Learn Spanish, French, German, Turkish or English by playing. Polyingo mixes 80+ language learning games, an AI tutor called Poly and a full A1–C2 grammar course, so practice feels like play and new words actually stick. 80+ GAMES, NOT DRILLS Half of them are arcade games. Catch words on the beat in Beat Parade, rebuild a sentence carriage by carriage on the Poly Express, swing from vine to vine, dig for words in Word Mine, or slide across the ice in Frost Slide. The classics are here too: mini crosswords, word scramble, treasure hunt, synonym sniper, speed translation, story quiz and chain reaction. Pick Easy, Normal or Hard and play at any level from A1 to C2. SPEAK SPANISH OUT LOUD Read a sentence aloud and speech recognition marks every word. Talk about a topic and the AI scores you from 0 to 100 with corrections. Listening games have you type or tap what you hear and catch the missing word, so your ear keeps up with your mouth. YOUR AI LANGUAGE TUTOR Chat freely with Poly, or switch to the Business Tutor or Travel Tutor. Tap any word for a definition, examples, synonyms, etymology or a grammar explanation, then practice writing with it while Poly corrects you. Tap any message for grammar feedback, better phrasing or a simpler version. Poly also writes short stories at your level and sentences about the things you care about. A REAL GRAMMAR COURSE, A1 TO C2 Every lesson gives you the rule and clear examples, explained in your own language, with mastery rings to track progress. Spanish grammar has 212 lessons, French 196, Turkish 192, German 184 and English 319, covering tenses, articles and cases, prepositions, conditionals, word order and more. Each lesson ends with a five-game practice session built for it. The whole course is bundled, so you can read it offline. A VOCABULARY BUILDER THAT REMEMBERS Save any word with its audio, translation and examples, tag it, and watch it move from New to Learning to Known to Mastered. Spaced repetition brings words back after 1, 3, 7, 16 and 35 days, and the "today" card shows what is due. Play games on just those words, or export them to CSV for your favorite flashcard tool. A DICTIONARY BY LEVEL Browse words, everyday routines, phrases, idioms and sentences from A1 to C2. Pattern search finds words by shape, like every four-letter word ending in "de". Tap a word to hear it, translate it or save it. Picture vocabulary adds 1,217 words in 38 themes, drawn as emoji, and works offline. HEAR IT THE WAY IT IS SAID Male or female voices, speed from 0.5× to 1.5×, and word-by-word highlighting. Choose Spanish from Spain or the US, French from France or Canada, and English with a US, UK, Australian or Indian accent. A HABIT YOU WILL KEEP Reminders bring daily new words and reviews of your saved words, spread through the day and never at night. Earn points, keep your streak, hit your daily goal and climb daily, weekly and all-time leaderboards, plus a chess-style ladder from Pawn to King. LEARN WITH OTHER PEOPLE Message other learners in the same inbox as Poly, share words and phrases to the community feed, follow friends and share your game results. START AT YOUR LEVEL Pick the language you speak and the one you want to learn, take the optional placement test (vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking and writing) to find your level, and choose a few interests to shape your feed. FREE AND PREMIUM Polyingo is free to download, with monthly allowances for AI chat, translations, voice and saved words, plus daily game replays. Premium is a monthly subscription that lifts the limits and adds AI-quality translations, natural voices, games built from your saved words, every dictionary category, reminders for any category and full grammar practice. Ready to speak Spanish, French or German with confidence? Download Polyingo and play your first game in a minute.
