What languages do you offer, and how do you approach language learning?

All of our languages feature speech from a real native speaker. We don’t use artificial voices like some other apps. We want you to hear how the language sounds in real life, from real people.

 

Our content is based on Scenario-Based Learning. This means that we teach you words and phrases that are useful for specific situations, such as ordering food, asking for directions, or making friends. We want you to learn vocabulary that is relevant and practical, not random and boring. Our lessons may not follow a strict order, but trust us, there is a logic behind our choices.

 

Are you curious if we support your native language or your target language? We bet you are, so here is a list of our currently supported languages on Ling. You can learn any of these languages from any of these languages. How cool is that?
