Learn a language by scrolling. Scrollingua turns short videos into real language practice — watch, tap any word for its meaning, and pick up vocabulary you'll actually use. Learn Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, French, or German in the format you already scroll every day. You already spend time scrolling short videos. Scrollingua puts that habit to work, so time you'd spend on autopilot becomes listening practice, new words, and real comprehension. No sitting still. No starting over from lesson one. Learn 6 languages: Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, and German. Japanese includes full furigana and romaji, Chinese includes pinyin, and every language comes with a built-in dictionary and color-coded grammar hints tuned to how that language actually works. How to use Scrollingua 1) Pick your language and take a quick placement check. 2) Scroll a feed of authentic short videos with interactive subtitles. 3) Tap any word to see its meaning, reading, and grammar role — without leaving the video. 4) Save the words you want to keep; they come back as spaced review so they stick. 5) Follow a guided lesson path when you want structure, from the basics up to real sentences. 6) Practice speaking out loud and get pronunciation feedback on how you did. Built for people who love the idea of learning a language but bounce off traditional study. The loop is familiar on purpose — swipe, tap, listen, repeat. A few minutes between other things adds up faster than you'd expect, and streaks, daily goals, and friends keep you coming back. Ditch flashcard drills and lessons that feel like homework. Scrollingua is language learning that fits the way you already use your phone, so the practice happens without you having to schedule it. What you get • Authentic short videos for real listening practice • Tappable subtitles with instant dictionary lookups — meaning, reading, and grammar in one tap • Furigana and romaji for Japanese, pinyin for Chinese • Color-coded grammar hints that reveal sentence structure at a glance • Saved words that turn into spaced repetition review • A guided lesson path with placement, so you start at the right level • Speaking practice with guided pronunciation feedback • Scan on-screen text to translate what you see • Streaks and daily goals to build a habit that lasts • Friends and invite codes so you can learn alongside people you know If you have ideas or questions, email us at [YOUR SUPPORT EMAIL].
