About this app

Based on the latest research in collective intelligence and AI, Lingvist quickly predicts your current level & identifies which words will be most useful for you to learn next.

You can now learn 16 languages from English, including the culturally rich Japanese, Korean and learn Scandinavian languages Swedish, Danish and Norwegian.

You're eligible for a 14-day free trial of Lingvist.

Lingvist helps you cultivate a healthy learning routine & informs you about the optimal amount of daily study time. Lingvist keeps you challenged and tracks your progress.

With the help of a spaced repetition algorithm & AI that learns from our user base, Lingvist presents you with problems that are on the tip of your tongue, just as you’re about to forget them.

Lingvist is designed for people who want to take their comprehension to the next level. Alongside a deck based on the most frequently used words, you can tailor the course with handcrafted decks in specialist subjects, so you’ll be ready for the language encounters relevant to you.

You can even study to have comfortable conversations about niche topics by uploading a textbook or Wikipedia article & having Lingvist generate a custom deck based on the content which presents your target vocabulary in a variety of realistic contexts.

Lingvist doesn’t replace the most fun part of learning a language – speaking it with real people – instead, it will give you a firm foundation of vocabulary, with grammar tips concisely integrated in the experience, allowing you to rely on whatever balance of intuition and logic suits you best.

If you want to reach your language learning goals faster, whether it's fluency & pronunciation, confidence, or more technical vocabulary, there’s no app like Lingvist. Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced language learner, there’s always a new idiom or grammatical structure to learn.

I'm learning German, and the vocabulary is generally useful for actual life, the pacing is nice and example sentences are appropriate. More often than I would like, though, the translation is ambiguous (not specifying the type of word, its number or its case) resulting in "failing" and having to repeat a word that you might know perfectly. In some rare cases the translations are plainly wrong. I expect more from a paid subscription this expensive. Still my favorite language app.

Best learning language app so far! It stands out with its simplicity, a core functionality having its central place, allowing you to focus on what matters most without unnecessary flashy distractions. One downside is that it often takes a very long time to see reported translation issues getting fixed. Nevertheless, it assisted me in my journey for the past 10 years and I'm still amazed by the results regarding vocabulary and developing a "feeling" about what is right in given context.

I do not recommend this app for vocabulary. I paid for 1 year (very expensive!) and I am not going to renew it. I am at B1 level of German and wanted to increase the number of words, which is basically the ONLY thing this app is trying to do (grammar, listening etc. are abysmal). The main deck has so many wrong words and sentences, it's frustrating. Also, "mute word" doesn't appear in the options sometimes, so you are forced to input wrong translations...

Thank you for the feedback. Our English to German language course was recently checked by several professional linguists and the results of this check showed extremely high quality and almost non-existent error rate. However, if you still don't like it for whatever reason, you can create your own German course using the "Custom Decks" feature :)
