Can our experiences with the LingQ language learning app confirm that promise after a thorough LingQ review?

Each text is recorded by a native speaker, enabling sustainable, multi-sensory learning. The program draws on a particular scientific approach called \u201cExtensive Reading,\u201d which we\u2019ll discuss later.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Because the program fully omits explanations and grammar study, absolute beginners &#8211; especially in languages that are not close to English  &#8211; will struggle to make progress. The somewhat unintuitive interface doesn\u2019t help matters, either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Still, LingQ has a lot to offer and is a fantastic platform for more advanced learners or those returning after a break. An active community and solid value for money round out the platform. Despite its shortcomings, we think it\u2019s worthwhile for many language learners! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/lingq\" style=\"background-color:#f4ab51\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/go\/mosalingua noopener\"><strong>Try LingQ for Free<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nBelow you\u2019ll find our detailed review.

In total we chose two target languages: Korean, which I do not speak, and Spanish, in which I already have a basic foundation in (A2). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nThis approach helps illustrate how LingQ handles different proficiency levels, as well as two fundamentally different languages (including one with a foreign alphabet).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">By the way, LingQ isn\u2019t just any language app &#8211; its learning concept was developed by language whiz Steve Kaufmann. And that\u2019s no small claim: the polyglot speaks more than 10 languages! If you want to learn more about him and his language tips, don\u2019t miss <a href=\"\/blog\/polyglot-im-portrait-steve-kaufmann\/?nyt=1\">our article on the topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"scope-and-features-what-does-lingq-offer-in-this-review\">Scope &amp; Features: What Does LingQ Offer in This Review?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nLingQ focuses heavily on independent study and creating flashcard-style \u201cLingQs.\u201d The platform provides users with a massive range of authentic text and audio materials that you can use to create your own LingQs. There\u2019s also a built-in vocabulary trainer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nWhich languages can you learn here, how are the courses structured, and what unique features does LingQ have to offer?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"available-languages-and-levels\">Available Languages and Proficiency Levels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">LingQ\u2019s selection of learning languages is enormous and growing fast! Since our first test in 2017, the number of languages offered has more than doubled. Currently, 23 languages have a full-version course, while another 28 are in beta. Beta languages are already accessible to learners; they\u2019re simply less complete and offer fewer materials as of now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">LingQ currently supports 51 languages in total: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Languages1.jpg\" alt=\"Languages LingQ Pt. 1\" class=\"wp-image-1034\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1249\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Languages2.jpg\" alt=\"LingQ Languages Pt. 2\" class=\"wp-image-1036\" style=\"width:178px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nA Spanish course is also available in the full version.

In many of the beta languages, current materials only go to around A2 or B1, but the plan is to expand them to C1 level in the future.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nThere\u2019s no distinction between different course types, like business courses. Everyone can learn at any level in the standard course and can also import or create custom content. Various filters help you select by proficiency level and desired materials.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"unique-features-a-wide-array-to-explore\">Unique Features: A Wide Array to Explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nThe centerpiece of LingQ is a massive library of texts and audio files for independent reading, listening, and learning. In addition, you can import your own texts, images, and audio files. You can group and organize these into personal lessons as you wish. Likewise, you can export official LingQ course files to your devices so you can use them outside the app.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nAnother handy feature is LingQ\u2019s community. In a large forum, you can interact with other users and native speakers on various topics. Beyond the classic forum, there\u2019s a \u201cChallenges\u201d tab where new learning challenges are posted on a regular basis.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Writing-Exchange.jpg\" alt=\"Writing Exercises\" class=\"wp-image-1039\" style=\"width:650px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Part of the Community Tab: Writing Exchange<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nAnd that\u2019s still not all: In another tab, you can submit short texts for free corrections by other users. Of course, this also works the other way around\u2014you can correct texts from other learners. All three features nicely complement the main learning materials!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nThere\u2019s also a \u201cTutors\u201d feature: similar to language tutor marketplaces like <a href=\"\/en\/go\/italki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iTalki<\/a> and <a href=\"\/en\/go\/preply\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Preply<\/a>, you can connect with a private native-speaking teacher to hold a conversation or get longer texts corrected.

