User reviews

Good with limits

Overall, I like this app and pay for the monthly subscription. One area I have been needing work on in my language journey is an outlet to practice listening. This app helps fill in those gaps, although, there a few aspects I would change regarding the saved vocabulary feature.

Overall, I think this app is worth it. It’s less complicated than finding level appropriate YouTube videos

Good for reading in another language

But you do have to pay

Comparison to DuoLingo

I think DuoLingo is a good app but LingQ is better because it is more immersive. The lesson have more complex word formation but the repetitions of the words creat better learning.

Must Have App

Still the reigning champ of language Apps. CI, RWL, tons of available content. Spaced Repetition.

Very engaging

I had plateaued in my French studies and this app got me excited to restart my studies. There are lots of different ways you can use this app to learn and tons of interesting material to work with in your studies. I notice huge proficiency gains in less than 8 weeks
