About

Lingo Times

Features
Read full description

Build a more advanced vocabulary through real news. Lingo Times helps you go beyond basic phrases by reading about the world in the language you’re learning. News introduces the kinds of words that show up in real conversations, articles, interviews, school, work, and travel: politics, culture, business, sports, technology, and everyday life. Instead of memorizing vocabulary in isolation, you see words used in context. Tap what you don’t know, save useful words, and review them over time.
