LingQ
Learn languages naturally from podcasts, books and TV shows
LingQ is a language learning platform that teaches through real-world content such as podcasts, books, TV shows, and videos rather than traditional drills or gamified exercises. Users highlight unfamiliar words in context, and the app helps them review and retain vocabulary over time. The platform supports over 50 languages and uses AI tools to convert external content like Netflix shows or YouTube videos into interactive lessons.
Users import or choose content they enjoy, highlight unknown words in context, and LingQ uses spaced repetition and AI tools to help them review and retain vocabulary over time.
Language learners of all levels seeking a natural, immersion-based approach