It\u2019s motivating to maintain &#8211; or even improve &#8211; your position on these lists. There\u2018s a personal score as well to compare yourself to past times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"user-friendliness-how-easy-is-lingq-to-use\">User-Friendliness: How Easy Is LingQ to Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nA visually appealing design is great, but it also needs to be easy to navigate. What were our experiences with the LingQ user interface?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"app-versus-web-in-our-lingq-review\">App vs. Web in Our LingQ Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nBased on our experiences with the LingQ language learning app, it works on virtually every device. I tested LingQ on an Android phone and an iOS tablet, as well as in the browser, to see how the various versions differ. One thing becomes clear right away: the mobile version is more limited in some respects.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nWhile the app does have the core features of the learning process\u2014creating LingQs, working with texts and audio, and practicing vocabulary\u2014some advanced features like the Community or Tutor Sessions are missing. You can import and export files from mobile, but that\u2019s about it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:cover {\"url\":\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/talkREAL-Sprachkurse-Testubersicht-800.jpg\",\"id\":28719,\"dimRatio\":50,\"focalPoint\":{\"x\":0,\"y\":0.47},\"minHeight\":400,\"customGradient\":\"linear-gradient(90deg,rgb(80,71,63) 50%,rgb(232,232,232) 100%)\",\"isDark\":false,\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter is-light\" style=\"min-height:400px\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim wp-block-cover__gradient-background has-background-gradient\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(90deg,rgb(80,71,63) 50%,rgb(232,232,232) 100%)\"><\/span><img class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-28719\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/talkREAL-Sprachkurse-Testubersicht-800.jpg\" style=\"object-position:0% 47%; position: absolute; z-index: -10; margin-left: -25em; filter: brightness(70%);\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"0% 47%\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container\"><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":32}},\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-welcome-to-neve-this-is-a-hero-section\" style=\"font-size:32px; padding-top: 2em;\"><strong>\u2012 The Best Language Course of 2025 \u2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":23}},\"textColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:23px\">We\u2019ve tested dozens of language courses\u2026<br>But only ONE takes the #1 spot!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"20px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:group -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:buttons {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"flex\",\"justifyContent\":\"center\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><!-- wp:button {\"className\":\"is-style-primary\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/mondly-review\/\"><strong>Show Me the Best Course<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:button --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:buttons --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group --><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:cover -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">The app does include a \u201cForum\u201d tab, but tapping it just redirects you to the web interface, where you must log in again to participate in discussions or ask questions. It\u2019s a bit clunky and could be streamlined, especially since many other providers offer an in-app forum experience. There\u2019s also no direct mention of the Tutor tab in the app &#8211; by my observation, it doesn\u2019t seem to exist there at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Because of this, the app is handy for learning on the go, but to access the additional features, you should switch to the browser version &#8211; which in my view is also much more organized and intuitive. Navigating from there is easier overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"lots-of-explanations-little-clarity\">Lots of Explanations, Little Clarity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nLingQ\u2019s user interface isn\u2019t exactly straightforward, partly because there are so many features. When you first sign up and pick a target language, you\u2019ll be bombarded with a large number of lesson choices. And even after you settle on a starting lesson, the interface doesn\u2019t get much simpler: there\u2019s a swarm of menus and buttons.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nFortunately, LingQ seems aware of this and provides pop-ups with mini-tutorials during your first few days. That\u2019s great! The issue is that each explanation only appears once. If you tap \u201cOK,\u201d LingQ assumes you\u2019ve got it figured out. With so many functions, you probably won\u2019t remember everything at once, and you may still have to click around to figure things out later.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Landing-Page.jpg\" alt=\"LingQs Landing Page\" class=\"wp-image-1046\" style=\"width:662px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">LingQ\u2019s browser homepage: there\u2019s a lot to see and do<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nOnce you get used to the interface, you\u2019ll generally find what you need. But note that the browser and app versions differ in some key ways, so it takes a bit longer than usual to really settle in. This could definitely be improved.