We're dedicated to building the world's best AI app for language learning. Traditional apps build vocabulary. Langua builds confidence to speak - through immersive practice with intelligent AI that sounds authentic, corrects naturally, and adapts to your level. WHY LEARNERS CHOOSE LANGUA Maria C.: "I LOVE Langua! I've been using it daily for months. The chat feature is fantastic - it feels like talking to a real, empathetic language partner who corrects me and suggests more advanced phrasing. It's pressure-free and I'm encouraged by how much I'm improving both my intermediate German and my more basic Italian. I taught French for 27 years and have learned Spanish on my own in recent years. This is a fantastic tool for practicing speaking." Guy S: "Langua's AI is very sophisticated and, so far at least, not at all robotic. The conversations feel authentic. The AI provides very helpful feedback on each conversation and gives tips for improvement. Langua is invaluable for language learners like me who can't frequently visit the country where their target language is spoken." Featured in The Guardian and recommended by leading polyglots including Luca Lampariello, Olly Richards and English with Lucy. THE BEST AI FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH CONVERSATION Unlike apps that rely on multiple choice or scripted dialogues, Langua uses advanced conversational AI that lets you express yourself freely across 20+ languages: • Unlimited speaking practice with remarkably realistic AI characters - many cloned from YouTubers we partner with. Choose from multiple dialects. • Call Mode for hands-free practice: Have real-time voice conversations while driving, walking, or relaxing. No typing needed. • Instant corrections with explanations: Get feedback in one tap or review detailed reports after each chat. • Speak your native language when stuck: Can't find the right word? Switch languages mid-conversation and the AI will help you learn the phrase. • Huge conversation library: Roleplays, debates, grammar practice, vocabulary building, or free conversation about your interests. ADAPTS TO ALL LEVELS Whether you're just starting or already conversational, Langua adapts to you. Zero pressure to perform perfectly - our intelligent support features let you converse confidently at any level: • Reply suggestions when you're not sure what to say • Instant translations with usage examples • Innovative guided conversation course for beginners Advanced learners enjoy sophisticated conversations with cultural insights and colloquial expressions to break through the intermediate plateau. Practice freely, make mistakes, and learn in a judgment-free environment.

Words that actually stick. Most language apps are built around streaks, pressure, and guilt. Lengio isn't. It's a calm, beautifully designed visual vocabulary app that works with the way your brain actually remembers — through images, not endless text drills. LEARN THE WAY THAT WORKS FOR YOU Lessons Follow a guided path that builds naturally from the ground up, with mini-exercises after every concept to lock in what you've learned. Word Categories Browse thousands of words organised by topic across 25 languages. Words live across multiple categories so you encounter them in context — the way real fluency is actually built. Quizzes & Flashcards Spaced repetition built right in, so you review each word at exactly the moment you'd otherwise forget it. No wasted time, no drilling words you already know cold. AI Speech Partner Hold the mic and have a real, free-form conversation with an AI tutor in your target language. Gentle, contextual pronunciation feedback as you speak — like having a patient language partner available any time. 221,000+ WORDS. 25 LANGUAGES. From Arabic to Ukrainian, from Japanese to Portuguese — Lengio covers 25 languages with over 221,000 words, every one paired with an image to anchor it in visual memory. Because a word tied to a picture is a word you actually keep. MAKE IT YOURS Replace any stock image with a photo from your own camera roll. Your memories, your associations, your language. The more personal the image, the deeper the word sticks. FREE & PLUS Lengio is free to download. Core lessons, word browsing, flashcards, and daily reviews are included at no cost. Lengio Plus is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited daily reviews, the AI Speech Partner, all word categories, custom card images, and full Did You Know card access. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. No streak guilt. No leaderboards. No cartoon mascot judging your progress. Just a language app you'll actually want to open — every single day. Your next language starts right now. Support: https://lengio.app/support Privacy: https://lengio.app/privacy
