LingQ breaks down the barriers that prevent people from learning languages. We LingQ ("link") you to a world of authentic content and an online community of learners and native speaker tutors. We LingQ you to our powerful tools and resources. (We don't LingQ you to classrooms, text books and grammar rules.) Based on TheLinguist method.
Everyone learns to speak their native language. Why not use the same approach with a second language? Surround yourself with meaningful input that matters to you. Start at an easy level and work your way up. Accelerate vocabulary acquisition with LingQ's unique system. Soon the language will be a part of you, naturally.
Learning online doesn't mean learning alone. At LingQ, you're part of a global language learning community. Join live conversations or interact on our Forums and Blogs. Meaningful communication in your new language makes it real and real communication helps you learn.
LingQ is always on, always available, so you can study when you have time. No scheduled lessons, no traveling to class, no wasted time. We make it easy to find the time to learn and improve. On LingQ, if you spend the time, you will learn. It's that simple.
LingQ is for all language learners, from absolute beginners to advanced speakers, from people learning on their own to students in classrooms. Are you starting from scratch? Are you determined to become fluent? Do you just want to brush up before you travel? LingQ is for you. As your language grows, LingQ grows with you.
Everyone is capable of becoming fluent in a second or third or ninth language! All you need is the desire to learn and the right system.
Steve says that before you try to communicate in your target language, you should spend time on listening, repeating out loud, learning words and phrases, reading, writing, and practicing proper pronunciation.
To express yourself in a new language you must first absorb the language by listening, reading and learning vocabulary... These activities will always account for about three quarters of your effort while you are working to achieve a basic level of fluency. But from the beginning you also have to work on your skills of expression: pronunciation, writing and conversation. Developing these skills requires a conscious commitment to regular and patient practice.
