What do you like best about Lingvist?

I am using this app to learn the basics of Spanish words and sentences. It provides a huge catalog of texts in its app for me to read and learn.

It has a smooth mouse roll over support and I can easily hover a word and see its translation immediately which I liked the most about it.

Also I have noticed that I can rewind the audio part for about 5-10 seconds any number of times to repeatedly listen to previous sentence back to back till I am satisfied with myself that I have learnt it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

Since it offers limited number of languages, I would like to see more languages to come up such as German. Also I feel that the mobile app is not as much effective as the desktop version and can crash in between the course learning. This is a major drawback in their mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lingvist:

If you want to learn French, Russian or Spanish within a quick time, then surely Lingvist is the perfect app for you as it is free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can definitely feel that the graphical user interface has been designed very effectively with lots of research being done and comes out to be pretty useful and simple to find out all the available features on the single screen.

Also it has very effective features for learning purpose such as the samples for listening to audio, various quizzes to memorize the phrases quickly, lots of study material to read and lives upto its confidence that one can learn the language in around 200 hours.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Lingvist?

The best thing I liked about Lingvist was the sequence in which the words could be learnt. It starts with the most common words used in French which helped me to remember those words first as they were used in most of the sentences.

I used the flashcards which had one of the words missing from the sentence and as soon as I provided the correct word there, the complete sentence was shown and I could memorize correct pronunciation easily. When I get the wrong word in place, it will remember it and keep on showing unless and until I would get it right for up to 5 times.

I found the dashboard to be very appealing and maintains the track of words which I already learnt. There is also an option for sorting down the words from the sections such as How many times practiced and Last time practiced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

While listening to the audio, there is no option for slowing down the speed of the audio. It will be at its own pace always. I want this to be added in the app for slow learners like me to listen the audio at a lower speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lingvist:

If you want to learn French basics and sentence formation, then definitely Lingvist will help you to do so. It is absolutely free to join the app and learn French. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had to learn French when I joined my Company as it had data in French as well as English. So, I used Lingvist to learn it quickly and within a span of 3 months, I got a very good understanding of French language in terms of written communication.

The best thing is that I didn’t got bored while learning French because of nice to use features which are very interesting and helps to learn at a fast pace. I spent around 30-40 minutes daily on it and it showed positive quick results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lingvist?

Lingvist claims that you can learn a language in 200 hours for free. I really like that they offer free course and their course content is awesome for a free course. They offer very interactive word memorizing part I even started to memorize a few French words just in 10 minutes. In read part, their design is so great, if you ciick twice any sentence, you can see the english translation of the sentence and listen it in french! It is very innovative and very effective way to learn I think. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

I dont think that you can learn a language in 200 hours even if you can, it seems that the site has not enough to improve your all of your skills like reading, writing or listening. I think more language selection would be much better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lingvist:

For beginners Lingvist is great in order to improve yourself I recommend everyone who looking for some innovative way to learn language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have improved my basic French with this site. It really helps your vocabulary and listening skills which is fair enough just for beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lingvist?

I love interactive learning and Lingvist provides great example of this. I am interested in learning languages but i do not have time to allocate for a local courses. There are a lot of online courses but doing interactive things like memorizing words by writing down them is great. Even if you do not know the word, system shows it 2 or 3 cards later until you learn it which is great way to make people move on. Also the reading and listening parts are pretty nice to improve yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

It would be great if there were more language selections but i think they will add them in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lingvist:

I recommend Lingvist people who especially gets bored of non interactive learning language videos. Because they provide really great content in order to keep you go on and they really teaches you some French words with their pronounciation also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I consider learning languages as a hobby so I am using Lingvist in my free times and it makes me feel relieved and learning new words are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lingvist?

Lingvist is one of the great source of learning language. I loved the memorize part which shows you most common words in french and it really teaches you until you memorize. There are card system in that part so if you even do not know anything about the French you can start learning some words even in minutes! There are also Read and Listen parts but in order to understand these I think you should know a bit more than a beginner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

Read and Listen parts are kind of hard for beginners. It's really hard to understand every passage so you need to use dictionary everytime. It would be great if there were a dictionary attached near to the reading passages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lingvist:

They claim that you will learn the language in 200 hours. I did not spend that much time so I can not make comment about it but If you are interested in learning french in interactive and memorizing words you can try Lingvist because it is free and really memorizes you the important words Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using it for completely develop my language skills. I love learning new words in different languages and practicing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lingvist?

I have used a variety of language-learning softwares and Lingvist is the only one to stick out to me. I am both a French and Medical major, and have lived in France for over 3 months. Since I have been able to use Lingvist to learn practical skills beyond grammar, such as read French jokes and listening to non-academic (boring) sources. This application does what others can't by offering both memorization based grammar and also more interesting culturally French elements like humor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

There is honestly little I dislike. The application is new and the user interface and response time could be polished slightly. Besides that I have found zero errors of the site while learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Although I still am a student, I currently work in a hospital. Lingvist has helped improve my practical French and help those with poor English. It can also be used with immigrants who only speak Spanish, making it incredibly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lingvist?

The adaption tools that change the pace of learning the language to match your level and skill, which is a great way to keep going at a pace that isn't far too advanced or far too easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

Right now, the only language choice available is English to French or vice versa. New languages need to be added to make this more accessible to a larger range of people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lingvist:

The Lingvist system really only helps reading and writing in French. It will not help speaking at all but it may help in listening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Learning a different language is a way to be more connected world wide, which is a huge benefit. It is simply English and French at this time but as I was in the process of learning French anyway it is a valuable tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lingvist?

The overall design of the application is astonishing, I feel comfortably on the site. It's even pronouncing the words you're typing in for you, so that you can indeed perceive the language in all possible ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

A bad thing which comes to my mind regarding this service is that it does not support that many languages so far. It supports actually only French as of now. Hopefully it will get better with time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lingvist:

Don't be afraid to try new things! Life is change, remember that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm solving a problem of not getting a good enough idea for a good business to start. What have I realized? I have realized that it does not matter at all if a similar service has been running for years on the net already, I can always come and conquer the market with something more catchy.

What do you like best about Lingvist?

I have used several applications to attempt to learn Hindi, and Lingvist is one of my favourites. The design is simple and intuitive, and it aims to teach languages using a variety of techniques, which ensures that every learning style is accommodated. For example, I enjoy using the Memorize and Read features as I am a very visual person. I also learn by repetition and the application uses repetition to encourage the language and important words to stick in learners' heads. The audio feature is a great way for people to learn as well, but this wasn't as important to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingvist?

It is hard to find a fault with this application. If anything, I would say adding a "game" or "fun" aspect like some other applications would encourage more frequent use by certain types of users. For example, having "matching" games or fun charts to track progress might encourage me to sign in more often or try to meet goals quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lingvist:

I would consider Lingvist if you are trying to learn another language and looking for a software that caters specifically to your needs (i.e. visual learner, audio learner). If you are looking for an app that turns learning into a "game", perhaps look elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lingvist solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me, this application has been helping me learn a language which will be valuable in my everyday life (communicating with my family, patients, etc.) The features that cater to my learning style are a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
