LingQ was launched in late 2007 by Steve Kaufmann and his son Mark to develop better tools for language learners.
The LingQ system is based on Steve's experiences learning languages. Until the age of 17 Steve only spoke English. After 10 years of French lessons in school, Steve still couldn’t speak it. It was at the point that Steve decided to find a way to learn languages that works.
The system that Steve developed forms the basis of the LingQ system enabling thousands of learners from all over the world to enjoy language learning and successfully reach their goals.

LingQ is a fun, simple way to learn languages from authentic, interesting content. Learning the language from the language itself, just as most children learn their own language.
Steve Kaufmann has proven that this system works – He now speaks 20 languages. Along with over 1,000,000 LingQ members who continue to prove it every day

Mark Kaufmann
CEO, Co-founder
Jefe, Speaks 4 Languages (including getting s#!t done)
It was while travelling the world as a pro hockey player (ice hockey for you non-Canadians) that Mark first developed an interest in learning languages. He has taken Steve’s methods and designed LingQ to bring this approach to the masses. He can usually be found working out or playing sports and trying, when possible, to listen to LingQ lessons at the same time. (Kind of tough under the hockey helmet…)
