Your fluency isn't going to learn itself. Lingo Practice is a language learning app built for adults who want real results — not another app that treats you like a kid. You get an AI tutor (powered by Google Gemini) that teaches like a patient coach: it corrects your grammar, explains why, and keeps the conversation going. Free users get 15 AI turns a day — most apps gate the AI entirely behind a paywall. You get a CEFR placement test so you start at your actual level, not from "hello, my name is." You get spaced repetition that brings back the words you struggle with at exactly the right moment. 17 languages. A 7-day free trial to prove it works. No hand-holding. No participation trophies. Just tools that work. WHAT YOU GET AI Tutor & Chat Talk to an AI in your target language. Get real-time corrections, grammar explanations, and sentence practice. Text-based (no voice output), works across all 17 languages, remembers your conversation history. Free: 15 turns/day. Premium: 200 turns/day, shared across Chat + Tutor. CEFR Placement Test A short adaptive assessment the first time you open the app. We seed your starter vocabulary at your level. No starting from scratch if you're past it. Spaced Repetition The app tracks every word you learn — from lessons, the AI tutor, your own additions — and schedules reviews based on how well you know them. Vocabulary Builder Build your own word bank. Add words manually, from lessons, or from AI conversations. Each word includes translations, example sentences, audio, and the option to upload or generate an AI image to reinforce memory. Flashcards + Audio Trainer Interactive flashcards with examples, translations, audio, and favorites. Switch to Repeat Mode for passive listening — vocabulary while you walk, run, or commute. Text Generator (3 Modes) Generate articles, conversation simulations, or quizzes from your own vocabulary. Improve reading comprehension through guided exposure. 7 Vocabulary Games CrossWords, Word Hunter, Word Wiz, Image Match, Fill the Blank, Tap Pair, Dictation — all built from your personal vocabulary list. Practice without feeling like practice. Lessons + Verbs Curated lessons for all 17 languages. Create your own custom lessons and share them publicly. Dedicated verb section with conjugation practice. Speech Recognition Practice speaking with speech-to-text input. Note: this converts your speech to text for exercises — it does not score pronunciation or evaluate your accent. 17 LANGUAGES SUPPORTED Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil + Portugal), Russian, Spanish, Turkish. PRICING Free: 100 words, 50 credits, 15 AI turns/day. Premium: monthly, quarterly, or annual subscription. 7-day free trial available for engaged users. WHO THIS IS FOR Adult self-learners. Professionals learning for career advancement. Anyone tired of apps that assume you need an animated owl to stay motivated. If you want a language app that respects your time, download Lingo Practice. Your move. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Privacy Policy: https://www.lingo-practice.com/privacy
