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.

The more I use LincQ, the better I like it. I originally gave it 4 stars. My Italian is progressing at a markedly increased rate. To be honest, I use several apps and methods.

I love all the options and all the different ways you can self direct your learning, but I can't afford the premium subscription 🫠 I wish there was a 5-7 dollar tier with the infinite LingQ words, stats, and create lesson from imported content because that's honestly all I want out of the premium features I don't need the rest of it.

The best resource for language learning I've found! I have been using AI to generate custom materials at my level in subjects in interested in. lingq then creates audio for me and generates flashcards for words I don't know as I read. It has been revolutionary for me. My only issues: 1. It's expensive. 2. You cannot choose the speed of the audio you add to a lesson. For a beginner-friendly speed you have to slow it down after audio generation which creates distortion.

Translations are unnecessarily annoying, why can't you just introduce the option to show the sentence translation right below without having to translate sentence by sentence? Also, when the audio is playing, and you click on the "view sentence" button, it translates/selects a previous sentence, not the one that's being said by the audio.

Unimpressed. The free version with the 20 Lings when no instructions are provided for telling you that if you tap a word (even a simple word) that it is added to your list is poor. You should provide a training lesson to use the app, then reset the 20. At least I have Babel for life and the DuoLingo subscription can include up to 6 people, even if it's not ideal. This is overpriced for what it is. Paying to listen to Stromal and read the lyrics is silly. I can do that for free.
★☆☆☆☆Adelin G.· Jul 8, 2026
This up is sucks.... Doesn't start from the beginning, and doesn't have the translated version, you need to search for that, and besides that you are very limited and need to pay after few words.... VERY STUPID...
★★☆☆☆Jason· Jul 4, 2026
Honestly. They're forcing you to pay to fully learn the language when you can find a more similar free better version like satori reader. Also, the translations are sometimes wrong and the grammar guides are not very helpful sometimes and make no sense. Also, why are you limited to 20 LingQ's? Even if you delete them it doesn't let you learn more. It feels more like a cash grab than anything else. It'd be better if u could delete LingQ's. Ugh. The free version should have fewer restrictions.
