LinguaWhy 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 ten 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. Ten languages: English, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Portuguese and Italian, 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 against one common curriculum, then checked by validators for consistency between the ten languages. Nothing a learner reads in a lesson is generated on the fly.
Illustrations and AI-generated voice-overs are produced for the whole set at once and reviewed, so one card looks and sounds like the next. The live translator uses on-device speech recognition and translation where the phone has them, and cloud translation (Google Cloud Translation, OpenAI) otherwise; those services receive the text only to translate it. Beyond that, 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.
How we write what you read
Every article here is written for a reader rather than assembled from other articles, and each one exists in all ten languages: written in each of them, not run through a translator, because a translated example stops being an example anyone recognises.
Where a claim can be checked, it links to what it came from – a study, the Common European Framework, a published estimate of study hours. Where it cannot be checked, the article says so instead of rounding it into a number. We describe only what the app does today, never what is planned, and we name no competitor.
The courses follow the same rule: every lesson is authored level by level and validated before it ships. If you find something wrong or out of date, write to support@linguap.com – we correct the page and move its date, which is what the date at the top of an article is for.
