LingQ App - Review

 

I have been a Duolingo fan for 10 years.  It is exciting when I find another language app that is comparable to Duolingo.

Pros

* content is FREE to all,

*14 languages Spanish, German, French, English, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese & Italian 10 more in beta development

*read & listen to many texts and import your own

*spaced repetition of words

*tracks your learning vocabulary and marks new words in blue (press for dictionary translation)

*80+ languages in many topics

* includes 1000s of hours of audio

*push yourself with challenges ie 1000 words or 90 days

*import content from anywhere ie books, posts, news etc

Cons

* there is a subscription 

* a little chunky/ clunky in appearance so could be improved in an update

*not sure how much easier the web version is to the app

*not sure how easy it is to install the necessary apps to import on the web version. might be harder on ym my mac.
