## What is HyperLingua?

Our learning flow is built by the HyperLingua team, drawing on established language learning principles and natural language acquisition techniques. 

The focus is on practical, real-world communication rather than grammar-heavy study. Build your vocabulary first, train your pronunciation by listening and repeating, and reinforce your memory through active recall.

WHY HYPERLINGUA WORKS:

Practical Over Theoretical
Focus on real-world communication — not tedious grammar worksheets. 

Vocabulary Comes First
The foundation for fluency is vocabulary, not grammar. Aim to learn at least 30 new words a day using mnemonic associations. This is the element with the greatest impact on your progress.

Pronunciation Is Critical
You must learn to recognize words and produce them accurately. Daily listening and repeating drills are essential for developing authentic pronunciation and rhythm.

Grammar Is Absorbed, Not Studied
Grammar is learned by seeing correct sentences in context and using them, instead of drilling rigid rules. Grammar "comes with" massive input and output.

Active Recall & Retrieval Practice
The single most powerful exercise is active recall. Translate sentences aloud from your native language into the target language, check corrections, and repeat until you make zero mistakes.

Shadowing & Repetition
Listening and repeating (shadowing) is the optimal method for improving fluency. Listen to native audio and repeat entire sentences aloud, matching the native speaker's cadence. Just 5-15 minutes a day makes a massive difference!

LANGUAGES WE SUPPORT
We are on a mission to support 40+ languages! Currently, you can learn and practice the following live languages:
• US English
• GB English (UK)
• ES Spanish
• MX Spanish (Mexico)
• DE German

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2026-09-20*

I’ve really enjoyed using this app to learn French. It has definitely helped me feel more confident with French, and I look forward to using it each day. Highly recommended!

Update:  did the update, now it crashes immediately when I open it.

Udate #2: they responded surprisingly fast, acknowledged the issue, and quickly resolved the issue with Apple, and kept me informed on its status.  I wish more developers would behave this way.

### 5/5 — Learning Naturally And Fast

*2026-09-20*

Just awesome I love this app. This is the smart approach! It doesn’t hurt to supplement by looking up some grammar if something is confusing but this is like Pimsleur on steroids!

### 5/5 — The Best Model

*2026-09-20*

Build differently to other apps, it just fits my way of learning it turns out.   The founder clearly understands how we can learn a language more naturally, as we did as children.

### 5/5 — Finnisch fehlt 🇫🇮

*2026-09-20*

Das Prinzip finde ich gut und Fortschritte können sich sehen lassen. Allerdings würde ich gerne Finnisch lernen und das fehlt leider

### 5/5 — Great learning tool

*2026-09-20*

I’m in Spanish 101 and this app helps alot. The shadowing and recall feature are great! It’s nice to break large groups of words into sets of 20 at a time. New update is good but has some flaws and bugs that need to get fixed but still for paying for the pro+ features.

### 1/5 — New App Crashes on IOS 27

*2026-09-19*

Hello,

I have just moved to an iPhone 18 Pro running iOS 27.

HyperLingua crashes every time I try to open it.

I have already:

* Restarted the iPhone
* Deleted HyperLingua completely
* Reinstalled the latest version from the App Store

It still crashes immediately after opening.

Could you please advise? I would really like to continue using HyperLingua for learning Italian.

Thank you,
Charles

### 5/5 — Five Stars—Plus Some Feature Requests

*2026-09-19*

Definitely subscribing. This app will soon add to or replace my current Go-To language learning app.

### 5/5 — Good learning app

*2026-09-19*

It provides listening as well as active recall practice. The only thing that was lacking in my opinion was support for randomised spaced repetition, but they started to implement features for it. 

Additionally a mode that forces you to translate new combinations of previously learning vocabulary would help, I think. But I have no doubt that this app will keep getting better and better.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t working

*2026-09-19*

It doesn’t open on my phone.

### 5/5 — Exposure

*2026-09-19*

Using the shadow and active recall has been massive in the speed and quality of my learning experience. I also love the ability to upload your own sentences and incorporate them into your shadow and recall exercises. Great way to learn. Awesome app.
