Everything about how Lingavela works, what you get, and how billing and privacy are handled.

Getting started

What is Lingavela?
Lingavela is a mobile app for learning English, Spanish, and French. It combines memory science (spaced repetition) with real language production — you write your own sentences, get AI feedback, and practice real conversations — so you don’t just recognize words, you learn to speak.
Is it free to try?
Yes. You start completely free with full access to every feature — all languages, all exercises, no ads. You only decide about a subscription after you’ve tried it, and you can cancel anytime.
Which devices is it on?
Lingavela is available on iPhone and Android. Your progress syncs to your account, so you can pick up where you left off on any device.

How it works

How is Lingavela different from other language apps?
Most apps have you tap pre-made word tiles, which builds recognition, not real speaking. Lingavela has you write your own sentences and checks them with AI, so you learn to actually produce the language — backed by spaced repetition that makes every word stick.
Will this actually help me speak?
Yes — because you practice producing language, not just recognizing it. You write your own sentences, play through real dialogues, and can chat with an AI tutor, all of which build the recall and confidence you need to speak in the real world.
What is spaced repetition?
It’s a science-backed review schedule that brings each word back right before you’d forget it, at growing intervals. Every successful recall strengthens the memory and lengthens the next gap — so words move into long-term memory with far less effort than cramming.
How much time do I need each day?
As little as 10 minutes. You pick a daily goal from 10 to 60 minutes and Lingavela builds a plan that fits — steady progress without burning out.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes — Lingavela is online-only for now, so you’ll need a connection to learn. (An offline mode may arrive in a future version.) The upside of being online: your AI feedback is instant and happens in real time as you practice.

Languages & levels

Which languages can I learn?
English, Spanish, and French right now, with German and Italian coming soon. One subscription unlocks every language and every level, from beginner (A1) to advanced (C2).
I’m a complete beginner — is that okay?
Absolutely. You can start from zero, and Lingavela teaches the most useful words first (ordered by real-world frequency) so you can say useful things quickly.
I already know some — can I skip ahead?
Yes. During setup you choose your starting level, so you begin where it makes sense for you instead of repeating what you already know.

Subscription & billing

How much does it cost?
Prices are set per region on the App Store and Google Play and shown in the app before you subscribe. You always see the exact price for your country first.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel in a couple of taps from your phone’s subscription settings, anytime before renewal.
How do I restore my subscription?
Tap "Restore Purchases" on the paywall or in Settings — your subscription follows your store account.

Privacy

Is my data private?
Yes. We only collect what’s needed to run the app and track your progress, and we never sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
How do I delete my account?
You can delete your account and data from the app’s settings, or request deletion via support. See our Delete Account page for the steps.
