## What is Lingophant?

Want to speak naturally and learn with phrases from real-life?

Build your own vocabulary with audio clips, that are authentic and with the correct pronunciation. Hold a button and record a native speaker. Or use it with your own teacher and remember every new phrase from class. Lingophant automatically creates a practice card and optimises the intervals between your practicing. 

Practicing feels much more effective than with others apps, your brain actually prepares for and with real situations.

We have starting content for 30+ languages. And then you fill up content from your own conversation, or by downloading phrasesets your teacher created. It works perfect for foreign language conversations, such as language tandems, chats with roommates, or colleagues at work.

Also great for travelers / people living abroad, since you can learn slang and accents you'd otherwise never remember that well.

Why does it work? 
- You have the context of a real human voice. 
- You focus on relevant content you personally need. 
- Practicing is designed for long-term memory and pronunciation.
 Context + Relevance + Spaced Repetition = Fast Learning

Focus on your own content, and have your cards always ready.

Designed for and by language learners.
