LingQ is thrilled to announce that we now support over 50 languages.

At LingQ, we believe everyone is capable of achieving fluency in another language. All you need is a desire to learn and the right platform to support your learning. In the past three years, we’ve added several languages to our repertoire, opening doors to new opportunities for learners around the world. Whether you want to connect with your heritage, travel with confidence, or simply challenge yourself, there’s a language waiting for you on LingQ.

Explore Our Newest Languages on LingQ

In this post, we’ll share some interesting tidbits on the languages that we’ve added to our platform recently as well as language-specific content recommendations. However, keep in mind that each language on LingQ also comes with a playlist of 60 Mini-Stories.

Mini-Stories are especially valuable because they’re filled with repetitive sentence structures and essential vocabulary, designed to guide you towards an intermediate level in your target language. Once at the intermediate level, the variety of content you’re able to tackle as a language learner is much greater.

LingQ is designed to help language learners study more immersively through reading and listening, regardless of their level.