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nVisually, though, LingQ is appealing\u2014neither too dull nor overly bright. Lessons often come with a small image. These don\u2019t always match the theme but help break up the text. While navigating, you\u2019ll also see various icons instead of text buttons, giving the interface a friendlier feel. No complaints there!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"many-options-for-a-personalized-learning-experience\">Many Options for a Personalized Learning Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nNow for a very positive note about LingQ\u2019s interface: you can extensively customize the LingQ Reader (the main area where you do your lessons). You can adjust the font size and style, choose the voice for the text-to-speech function, change your learning goals, and even decide which exercise types to disable if you don\u2019t like them.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Reader-Settings.jpg\" alt=\"LingQ Reader Settings\" class=\"wp-image-1048\" style=\"width:696px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Snapshot of all settings within the lesson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nThere are more customization options here than with most other providers. Many of them don\u2019t drastically affect your learning, but they give the app a personal touch.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nNavigating this menu is also straightforward, as everything is clearly labeled. We\u2019d love to see this clarity carried over to more parts of LingQ!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"user-friendliness-summary-lingq-review\">Interim Conclusion: User-Friendliness in the LingQ Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nAlthough LingQ\u2019s interface looks good, actual navigation is a bit awkward at first. There\u2019s also a pretty big gap between the browser and app versions in terms of design and features. I do like the quick pop-ups meant to guide you, but they need to appear more often and cover more functions. Once you get into the groove, navigation is fine, but there\u2019s still room for improvement!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nOn a positive note, the settings menu is excellent: you can tweak even tiny aspects to personalize the interface, and that\u2019s definitely a keeper.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"didactic-approach-how-successful-is-lingq-learning\">Didactic Approach: How Successful Is Learning with LingQ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nThe learning process is at the heart of any language program. What were our impressions of LingQ\u2019s didactic concept in this review?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"no-annoying-grammar-drills-here\">Annoying Grammar Drills? Not Here!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nEach language consists of many lessons\u2014often multi-page texts with corresponding audio. These recordings are voiced by native speakers, making them especially authentic. As a learner, you hear accurate pronunciation from the start, rather than a robotic computer voice. That\u2019s fantastic!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nWhen you open a lesson for the first time, the entire text is highlighted in blue. That indicates you haven\u2019t created any LingQs yet and therefore don\u2019t \u201cknow\u201d any words. You can click on individual words to add a translation\u2014this creates a LingQ. On the right side, you\u2019ll see the three most common translations chosen by other learners. You can pick one of those or add your own. If you already know some words, you can mark them as known with another button.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Lesson1.jpg\" alt=\"Lesson Snapshot LingQ Review\" class=\"wp-image-1051\" style=\"width:678px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Choosing your preferred translation to create a LingQ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nAfter picking a translation, you can add personal notes (like memory tips) and view common example sentences. You can even post a question about that word to the forum, which a tutor may answer. You\u2019ll also see a small scale showing how often you\u2019ve come across the word and your approximate knowledge level for it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nWords you mark as known turn yellow and appear as such in future lessons. In theory, you\u2019ll see them again in various contexts and gradually absorb their usage and meaning. So far, so good\u2014does it actually work that well based on our experiences with the LingQ language learning app?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"i-work-you-work-are-these-two-words-or-one\">I Work, You Work\u2014Two Words or One?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nIt\u2019s an innovative concept that works really well\u2014if implemented correctly. Unfortunately, I ran into problems during my LingQ review. One major issue is that LingQ doesn\u2019t always recognize multi-word expressions as a single unit. For example, in a sentence like \u201cHe steps out of the room,\u201d the phrase \u201csteps out\u201d might be split into separate words \u201cout\u201d and \u201csteps\u201d (depending on the language).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nSometimes the context clarifies things, but for non-Romance languages, with a completely different grammar system, it can be confusing and lead to serious misunderstandings or learning mistakes. Occasionally, the translations LingQ suggests in a given context are just plain wrong.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:cover {\"url\":\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/talkREAL-Blog-Sprachkurs-Rabatte-Cover.jpg\",\"id\":34076,\"alt\":\"Frau und Mann freuen sich \u00fcber Sprachkurs-Rabatte\",\"dimRatio\":70,\"overlayColor\":\"nv-dark-bg\",\"isUserOverlayColor\":true,\"minHeight\":400,\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-34076\" alt=\"Frau und Mann freuen sich \u00fcber Sprachkurs-Rabatte\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/talkREAL-Blog-Sprachkurs-Rabatte-Cover.