Learn a new language the way humans are meant to — by listening first! LORIKO is a hands-free language learning app designed for busy people who want to reach fluency without flashcards, games, and quizzes. With over 160 downloadable audio lessons across 16 languages, LORIKO lets you learn while multitasking — washing the dishes, walking the dog, commuting, or working out. How does it work? Each lesson is delivered line-by-line: • First, you hear the sentence in your native language • Then, the same line is repeated in your study language • The transcript appears on screen and is read in sync with the audio This proven listen-first approach mirrors how babies learn language — through sound first, then text. Each lesson can be adjusted to match your fluency level: • Slow down the speaking speed • Increase the number of times each line of the study language is repeated • Add pauses after each line to practice speaking out loud Learn anywhere, anytime: • Fully downloadable lessons • Save and track your progress on multiple devices • Access all downloaded lessons offline • Listen 100% hands-free or follow along with the text to learn spelling and grammar Designed for real life: Most language apps rely on flashcards, games, and quizzes that demand your full attention. Who has time for that? Because our lessons are pre-recorded, LORIKO doesn’t rely on live interactions or AI chatbots. There’s no awkward voice recognition, no guessing what to ask next, and no frustration when your phone misunderstands you. Instead, you simply listen, absorb, and speak when you’re ready. What you’ll learn: Lessons cover a wide range of real-world topics from everyday life and are structured to guide you from absolute beginner to advanced fluency. The library features a variety of content types including conversations, phrases and informative tutorials. Plus our team is busy developing new content regularly so you will never run out of new topics to explore and master. Available languages: • English • Spanish • French • German • Italian • Portuguese • Russian • Japanese • Chinese (Mandarin) • Arabic • Korean • Greek • Hindi • Thai • Vietnamese • Filipino (Tagalog) We’re so confident you’ll love the Loriko experience that we’re giving you free access to over 50 lessons.
