Learn Spanish by reading what you actually enjoy. Lingard turns books, daily news and audio into Spanish practice: tap any word to see its translation in context, listen along sentence by sentence, and keep new words with spaced repetition until they stick. Learning French, German or English instead? Everything works the same way in all four languages. ## Graded books in Spanish, French, German and English Books are adapted to your level (graded readers), so you can enjoy a real story even as a beginner. More than 1,000 books, dialogues, non-fiction summaries, podcasts and retold plots of popular films and TV series, sorted into six levels from beginner to proficiency (A1–C2). Not sure where to start? Take the CEFR level test in your profile and Lingard will suggest texts that match your level. ## Daily news in Spanish, French, German or English Short news stories on a range of topics, updated every day. A few minutes of reading in your new language a day, with a fresh topic each time. ## Tap a word, get the meaning See the translation in context, example sentences, synonyms, antonyms, phrasal verbs and word families, plus an AI-powered dictionary, without leaving the page. Translations are shown in your native language. ## Listen and read along Every sentence has audio. Follow the text as it plays, change the speed, loop a sentence and repeat it out loud to train your listening and pronunciation. Audiobooks are synced with the text. ## Remember vocabulary for good Save Spanish words from any book or article with one tap. Lingard's spaced repetition system (SRS) turns them into flashcards and brings each one back right before you would forget it. Before every session, choose whether to learn new words or review, and see how much is left for today. ## 200+ ready-made vocabulary lists Topic-based word lists in Spanish, French, German and English for when you want to start right away. ## Check what you understood Answer questions about what you read, with every mistake explained.