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" style=\"position: absolute; z-index: -10; margin-left: -25em; filter: brightness(70%);\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-nv-dark-bg-background-color has-background-dim-70 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container\"><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":32}},\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-welcome-to-neve-this-is-a-hero-section\" style=\"font-size:32px; padding-top: 1.25em;\"><strong>\u2012 Language Course Discounts \u2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":23}},\"textColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:23px\">Find the best <strong>discounts and exclusive coupons<\/strong> for top <br>language courses here!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"25px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:group -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:buttons {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"flex\",\"justifyContent\":\"center\",\"orientation\":\"horizontal\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><!-- wp:button {\"className\":\"is-style-primary\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/discounts-language-programs\/\"><strong>See All Discounts<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:button --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:buttons --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"25px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\"><strong>+ + + Limited-Time Deals +++ Some Offers Expiring Soon +++ Don\u2019t Miss Out! + + +<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:cover -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nYes, you can manually combine several words into one LingQ\u2014but only if you already know they belong together. That\u2019s not ideal for beginners.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nAnother snag: different verb conjugations are treated as entirely separate words\u2014for instance, \u201ctrabajo\u201d (I work) and \u201ctrabajas\u201d (you work) become two independent LingQs. This undermines the concept of learning through context to some extent.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"learning-from-context-is-it-possible\">Learning from Context\u2014Is It Feasible?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nIn principle, the absence of grammar lessons isn\u2019t a bad thing\u2014coupled with abundant input, this method can work well and aligns with our brain\u2019s natural learning processes. (In fact, the method is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Input_hypothesis\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephen Krashen\u2019s Input Hypothesis<\/a>.)\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nHowever, these connections must be made clear, ideally grouping different forms of a word into families. By the way, if you want to optimize this approach, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.talkreal.org\/de\/lektionen\/1-hacklist-ubersicht\">ReadingHACK<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nSmall spoiler: It\u2019s crucial that you already know most of the words in a text (ideally 90-95%) to reasonably infer the rest. Under those conditions, it\u2019s a highly effective method that fits how our brains naturally learn. But it does mean, according to our experiences, that LingQ is better suited to learners with existing knowledge, not absolute beginners.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\n<strong>talkREAL Tip!<\/strong> If you like this learning style, you should definitely take a look at our innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.talkreal.org\/de\/lektionen\/4-transreal-der-lernmethodenhack\">transREAL Method<\/a>. It lets you learn languages intuitively and brain-friendly, without tedious memorization\u2014entirely on your terms!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"practicing-with-innovative-flashcards\">Practicing with Innovative Flashcards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Over time, you will pick up vocabulary from context, but to speed things along, LingQ includes a flashcard-like system. You practice your LingQs in four different exercise types based on whichever lesson you\u2019re in. There are different formats, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">On type of exercise is a standard flashcard. You see the foreign-language word, tap \u201cflip card,\u201d see the English meaning, and indicate if you knew it or not. The second exercise gives you a vocabulary item and four possible translations from which to choose. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Vocabulary1.jpg\" alt=\"Vocabulary Exercise\" class=\"wp-image-1055\" style=\"width:754px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Exercise example: Select the missing word<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Another exercise presents a foreign-language sentence with a blank, and you must fill in the missing word\u2014no native translation is provided, so it\u2019s all about context. Exercise 4 is a listening test, where you hear an audio clip of a single word and must type it out correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nAll of this nicely complements context-based learning. It helps you solidify vocabulary more quickly and securely. The exercises are diverse and address listening comprehension as well as text comprehension. The example-sentence task, in particular, improves word usage. Great stuff!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"the-issue-with-foreign-alphabets\">The Issue with Foreign Alphabets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nUnfortunately, here\u2019s another downside I discovered during my LingQ review: languages with entirely different alphabets (e.g., Asian languages) are taught (only) in those alphabets.