Read full description

Discover and learn Japanese with complete, real sentences. 180 themes of 10 sentences each, from the classics to the unexpected β€” 1,800 sentences in total. Free to download, no account, no ads. ONE SENTENCE AT A TIME Most learning methods drown you in vocabulary lists. Looplingo works differently: one sentence, one context, one score. Every review is rated, and the system prioritizes whatever keeps slipping away. The more you practice, the less time you waste. EVERYDAY THEMES Restaurant, transport, hotel, family… Pick a theme, review its sentences, and track your progress card by card. A fully mastered theme gets validated β€” but stays replayable anytime. THREE REVIEW MODES β€’ Cards: flip the card and rate yourself honestly. β€’ Multiple choice quiz: pick the right translation out of four options, with visual and haptic feedback. β€’ Priority: a smart session that gathers your difficult sentences and your favorites. SIMPLE, HONEST PROGRESS No black-box algorithm: every correct answer brings a sentence closer to being acquired, every mistake pushes it back. And each direction is tracked separately β€” understanding a sentence and producing it are two different skills. When a sentence reaches your mastery threshold (adjustable from 1 to 100), it's acquired. Slow memorizer? Raise the threshold. Want to move fast? Lower it. YOUR FAVORITES FIRST Tap the heart on sentences that keep tripping you up. Priority mode puts them at the front of the session, together with the sentences the app automatically detects as fragile. BUILT FOR JAPANESE Display in hiragana or kanji, optional romaji under the cards, and text-to-speech to hear every sentence with the right pronunciation. CONSISTENCY OVER INTENSITY Daily progress rings, streak, daily goal, and an optional daily reminder: five minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday. FREE TO ACTUALLY TRY The free version is not a demo: 4 full themes, all language pairs, and every review mode, with no time limit. LOOPLINGO PRO, ONE-TIME PURCHASE FOR LIFE Unlock 100% of the themes (all 180, 1,800 sentences), add your own custom sentence packs (JSON, loaded from a simple URL), and export or restore your database anytime. One single purchase, no subscription. Your data stays on your device, and deleting a pack never deletes your learning history. 5 LANGUAGES, EVERY COMBINATION French, Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean are all built in β€” and every pair works both ways: French β†’ Japanese, Japanese β†’ French, Chinese β†’ Korean, English β†’ Chinese… Learn in whichever direction you want, from whichever language you already speak. More languages are on the way β€” feel free to tell us which ones you'd like to see first. Open a theme. Flip a card. Come back every day. That's the whole secret.

Start thinking in Portuguese. Everything you need to learn Brazilian Portuguese in one app, from your very first words to confident business Portuguese. A magazine made for your level, grammar lessons, vocabulary, a full dictionary and audio, all connected so each one feeds the next. You know the scattered routine already. A vocab app on one screen, a grammar book on the shelf, flashcards you never came back to, an article you opened once and left behind. Brasilify pulls it into a single place, whether you are starting from scratch or sharpening advanced Portuguese. ONE APP. SIX TOOLS. ALL WORKING TOGETHER. Your Portuguese magazine, made for your level. Real articles on culture, work and everyday life, written for A1 through C1+. As you read, tap any word to see its meaning and grammar right inside the text. Every article, read aloud. Listen at your own pace. Speed it up, slow it down, follow along with the text, then test yourself with comprehension questions until it really clicks. Grammar that actually teaches. Not just a quiz engine. Real lessons that explain the rules first, verb tenses, articles, noun gender and word order, backed by 1,000+ exercises so the rules become second nature. Finally made visual. Vocabulary at your pace. Try each exercise before the translation appears. Peek only if you really need to. Daily flashcards built on spaced repetition quietly turn new words into words you own. Dictionary? Got that too. 7,000+ words with verb forms, real phrases, regional terms and audio. Everything in one tap. Business Portuguese that means business. The vocabulary and phrases you actually use in meetings, emails and the office. Most apps leave this out. We built it into the core of Brasilify, so you can speak up in the room instead of just nodding along. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE. iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, all in sync. Start an article on the train, finish it at your desk, review words on your wrist. No account. No login. Just open and learn. WHY BRASILIFY IS DIFFERENT. Made for adults who want to learn Portuguese properly, whether you are just starting or already advanced. Built around real Portuguese text where you tap to learn, not around isolated drills. Quiet and focused, with nothing cluttering the screen. FREE. AND WE MEAN IT. Most apps lock everything behind a subscription. We do not. Download Brasilify and use all the grammar lessons, daily vocabulary practice, articles at every level and the dictionary for free. There is also a coin system built into the learning itself. Every exercise you finish earns coins, and coins give you premium content. No credit card, just keep learning. Go Premium when you want no limits: full article access, deeper lessons, bonus exercises, offline downloads and an experience with no ads. Or buy it with a one-time payment and be done with it.
