Why it exists
When two people who love each other speak different languages, most conversations go through a third language – or through a phone held between them. LinguaPair was built for those two people: to translate the conversation they are having now, and to turn its words into the lessons that mean they will need the translator less next year.
It grew into a full language app: authored courses from A0 to C2 in six languages, a spaced-repetition vocabulary trainer, films with your own subtitles, reading with audio, partner games and a placement test. Everything still assumes there are two of you – and everything also works alone.
What it is, in one paragraph
A language-learning app for two people – couples first, but any pair – on iPhone, Android and the web. Six languages: English, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean, each both a language to learn and a language of the app, in any pairing. Free to start; one Premium subscription covers both partners.
How the content is made
Every course – around fifty units and more than three hundred lessons per language – is written and reviewed by hand against one common curriculum, then checked by validators for consistency between the six languages. Nothing a learner reads in a lesson is generated on the fly.
Illustrations and voice-overs are produced with generative tools and reviewed. The live translator uses on-device speech and translation where the phone has them, and cloud models otherwise; what it translates stays between the two of you and feeds only your own vocabulary.
What we hold to
One subscription for two
A pair pays once. The partner who did not pay has exactly the same product, on every device.
Free means useful
The free tier is a real course – the whole of A0 and A1 in every language – plus the translator every day. It is not a countdown.
Your data is yours
You can delete everything you made – the account, the pair, the words, the conversations – from the app or the site, at any time, and nothing is sold or shared.
