Listening practice you can't switch off

Lingvi is a listening-first language trainer. You listen to voiced sentences with automatic repetitions, get used to the sound of natural speech and gradually start understanding it without translating. The app offers 11 languages, 3000+ lessons and tens of thousands of voiced sentences.

Every sentence is played several times with configurable intervals — pauses can be tuned to the second. Your brain has time to recognise the words, connect them to meaning and memorise how they sound. It is the same way children acquire their native language: comprehension first, everything else later.

Lingvi offers 11 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Bengali, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Thai, Turkish, Uzbek and Vietnamese. The interface is available in 14 languages, so you can learn from your native one.

Yes. The basic plan is free with no time limit: you get lessons of the first difficulty level and up to 100 words. Pro plans remove the limits and unlock audio, interval settings, statistics and extra tools.

With regular 45 minute daily sessions, the first results usually come in about 30 days: you begin to catch familiar words and whole phrases in natural speech. The system adapts to your level, so progress builds up without overload.

Yes. Lessons are split into three difficulty levels, and the first one is designed for absolute beginners. Short simple sentences with frequent repetitions help you understand your first phrases from the very first days. As you progress, you can increase the difficulty.

Most apps teach you to read and translate, while listening comprehension stays weak. Lingvi is built around listening: from day one you hear natural speech with auto-repeats instead of assembling sentences from cards. That makes it a great companion to any course or textbook.

Lingvi runs in the browser on desktop and mobile and installs as an app on Android and iOS — open Lingvi in your phone's browser to see the install guide. Your progress syncs between devices, so you can start on a computer and continue on your phone.

No. Just open Lingvi in your browser and start the first lesson — signing up takes less than a minute and nothing needs to be installed. If you prefer your phone, open Lingvi in its browser — the app will show you how to install it on Android or iOS.

That is a normal stage at the start. Increase the number of repetitions and the pauses between them — Lingvi's interval settings are flexible. Every sentence comes with text and translation: read the phrase first, then listen until you recognise it without help or mental translation.
