Lingvist is an AI-powered language learning app that helps people learn new languages faster by focusing on the most useful words first.
It was created by a scientist from CERN (the big physics lab) who used machine learning to make language learning smarter and faster.
The app studies how you learn and then adapts the lessons to your pace.
Core features & how it works
You start with a placement test to set your level. Then you go through vocabulary modules with spaced repetition. Sentences and context help you see new words in real use.
You can upload text or articles to generate custom decks. Speech recognition, listening, reading, writing are integrated.
Pricing & subscription talk
Lingvist gives you a trial period to test things. After free trial, you need a subscription to unlock full access.
Exact price isn’t always public, but many language apps charge ~$10-20 per month for full features.
Higher plans may include custom decks, advanced progress analytics, full language access, offline mode. You pay more if you want full AI content and flexibility.

Tips to get the most out of Lingvist
Always review “hard words” that the algorithm flags. Use custom decks from content you care about (articles, topics).
Set a daily habit consistency beats cramming. Combine with speaking practice outside the app for fluency. Monitor progress metrics and revisit weak spots.