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">For Japanese and Chinese, you can sometimes enable romanization, but not in all areas (like the exercises), and it\u2019s not always accurate. Korean or Russian, meanwhile, have no romanized \u201ctranslation\u201d anywhere in the texts or exercises &#8211; that could be improved!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Vocabulary2.jpg\" alt=\"LingQ Korean Vocab\" class=\"wp-image-1060\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">As a beginner, this task is nearly impossible to solve properly\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-text-color has-background\">This is problematic because there are no thorough lessons explaining the new alphabet. While some languages have intro lessons, they aren\u2019t enough to teach you to confidently read the script. Not all characters can be directly matched to an English letter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nTake Japanese, for example: there are no spaces between words in many texts, so you need to know precisely where a word ends. LingQ handles this automatically, but you won\u2019t learn to read a Japanese book that way. Also, a character can mean something entirely different depending on the sentence structure, so you can\u2019t just guess it without explanation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nAnother concern: in the typing exercises where you must input the correct translation, only the target alphabet is accepted. So you\u2019re expected not only to read and write but also to use complicated Asian keyboards. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nSo while it\u2019s entirely possible to learn a language without grammar lessons, that simply doesn\u2019t work for unfamiliar alphabets. LingQ urgently needs to address this, in my opinion. If you already read the script fluently, you\u2019ll be fine, but it\u2019s a deal-breaker for beginners. A shame!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"import-and-export-of-lessons\">Import and Export of Lessons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nA useful feature of this language program is the ability to export lessons from LingQ or import your own.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nYou can import almost anything: your own texts, images, and audio files, as well as pre-made e-books or even YouTube videos. Many of these can be added via drag and drop. You can also create your own lessons right in LingQ, which is handy if you want to focus on slang or idioms that might not be well represented in the official content.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Import-Lesson.jpg\" alt=\"Import a lesson into LingQ\" class=\"wp-image-1063\" style=\"width:644px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lots of settings to import a lesson!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nExporting lessons is also straightforward and convenient: next to the play button for audio files, you\u2019ll find a simple download button for the MP3.

The provider aims to keep users engaged through three channels: leaderboards, challenges, and a personal streak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Leaderboards are fairly self-explanatory. LingQ creates several of them across different categories, accessible via the Community tab. You can filter them\u2014for example, to see all users or just your friends, or to view a specific timeframe. The streak is similar, keeping track of how many days in a row you studied your target language with LingQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nThe final motivational tool is \u201cChallenges.\u201d You can join various ones\u2014for example, the \u201cStreak with Steve Challenge,\u201d which requires learning with the program for 90 consecutive days. It\u2019s fun and encourages consistency. Every month, new challenges appear, so it never gets stale. Fantastic!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"community-theres-lots-to-discover\">Community: There\u2019s Lots to Discover!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nIn combination with the leaderboards, the Community tab lets you create a detailed user profile, beyond just a username. You can upload a profile photo, link to your social media, and write a personal bio. You can also follow other learners and leave comments on their profiles.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nThis goes well beyond a standard forum and feels more like a social network. It\u2019s an excellent way to find native-speaking tandem partners or just chat with other learners. With a Facebook-style friend list, it\u2019s easy to connect and stay in touch. A really cool addition!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nBeyond that, you get standard forum features: you can post your own questions, answer others, and request corrections for your sentences and short texts. My experiences with the LingQ language learning app here were surprisingly positive. Unlike many other platforms, learners on LingQ are highly active and helpful. You rarely see an unanswered question or correction request\u2014a huge plus.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Tutors.jpg\" alt=\"LingQ book a tutor\" class=\"wp-image-1066\" style=\"width:700px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here you can search for and book language teachers, all according to your needs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nFinally, you can opt for professional text corrections or conversation sessions with a native speaker. The tutors aren\u2019t employed by LingQ; it merely serves as a marketplace, similar to <a href=\"\/en\/go\/italki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">italki<\/a> or <a href=\"\/en\/go\/preply\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Preply<\/a>.

