## What is Lingard?

Learn Spanish by reading what you actually enjoy. Lingard turns books, daily news and audio into Spanish practice: tap any word to see its translation in context, listen along sentence by sentence, and keep new words with spaced repetition until they stick. Learning French, German or English instead? Everything works the same way in all four languages.

## Graded books in Spanish, French, German and English
Books are adapted to your level (graded readers), so you can enjoy a real story even as a beginner. More than 1,000 books, dialogues, non-fiction summaries, podcasts and retold plots of popular films and TV series, sorted into six levels from beginner to proficiency (A1–C2). Not sure where to start? Take the CEFR level test in your profile and Lingard will suggest texts that match your level.

## Daily news in Spanish, French, German or English
Short news stories on a range of topics, updated every day. A few minutes of reading in your new language a day, with a fresh topic each time.

## Tap a word, get the meaning
See the translation in context, example sentences, synonyms, antonyms, phrasal verbs and word families, plus an AI-powered dictionary, without leaving the page. Translations are shown in your native language.

## Listen and read along
Every sentence has audio. Follow the text as it plays, change the speed, loop a sentence and repeat it out loud to train your listening and pronunciation. Audiobooks are synced with the text.

## Remember vocabulary for good
Save Spanish words from any book or article with one tap. Lingard's spaced repetition system (SRS) turns them into flashcards and brings each one back right before you would forget it. Before every session, choose whether to learn new words or review, and see how much is left for today.

## 200+ ready-made vocabulary lists
Topic-based word lists in Spanish, French, German and English for when you want to start right away.

## Check what you understood
Answer questions about what you read, with every mistake explained. Grammar rules and interactive quizzes help it stick.

## Speak with confidence
Say words and phrases out loud: Lingard listens and checks your pronunciation. Spelling practice helps you write them correctly too.

## Read your own books
Import ePub, PDF, DOCX and other files in Spanish, French, German or English and read them in the original with the same tap-to-translate dictionary, word saving and practice.

## Learn with friends
Keep a shared streak with a friend and climb the weekly leaderboard together.

## Sync across devices
Sign in to keep your books, vocabulary, progress and subscription in sync across your devices and platforms.

Lingard is for beginners who want simple Spanish texts with translation, for intermediate learners who need lots of real reading to move forward, and for anyone who would rather read a good story than drill isolated phrases.

Lingard teaches four languages: Spanish, French, German and English. Open your first book today.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-10-01*

One of those apps that is free to download then makes you do a pointless questionnaire before trying to make you sign up for a really expensive subscription. Waste of time.

**Developer response:** Hi Jedoakley! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify how the app is structured.

The initial questionnaire is not pointless; it is specifically designed to assess your current language level and interests so we can tailor the reading materials to your exact needs. Furthermore, while we do offer a premium subscription for advanced tools like unlimited sentence translations, a large portion of our reading and listening content is available entirely for free. You do not need to purchase a subscription to start learning.

If you would like guidance on how to navigate past the subscription screen and access the free materials, please reach out to us at hello@lingard.app or through the in-app Settings > Support. Our team will gladly help you get started.

### 5/5 — Я обязательно оплачу подписку

*2026-09-29*

, когда у россиян появится такая возможность. Приложение очень крутое. Определило исходный уровень языка и подобрало подходящие материалы.

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение

*2026-09-29*

Добрый день! Уже второй год пользуюсь платной версией данного приложения. Сделала себе такой подарок на Новый год. Хочу поблагодарить разработчиков. Мне приложение очень помогает поднять разговорный английский. Можно придумать разные методы изучения. Сделать скорость поменьше и повторять за диктором. Просто слушать и пытаться понимать, читать самостоятельно. Все это только на пользу. Последние изменения с переводом, прослушиванием и самостоятельным чтением вслух вообще супер помогают не боятся своего произношения.  На мой взгляд, если цель правда серьезно поднять уровень английского, а в моем случае это часть моей работы для общения с коллегами, то цена вменяема, очень много материала. За два года не все прочла)))

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Огромное спасибо за такой потрясающий и подробный отзыв! Для всей нашей команды лучшая награда — знать, что Lingard уже второй год помогает вам уверенно общаться с коллегами.

Вы выбрали абсолютно профессиональный подход к обучению. Комбинирование аудирования, изменения скорости и чтения вслух — это самые эффективные методы для преодоления языкового барьера и постановки речи. Мы особенно счастливы слышать, что наши последние обновления помогли вам перестать бояться своего произношения! Именно ради таких результатов мы и работаем.

В нашей библиотеке еще очень много интересного материала, так что впереди у вас много увлекательных часов. Желаем дальнейших успехов в английском и блестящей коммуникации на работе!

### 5/5 — 매우 만족

*2026-09-05*

일일이 단어 뜻 찾을필요도 없고 언어는 인풋이 중요한데 인풋 늘리기에 딱입니다! 영어에 비해 공부 자료가 적은 스페인어도 있어서 너무 좋아요

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요! '매우 만족'이라는 멋진 제목과 함께 정성스러운 리뷰를 남겨주셔서 정말 감사합니다! 

언어 학습에서 '인풋(Input)'이 가장 중요하다는 말씀에 저희 팀도 100% 공감합니다! 단어를 일일이 찾느라 흐름이 끊기는 일 없이, 문맥 속에서 자연스럽게 읽기 양을 늘릴 수 있도록 돕는 것이 바로 Lingard의 핵심 목표랍니다.

영어 외에도 스페인어 학습 자료에 만족해주셔서 정말 기쁩니다. 앞으로도 스페인어를 포함해 더욱 다양하고 유익한 콘텐츠를 꾸준히 업데이트할 예정이니 기대해 주세요! 고객님의 즐거운 스페인어 학습 여정을 항상 응원하겠습니다. ¡Mucho éxito!
