LinguaLoop is a free language learning app that helps you remember vocabulary and grammar in 28 languages. Add your own words, phrases, and grammar rules, then automatically generate short, personalised stories that use them in context for better reading fluency, listening practice, and memory retention. LinguaLoop supports learning the following languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. Read along in your target language with an English translation for clarity. You can also listen to each story spoken aloud in a native-sounding voice to help you practise your listening. Unlike traditional flashcards, LinguaLoop helps you revise vocabulary and grammar in the context of how they're realistically used (e.g. in story form). Spaced repetition of vocabulary and grammar is also automatically applied across stories to ensure you don't forget them. Overall, revision through reading stories is more effective and enjoyable than rote memorisation of vocabulary & grammar with flashcards/notes. LinguaLoop is ideal for: - Learners wanting to revise languages in the context of how they're realistically read and spoken. - Learners preparing for exams who need to revise vocabulary and grammar quickly. - Anyone searching for an alternative to a flashcards/notes app that is automated and requires much less effort to set up & use. - Anyone looking for the best app for language review and practice. The app interface is in English, and translations are currently only available in English.