However, absolute beginners will likely have a hard time with LingQ\u2019s teaching approach. If you\u2019re new to language learning, you might want to check out some alternatives.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nLingQ is ideal, however, for learners who already have some foundation in the language. One major advantage over classic vocabulary trainers is that you see words and phrases in the context of real sentences. That\u2019s also great for returning learners who need to refresh their skills.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:cover {\"url\":\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/talkREAL-Sprachkurse-Testubersicht-800.jpg\",\"id\":28719,\"dimRatio\":50,\"focalPoint\":{\"x\":0,\"y\":0.47},\"minHeight\":400,\"customGradient\":\"linear-gradient(90deg,rgb(80,71,63) 50%,rgb(232,232,232) 100%)\",\"isDark\":false,\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter is-light\" style=\"min-height:400px\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim wp-block-cover__gradient-background has-background-gradient\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(90deg,rgb(80,71,63) 50%,rgb(232,232,232) 100%)\"><\/span><img class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-28719\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/talkREAL-Sprachkurse-Testubersicht-800.jpg\" style=\"object-position:0% 47%; position: absolute; z-index: -10; margin-left: -25em; filter: brightness(70%);\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"0% 47%\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container\"><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":32}},\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-welcome-to-neve-this-is-a-hero-section\" style=\"font-size:32px; padding-top: 2em;\"><strong>\u2012 The Best Language Course of 2025 \u2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":23}},\"textColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:23px\">We\u2019ve tested dozens of language courses\u2026<br>But only ONE takes the #1 spot!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"20px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:group -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:buttons {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"flex\",\"justifyContent\":\"center\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><!-- wp:button {\"className\":\"is-style-primary\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/mondly-review\/\"><strong>Show Me the Best Course<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:button --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:buttons --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group --><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:cover -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nThanks to all the authentic audio recorded by native speakers, LingQ works especially well for auditory learners. Its abundance of written content also appeals to those who learn best by reading. So if you have high A and L scores, go for LingQ. <a href=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/blog\/yabla-review\">If you\u2019re more visually inclined, we recommend Yabla<\/a>, which has a similar but video-based approach.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nNot sure of your learning style?

Current LingQ pricing is structured as follows:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Costs-1.jpg\" alt=\"LingQ Costs 1\" class=\"wp-image-789\" style=\"width:385px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Premium Pricing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-LingQ-Costs-2.jpg\" alt=\"LingQ Costs 2\" class=\"wp-image-791\" style=\"width:377px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Premium Plus!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nAll basic features\u2014including most advanced ones like the community or file export\u2014are available in the free version. That\u2019s awesome! Some options have usage caps, such as only allowing five imported lessons.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/lingq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>View Offer<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nA Premium subscription, however, offers a few more perks. Notably, offline access, so you can study without burning through mobile data, and unlimited import\/upload capacity. You can also edit lessons and easily print texts. If you plan to use the app actively, especially on the go, Premium is worth considering.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">The difference between Premium and Premium Plus is smaller: you get 3,000 LingQ points monthly, worth about $25, which can be spent on tutor sessions or professional text corrections. You also gain access to some premium lessons, but given LingQ\u2019s already huge content library, that\u2019s not a big deal. You can buy points separately if needed, so for most learners Premium Plus isn\u2019t worth the extra cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"money-back-guarantee-lingqs-promise\">Money-Back Guarantee: LingQ\u2019s Promise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nLingQ doesn\u2019t offer a free trial, which is unusual. However, they do have a cool deal! LingQ promises a \u201cbreakthrough\u201d in language learning within 90 days\u2014though they don\u2019t define exactly what that means.