About LingoGist

Learn languages by reading, not memorizing

LingoGist uses comprehensible input — the idea that you learn a language best by reading things you can mostly understand, with just enough new words to grow. No flashcards, no grammar drills, no vocabulary lists.

How it works

We generate short passages in your target language, calibrated to your current vocabulary level. Each passage introduces a few new words in context, so you can figure out their meaning naturally. Tap any word to see its definition. Answer quick comprehension checks to track your progress.

Learn multiple languages at once

LingoGist supports 22 languages and lets you learn as many as you want simultaneously. The feed interleaves content across your languages, exploiting connections between them — like Spanish-Tagalog loanwords or shared Latin roots across Romance languages.

Privacy first
