ve used LingQ for 6-8 months now and my German level has skyrocketed. It’s unique as you can import Netflix shows, YouTube videos, ebooks and audiobooks and use them to learn. Obviously Steve Kaufmann’s record speaks for itself and his method is proven. I would recommend LingQ to any serious language learner!

Great app, lots of in built content but the real value is in bringing your own content in and turning it into learning material.

Import content from Netflix is revolutionary - everyday vocabulary that I get to choose myself from my favourite shows.

I’m learning Japanese and just using the free version. It really helps just hoping there’re more out of the box learning material. Secretly hoping the price comes down a bit.

The lingq system and website is a truly great way to increase your fluency in a language. Basically it's a huge library of audio recordings and transcripts in your given language. The idea is that by reading and listening for pleasure you significantly improve your brains familiarity with a language. When you have a new text the website highlights any words you haven't yet come across and offers up definitions that allow you to quickly add them to your flashcard list. The iphone app basically allows you to review your current texts and particularly the accompanying audio so you can listen to it when you have a spare moment. It also has a daily review of your flashcards. It really does afford great ability to learn on the go. It would be good if the daily flashcard reviews indicated when you had completed them. And the badge didn't reset just by openingb app. It'd be also good if you could easily add words to the word list just from your experience in other parts of the world. Also if you could have it auto play from lesson to lesson. Anyway the webservice basically cost $10 a month, but i tried a lot of different softwares and methodologies out to help my language learning and this is definitely worth it. It's very good, but it also has a lot of potential for improvement and I wish the developers good luck.

Cool little app. But I've only managed to open it once since downloading it last night. I've tried numerous times and have restarted my iPhone5. The app won't open and will simply shut down on its own. Please fix this issue. Also after I click to download a lesson, I get a message that there was an error every time, even if in all reality I can use it fine. I didn't manage to save any words though. I don't think it works with saving words contrary to your claim. Please fix this also. And I'll update my review. Thanks!

Just getting started with this particular platform, but so far I am in love with the fact that I can upload the many books, graded readers, vocabulary lists, and other written materials I’ve gathered this year and the AI feature automatically turns them into lessons that keep my interest and teach me a lot. Please note, it’s unwise to use this platform if you aren’t at least done with A1-level in your target language and preferably halfway through A2.

I’ve struggled to read in French but LingQ makes it very seamless and I’ve been able to read so much more than I would have otherwise. Would recommend if you are looking to increase your immersion in a foreign language. Also very easy to upload your own files and lessons.

The app is very poorly designed. I cannot figure out how to use it.

I have the paid version and found this just OK. I won't be using it much longer because it didn't live up to expectations. I went with this app because it showed the ability to quickly look up new vocabulary and save for later to study. Nouns must include singular and plural to properly study. Verbs must have full conjugations to study otherwise it's guess work especially when dealing with irregular verbs. On top of all this, I'm finding incorrect translations that create confusion. Automated translations are far from perfect. Bottom line is that I need a proper understanding when learning a language and the flaws definitely cause self doubt if anything is accurate. Real human made educational resources are best.
