Lingo Repeta is built around one habit: meet a word, then meet it again on the days your memory needs it. Each review pushes the next one further out, and the Spanish and French words you have studied keep adding up until you can read, listen and talk with them. HOW THE REPETITION WORKS Every word you study is scheduled by spaced repetition along the forgetting curve. A word comes back shortly before you would lose it, and each correct answer makes the gap to the next review longer. Your daily plan shows today's new words and reviews. Finish early and you can start tomorrow's set or go through today's again. Words you get wrong in a quiz or an exam go into the review plan, so your mistakes come back too. FOUR WAYS TO TEST ONE WORD Listen and spell, multiple choice, typing, and for Japanese, handwriting checked by on-device recognition. The red/green sheet mode hides the reading or the meaning so you can quiz yourself. Every word gets its own AI-written example sentence with audio, so you hear it used in a full sentence. SPANISH AND FRENCH COURSES, A1 TO C2 A lesson has three parts. A teacher acts out a real dialogue line by line, each line voiced and translated, playing through on its own. Next, the lesson's grammar is explained in English. Then it is your turn: you speak your lines in scene dialogues and the AI comments on each answer. Leave halfway and the lesson waits where you stopped. STORYCAST Talk with AI characters in real time and steer the plot with your choices. In voice mode you listen and speak instead of typing. Each session ends with scores for speaking, vocabulary, grammar and comprehension, and your conversation rewritten as a short bilingual story to read back. JAPANESE AND KOREAN Japanese: JLPT N5 to N1 word lists and Minna no Nihongo, courses N5 to N1. Korean: courses for TOPIK levels 1 to 6, plus scene dialogues. JLPT MOCK EXAM, N5 TO N1 All five levels are open. Each paper uses the JLPT format, with the same sections, question counts and section timing, and audio for every listening question. - Practice mode has no timer and shows the explanation after each question. Standard mode runs on real timing with a limited number of pauses. Exam mode plays listening once and does not let you go back. - A new paper every week, the same for everyone, with a score ranking. You can also generate a random paper at any time. - The report gives an estimated score against the pass line, an estimated chance of passing, your score rate per section, weak vocabulary and grammar, time per question and your percentile on that paper. - Explanations, listening transcripts and reading translations appear in your interface language. - Filter explanations to wrong answers only, and add wrong answers to your review plan with one tap. - 2 exams a day are free. Exam mode and more exams per day need a subscription. Nine interface languages, and the app starts in your phone's language. Three visual themes. Subscriptions Lingo Repeta Premium is an auto-renewable monthly subscription, offered as Basic, Pro or Max. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
