Lingo Academy vs Needs

Learn a language the way you will actually use it — speaking, listening and reading real sentences from your very first lesson. Lingo Academy teaches 12 languages, and you can study any of them from 36 native languages. You always learn from the language you already think in. TWELVE LANGUAGES, ONE APP English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Polish, Turkish and Dutch. Each one is a real curriculum, taught in order the way a language is taught at school — chapter by chapter, from your first greeting to holding a real conversation. BUILT AROUND SPEAKING • Speech recognition marks your pronunciation word by word, as you say it • Native-quality audio on every word, phrase and sentence • Missed a sound? Play it back slowly and try again • You speak out loud from lesson one, not lesson fifty TALK WITH AN AI TUTOR Practice real conversation whenever you want. Speak out loud and your tutor answers aloud — or type, if that's easier, in the language you're learning or in your own. Every reply is translated underneath, and suggestions are ready when you're stuck for words. The tutor runs entirely on your device: download it once, and your conversations stay private and work with no internet. FIVE WAYS TO PRACTICE Multiple choice, writing, speaking, dragging letters into place, and ordering words into a sentence. Every exercise attacks the same vocabulary from a different angle, which is what makes it stay. GRAMMAR, EXPLAINED LIKE A PERSON WOULD Every lesson opens with short explanation cards, before a single exercise, covering exactly the rules that lesson is about to use. You meet a rule the moment it starts to matter, not as a wall of grammar to memorize up front. BILINGUAL AUDIOBOOKS Everyday conversations, read out loud: greetings and small talk, ordering in a restaurant, checking into a hotel, a visit to the doctor, shopping, getting around a city — plus classic tales to unwind with. Every sentence is read in the language you are learning and then straight away in yours, so you always know what you just heard and never stop to look anything up. Playback keeps going when you leave the app, so a commute, a walk or the washing up becomes practice. PROGRESS WORTH KEEPING • Streaks and active days that reward turning up • Badges, and a certificate when you finish a curriculum • Daily reminders at a time you choose, silent overnight IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC One app for all three, with your progress synced across them. Every lesson, every voice and every audiobook ships inside the app, and the AI tutor is a single one-time download — after that, no Wi-Fi, no cellular data, nothing to stream. A plane, a tunnel or a dead signal changes nothing. ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Start free. Unlock everything once and keep all 12 languages — no monthly fee, no paying again per language.

You speak first. That is the whole idea. Needs is an English course you do, not one you watch. Every zone starts from a real situation: ordering in a café, asking directions, the chemist, the doctor, a phone call, a complaint, a chat with a neighbour. Each one ends in something you can do. Grammar and vocabulary are moves inside the situation, never separate drills. What you do Speak into the microphone and get scored on your pronunciation. The recording stops by itself when you finish. Read aloud, sentence by sentence, and hear the phrase read back in a natural-sounding voice. Type real answers to open questions, and the app corrects them. Tap any word to see it in your own language. Colour in a real work of art, by Vermeer, Van Gogh and others, as you learn. The painting is the reward. Where you start A placement test puts you at a level that fits. It is measured, not guessed. From there you work through six settings, London through to World, from A1 up to C1: 168 zones in all. Survival, free The English you need on day one. Money, a taxi, a hotel, the chemist, an emergency, an SOS. All free except the final challenge. Exam and professional courses 21 courses, paper by paper.

When the day is over Bedtime Mode: a bedtime story, a poem, a song and soft vocabulary, on a dark, calm screen. Also inside Sir York's Library, with a Grammar Bank, Sounds of English pronunciation practice, and Today's World: news, videos and podcasts. A daily goal of three activities, and a streak. Sir York is a small dog, and he guides you through the app. No adverts, anywhere. The app speaks Spanish and English. Free to use: Pro adds things, and nothing about getting in requires paying.
