For most language learners, moving from ‘understanding’ to ‘communicating’ is difficult. Those first conversations are stressful and don’t get any results.
This is where Polygloss comes in. Our mission is to help language learners be independent and enjoy life using a foreign language.
How do we do it?
Polygloss is an image guessing game that offers you sufficient interaction, guidance and lets you express yourself with freedom. Using new words, in your own personal context, is the best method for increasing your vocabulary. Better than simply reading, re-reading and memorizing words out of context! Polygloss works, is science-backed, and was awarded best paper* at the 9th NLP4CALL workshop series at The University of Gothenburg.
Why does it work? It is normal for language learners to experience more language exposure than language creation. Language creation is hard and needs to be nurtured.
There are different ways to increase your active vocabulary (words that you have the ability to use, not just understand). This includes intense repetition, consuming content you enjoy (books, series, movies), flashcards, etc. These methods are great and should be part of any language learners tool kit.
But, there is another way to increase your active vocabulary. Simply by using words. Ideally in your own personalized context.
And that’s why Polygloss works. It allows you to start communicating in a low stress environment. Helping you easily increase your active vocabulary and communication confidence.

Comments on Polygloss: Learn Languages for Android
★★★★★F. Nisa· Oct 12, 2024
This app is one of the best tool to learn writing (for languages learner). I've gotten so much benefit using it, especially when I need to expand my vocals, arrange some sentences, and remember grammar structure of my target languages. Thank you so much 👍
★★★★☆Claire G.· Apr 10, 2025
Cool concept, granted you know enough in your chosen languages to write simple image descriptions. That can be more challenging than other learning systems! But also more fun.
★★★★★Nicole· Sep 22, 2025
This is a fun and easy way to get language practice that perfectly scales with your proficiency level
★★☆☆☆Swea Azock· Jan 28, 2023
Very slow, nice idea tho. It takes FOREVER to load. I can't learn when I need to wait 2 minutes for the picture to load. Also, it's not for beginners for maybe intermediate-beginners but not for beginners.
★☆☆☆☆Caitlin· Sep 24, 2024
Lots of languages available but NOT FOR BEGINNERS. You're given an image, and you have to describe it in a language you don't know to a partner, so they can guess what the image is. If I have zero words of vocabulary, that's not super helpful? I now realize from reading reviews that the developers are very specific about this being intended for intermediate level learners. I'd LOVE for them to retitle the game Polyglots: PRACTICE Languages then. It's misleading + frustrating.

This app seems to have stopped working. My account (which I've had for two years) won't work, forgot password isn't working, create new account isn't working and the contact email address rejects emails. The whole thing seems to be dead.
