## What is Linguar?

Meet the person you're learning a language for.

Linguar is a language exchange app built on a simple idea: the fastest way to learn a language is to speak it with a real person. You're learning their language, they're learning yours. We match you up, help you past the awkward first messages, and get you from "hello" to a real conversation — in chat, on a call, or over a coffee.

FIND YOUR TANDEM PARTNER

Match with people learning your language while you learn theirs
Real people, real conversation — not another lesson app
Practice your way: text, voice, video, or in person when you're close by

TALK, DON'T JUST TYPE

Voice and video calls built in — fluency comes from speaking, and you can start the moment you're both ready
No phone numbers to swap, no switching to another app
Partner nearby? Take it offline — chat keeps the momentum going between calls and meetups

CHAT WITH AI ON YOUR SIDE

Stuck on a word or phrase? Get inline translations and explanations right in the conversation — no switching apps mid-chat
Understand what your partner actually meant, not just a literal translation
Reply with confidence, even early in your learning

TURN CONVERSATIONS INTO VOCABULARY

Highlight any word, phrase, or correction in chat and add it to your flashcards in one tap
A proper spaced-repetition trainer (with audio and images) schedules each card for the moment you're about to forget it
Your deck grows out of real conversations — words you'll actually use, because you already did

WHY LANGUAGE EXCHANGE WORKS

Textbooks teach you the language people are supposed to speak. A tandem partner teaches you the language they actually speak — the slang, the shortcuts, the culture behind the words. And because you're teaching them too, it never feels like studying.

BUILT BY A LEARNER

Linguar is built by an independent founder learning Vietnamese in Ho Chi Minh City — every feature exists because we needed it ourselves.

Linguar is free to use. Conversations are between you and your partner; you can report or block anyone who doesn't respect the community.

Find your tandem partner today — the person you're learning a language for is learning yours.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-04

Language Bites now start in the language you're learning.

• New bites open with your learning language already selected, so you write in it from the first line.
• Idea chips get you started: tell us about your day, use a new word, or try something you're not sure how to say.
• Replies come in the same language, so every bite is real practice. Mistakes are fine, that's the point.
• Small polish across the feed and bite details.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-03

New: a deck of conversation-topic cards in your chats — pick a difficulty, tap a card, break the ice
New: see your chat partner's local time and city right in the conversation, with a greeting in their language
Fixed: Vietnamese, Russian, and other scripts now render in a consistent font

### 1.0 — 2026-08-31