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nIf you meet your daily learning goal for all three months but don\u2019t see improvement, you can request a 100% refund. That not only motivates you to use the app consistently but also ensures you\u2019re not taking a big risk, despite the lack of a traditional free trial.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:cover {\"url\":\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/talkREAL-Blog-Sprachkurs-Rabatte-Cover.jpg\",\"id\":34076,\"alt\":\"Frau und Mann freuen sich \u00fcber Sprachkurs-Rabatte\",\"dimRatio\":70,\"overlayColor\":\"nv-dark-bg\",\"isUserOverlayColor\":true,\"minHeight\":400,\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-34076\" alt=\"Frau und Mann freuen sich \u00fcber Sprachkurs-Rabatte\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/talkREAL-Blog-Sprachkurs-Rabatte-Cover.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" style=\"position: absolute; z-index: -10; margin-left: -25em; filter: brightness(70%);\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-nv-dark-bg-background-color has-background-dim-70 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container\"><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":32}},\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-welcome-to-neve-this-is-a-hero-section\" style=\"font-size:32px; padding-top: 1.25em;\"><strong>\u2012 Language Course Discounts \u2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":23}},\"textColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:23px\">Find the best <strong>discounts and exclusive coupons<\/strong> for top <br>language courses here!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"25px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:group -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:buttons {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"flex\",\"justifyContent\":\"center\",\"orientation\":\"horizontal\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><!-- wp:button {\"className\":\"is-style-primary\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/discounts-language-programs\/\"><strong>See All Discounts<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:button --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:buttons --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"25px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\"><strong>+ + + Limited-Time Deals +++ Some Offers Expiring Soon +++ Don\u2019t Miss Out! + + +<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:cover -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nFrom our experience, LingQ is fairly priced. The free version offers most core features, and a standard Premium subscription is quite affordable\u2014especially the multi-month plans. Premium Plus won\u2019t be necessary for most people, in our opinion. Either way, you should definitely try it\u2014free or paid!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nAnd remember: <a href=\"\/en\/go\/lingq\">it\u2019s usually cheaper to sign up on the website<\/a>, because you avoid app-store fees.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"alternatives-lingq-review-comparison\">Alternatives: How Does LingQ Compare to Other Providers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nNaturally, LingQ won\u2019t suit every learner.

Its platform is quite similar to LingQ, but instead of text and audio, Yabla features video-based lessons. It also offers an enormous quantity of authentic video content for each language\u2014often over 1,000 clips, and in some cases nearly 2,000.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/yabla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Try Yabla for Free<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/yabla-review\"><strong>Read Our Yabla Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nIf you already know a bit of your target language or are returning to study, Yabla could be perfect. Another plus: it offers excellent value for money, a free trial, and a money-back guarantee. There\u2019s little to lose with Yabla!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-background\" id=\"rosetta-stone-learning-without-tedious-drills\" style=\"background-color:#f3cb99\">Rosetta Stone \u2013 Learning Without Tedious Drills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">\nIf you can afford a bit more and want a nearly unbeatable didactic method, don\u2019t miss Rosetta Stone.

Most of them are well-executed, but it\u2019s not for every learner. Because it entirely omits grammar lessons and doesn\u2019t connect related words, newcomers may not make much progress. The handling of foreign alphabets and the interface\u2019s learning curve are also potential drawbacks.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/lingq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Try LingQ for Free<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nStill, we would recommend LingQ to many learners for its notable strengths. Perhaps the biggest is the vast library of authentic, professionally recorded material\u2014something you rarely find elsewhere. Since our brains need extensive input to learn a language deeply and sustainably, LingQ nails that aspect. The import\/export options and the well-conceived, active community are also fantastic.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">\nSo if you\u2019re already somewhat advanced in your target language or returning after a break, it\u2019s a great, budget-friendly complement to your usual study plan.
