Most language apps help you study. Lingowire helps you speak. Passive learning only gets you so far. You can spend months in classes, language learning apps, and videos and still struggle to hold a real conversation. The missing piece is consistent speaking practice and the opportunity to apply what you know. That is what Lingowire is built for. If terms like spaced repetition, immersion learning, comprehensible input, shadowing, fluency training, or pronunciation coaching sound familiar, you already know that speaking practice and real conversation are where language learning actually happens. GUIDED CONVERSATION LESSONS Start with structured conversation-based lessons designed for real-life situations. Every lesson prepares you for the kinds of conversations you will actually have, whether that is ordering food, navigating a job interview, or catching up with family. Work through a progressive practice path at your own pace, with real-time pronunciation feedback along the way. REAL LANGUAGE PARTNERS & EXCHANGE Apply what you have learned through voice messages and live speaking practice with language partners around the world. Find a practice partner, connect with native speakers, or practice with fellow learners. Real conversations with real people are what turn passive language knowledge into genuine fluency. BUILT FOR YOUR GOALS Learning a new language fast for travel? Build conversational skills before you land. Developing business language skills for your career? Practice professional scenarios with your language partners. Moving abroad or reconnecting with family and culture? Get the consistent practice to communicate confidently in everyday situations. Maintaining fluency in a language you already know? Stay sharp with regular language exchange and conversation practice. BEGINNER TO ADVANCED PROFICIENCY Lingowire works whether you are just starting out or moving from intermediate to fluent. Structured lessons build your foundation. Real conversations put it into practice. LANGUAGES Spanish, French, English, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Arabic, German, Japanese, Korean, and more, including African, Caribbean, and Indigenous languages rarely found on other language learning apps.

Your feeds can teach you Spanish. 3toGo puts a tiny gate in front of the apps that eat your time. When you open Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, or Reddit, 3toGo asks you 3 quick Spanish questions first. Answer them and your app opens for the break length you chose. That's the whole trick, and it works. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps that pull you in. 3toGo blocks them using Apple's Screen Time. • Open a blocked app and the block screen sends you into 3toGo for 3 short Spanish questions. • Answering unlocks a timed break, and the timer only counts while you're actually using your apps. • Lock everything again with one tap when you're done. REALLY LEARN • More than 900 Spanish questions across travel, social life, work, dating, daily life, and food, plus verb conjugations in the present, past, and future • Adapts to your level: questions get harder as you improve • Mistake review: the words you miss come back until they stick • Streaks, points, and a progress report built from real numbers BREAKS, HONESTLY • Unlock timers count actual use, not wall-clock time • Vacation mode: answer a short question set up front to pause blocking for 1 to 14 days • Emergency unlock when you need one: three free every month, streak untouched. After that it costs XP, or a few questions if your balance is short. ON YOUR IPHONE BY DESIGN Your Spanish questions, your answers and your Screen Time choices are processed on your iPhone. No account needed. We send counts, like install, sign-up, purchase and which step you reached, tied to a random install id and not to your name. They go to Meta, so we can reach more learners, and to our own servers, so we can fix what breaks. No question text, answers or app names are sent. 3toGo Plus unlocks the full experience: $16.99/month or $69.99/year, each with a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms: https://tanvir3056.github.io/3togo-legal/terms.html Privacy: https://tanvir3056.github.io/3togo-legal/privacy.html
