Learn a new language without studying. LingLock puts one useful phrase on your Lock Screen, so every time you pick up your phone, you learn something you can actually say. No lessons. No streaks to protect. No time to set aside. Just the words locals really use, a few seconds at a time. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a language and what you're learning for: a trip, chatting with people, work, or a bit of everything. 2. Add the LingLock widget to your Lock Screen or Home Screen. 3. Glance. A new phrase arrives every few hours through the day, and they pause while you sleep so you never miss one. 4. Tap the speaker to hear it said, right from the widget. 5. It sticks. Phrases you're learning come back at spaced intervals until you've got them. Tap Got it and they'll give way to new ones. WHAT LOCALS ACTUALLY SAY Most apps teach the textbook version. LingLock teaches what people actually say in that country: casual Spain Spanish, everyday Brazilian Portuguese, Gulf Arabic, mainland Mandarin. Every phrase comes with an easy sound-it-out guide, so you can speak Japanese, Thai or Hindi from day one without learning a new alphabet. Some words change depending on who is speaking, like obrigado or obrigada. LingLock teaches you the version you would say. 13 LANGUAGES, EACH AS SPOKEN IN ONE PLACE • Spanish (Spain) • French (France) • Italian (Italy) • Portuguese (Brazil) • German (Germany) • Dutch (the Netherlands) • Japanese (Japan) • Korean (South Korea) • Mandarin Chinese (mainland China) • Thai (Thailand) • Hindi (India) • Gulf Arabic (UAE and the Gulf) • Georgian (Georgia) Switch languages anytime. Your progress in each one is kept. Audio isn't available for Georgian yet, because iPhones don't include a Georgian voice. PHRASES YOU'LL USE ON DAY ONE Hello, thank you, where's the bathroom, the bill please, how much is it, I don't understand, one more please. Around 200 everyday phrases per language across basics, small talk, food and drink, getting around, shopping, numbers, work, and health and emergencies. Your goal decides what comes first: planning a trip? Food, transport and emergencies arrive before small talk. WIDGETS THAT TEACH • Daily Phrase: a new phrase every few hours on your Lock Screen or Home Screen. • Quiz Me: see the English, try to recall it, then tap to reveal the answer. • Trip mode: set any widget to one topic, like Food or Health & emergency, to cram the right phrases before you fly. • Tap to hear: the speaker button plays the phrase without opening the app. WHEN WORDS FAIL, SHOW IT Tap Show and the phrase fills the screen in the local script, big and clear, ready to hand to a taxi driver, waiter or shopkeeper. WATCH YOURSELF PROGRESS The Today screen shows what's on your Lock Screen now, today's phrases, and your next milestone, like Café-ready: "you can order, pay and say thanks anywhere." A phrase only counts once you've really met it, so your progress is honest.
