Muito bom

Vale a pena pegar a versão paga. Você ganha tempo principalmente escolhendo temas não tão complexos para melhorar o vocabulário, a confiança e a compreensão.

Obrigado pela ótima avaliação! Ficamos felizes que você está gostando de sua experiência com o LingQ!

Best language learning app/site there is

Great App. There wasn’t much Hungarian language material I could find. It is much more difficult to find material than Spanish. This app lets me take anything I find online and upload it as a lesson. Or even documents I have in Hungarian. By far the greatest app! It’s the only language learning app I pay for. I started from knowing 0. I saw a lot of things online that it would be difficult to use this from the beginning… I didn’t know a thing about Hungarian and am reading and listening to full stories now.

A great way to learn a language

I’ve been using LingQ for several years now just got serious with it in the last year. It’s great for reading and listening and building vocabulary in many different languages at once or a single one if you choose if I use it for both French in Spanish and I’m very happy with the content.

Well considered

A great platform that tracks my learning without providing supra-normal stimulation. Really solid method for progressing my language knowledge. Thanks for all the work you have put into it.

Mini stories

Excellent

Worth it

Good reading practice for whatever level. Consistency is key. 加油。Some pinyin isn’t exact for Chinese words but it’s easy to work around that.

Response from developer

Thanks! Consistency really is key. Glad LingQ is working well for your Chinese reading practice. If you spot specific pinyin errors, feel free to send examples to support@lingq.com so we can take a look. 加油!

Good system

I really like this system.

Best language learning app

I’ve learned thousands of new Chinese characters using this app. And I’ve also been using this app to listen and understand better. They also allow you to import content from YouTube or any other app. The LingQ system of learning is extremely effective. I can confidently say you can completely learn a language through this app alone (with a combination of talking with others). If you are serious about learning languages get this app. I don’t even write reviews often but this app is really that awesome. Probs to Steve and his team. 你们真的很棒

Thousands of new Chinese characters is serious progress! Great to hear you're also using LingQ for listening and importing your own content. Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review, and 谢谢你!

Best way to learn more vocab

Highly recommend to learn vocabulary. Really helpful once at B1 level

Great app

I think LingQ is a great way to learn languages. It might be the only way I really like cause the stories are more fun than other ways.

Best immersion app

I’ve tried lots of apps and courses over the years, but LingQ is the standout app for immersion. I’ve learned more
with this than any other.

Awesome language app

An amazing tool for learning languages in a freeing way. There’s everything you need to become a competent student in another language or two ! Revolutionary ! Still the best content & fun!

The head of marketing needs to learn some manners

I received a message from Mr Kaufmann, the head of marketing at LingQ, addressing me as “Hi there”. I do not answer to “Hi there” from strangers.

Great app but developers are unresponsive.

I’ve been using this app for 6 years and there’s been a few problems for years and they never get fixed. You can not highlight more than a few words at a time like in desktop which it’s important for denser texts with more complex structure. You can exit the app for a few seconds and it refreshes and it’s tedious to have look for and open the lesson again.

大好きなアプリ

2年前から使いはじめました。最初は続くかどうか不安でしたが、今では手放せない存在です。当初は1年間毎日学習したら自分の能力はどこまで成長するのか検証するために使いました。勉強時間を測れるのと、ポッドキャストやYouTubeをインポートして学べるのが気に入っています。ちょっと料金が高いのがネックですが、これからも使い続けようと思っておます。フランス語でスタートしましたが、今は英語とフランス語の両方を学んでいます!

Response from developer

That’s great to hear! Congratulations on your language learning success! Keep up the great work, and recommend LingQ to your friends. :)

LingQ Review

Reading, listening, talking and writing is key to language acquisition. LingQ is ideal in this respect, especially the former two inputs. However, with Ai the latter two inputs can now also be practiced. I have been using LingQ on and off for many years and I thoroughly recommend the platform. I found it particularly useful in the early stages of language acquisition with graded reading provision from A1 throughout to C1/C2 levels. Personally, I never used just used LingQ but also graded reading books on my Amazon kindle. These days I just use original novels in my target language which are at C1 to C2 level. I still use LingQ though, since I can fill in holes in my understanding. For example I find reported speech (news and newspapers) still challenging for certain topics such as politics and economics. In this respect, LingQs extensive provision still helps me to perfect my target language.

very unserious app

good concept but terribly designed. don’t bother waiting for support to respond, there are plenty of other alternatives out there.

LingQ Impressions

The LingQ concept is great, although the implementation is somewhat rough at best. The AI quality ranges from very poor to almost okay. Translations can range from being completely off base and marginally correct to good. The AI pronunciation is not infrequently absolutely terrible, and sometimes inaudible. I keep using it because it is the only software package of its kind and despite the shortcomings, I am learning a lot. Please work on making the software as amazingly fantastic as it can be.
