Hey! We've been cooking this app for 7 straight years and we believe we can PROFOUNDLY CHANGE THE WAY LANGUAGES ARE TAUGHT. The best way to learn a foreign language is to immerse yourself in it by visiting the country, listening and talking to the native speakers. So we created the platform that gives the very same experience! OUR STORY 7 years ago, my father and I started learning a foreign language online but we soon realized there was something really wrong on the market. We learned several words and phrases but it was impossible to start speaking. Later on, we found a lot of people with the same problem and gave our entrepreneurial mindset, we set out a mission to create the platform that would truly give people a chance of learning a language. AFTER 7 YEARS of creating, testing and refining, HERE WE ARE! AVAILABLE LANGUAGES: · ENGLISH · SPANISH · FRENCH · ITALIAN · RUSSIAN with more than 5 intermediate languages. With Lingwing you will develop all necessary skills: · Speaking · Writing · Listening · Spelling and you’ll have time to improve your pronunciation. · Study in a chat-like interface · Native speakers will direct you · Every course is personalized by our algorithm · Our gamification tools will engage you · No need to memorize words or complex grammar, our algorithm lets you relax and focus on one task at a time. INSTANT RESULTS For us, the most important part is RESULTS. Just after a couple of days, you will realize you are already familiar with the chosen language and have the confidence to start speaking. TIME IS VITAL Imagine what you can do with our app within weeks! - Learn a new language from zero to a level when you will be able to read a newspaper, watch the news, understand your favourite music lyrics, listen and talk to native speakers.
