Learn a language with a course built around your goal.

Tell Lingli why you're learning, your level and how much time you have. Lingli builds your course and prepares every lesson. Nothing left to decide: you open the app and you work.

It starts with a short conversation. No account needed.

How it works

1.

Say what you want

A short conversation: which language, why you're learning it, your level, your time. No forms.

2.

Lingli builds your course

A path of modules leading to your goal. Going travelling? You learn to book a room, order food, ask for directions.

3.

You do your lesson

It's ready when you open the app. Each module ends with an exam; if gaps remain, Lingli adds targeted review lessons.

You kept a 400-day streak. You still can't hold a conversation.

Motivation isn't the problem. You've had plenty.

The problem is that you spend your time choosing. Which app, which lesson, which textbook, how long today. That mental load comes out of your learning time, and it pulls you toward what feels comfortable instead of what makes you progress.

Apps that let you choose also let you choose not to work.

You don't have a single decision left to make.

Truly tailored teaching

The topics, texts and examples start from your goal. Your course is nobody else's.

No mental load

Nothing to choose, nothing to plan. Your next lesson is always already decided.

Lessons always built on real texts

Every lesson is built on a full text, a dialogue or an everyday scene, not on isolated sentences.

What you won't find here

  • Streaks and flames you mustn't break.
  • Badges, gems, leagues.
  • A mascot that guilt-trips you at night.
  • Two-minute lessons that teach you nothing.
  • A menu of forty options.

One lesson at a time. Real work.

It's for you if

  • You've already tried two or three apps and ended up back where you started.
  • You have a real reason to learn: a move, a job, a family.
  • You'd rather be told what to do than have to decide.
  • You can give it some time, regularly.

It's probably less for you if

  • You want to learn by playing five minutes on the subway.
  • You want to pick your own path and skip the boring parts.
  • You're looking for something relaxing after your day.
Which languages are available?

Dutch, English, Filipino, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Moroccan Arabic (Darija), Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish and Turkish. Explanations are in Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi or Spanish.

I'm a complete beginner. Is it for me?

Yes. You give your level at the start; if you're starting from zero, your course starts with the basics.

How much time does it take?

You choose how much time you can give it. No more, no less.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Lingli opens in your browser, on your phone or your computer.

Why we built Lingli

We wanted to spend two months in South America and we didn't speak Spanish. None of the apps we tried satisfied us. So we built the one we wished we'd had.

You can keep looking for the right method. Or start.
