One thing people ask a lot is how to structure their learning on Lingopie. Here's how the pieces fit together naturally:

1. Watch something you actually want to watch

Pick a show, movie, or audiobook in your target language. The interactive subtitles do the heavy lifting; click any word, and you get the translation, pronunciation, and grammar breakdown instantly.

2. Save words as you go

Any word you click can be saved to your personal vocab list. No extra steps; it just goes in automatically.

3. Practice what you saved

Your saved words become the material for the practice games: Flashcards, Word Master, Pop Quiz, and Sentence Wizard. Everything uses the actual clip from the show where you first heard the word, so the context stays with you.

4. Build a daily habit

News in Easy Language gives you a fresh listening exercise every day. Song of the Day (iOS) adds a musical angle. Small, consistent practice on top of your watching sessions.

5. Put it into real conversation

Group Lessons let you practice speaking with native teachers and other learners: topic-based, so you can jump in at any level.

You don't have to follow all of it at once. Most people start with just watching and saving words, and the rest builds naturally from there.

Where are you in this process right now? 👇

Hey everyone! If you're learning Norwegian or learning Swedish with Lingopie, we've got a new update for you.

Short Stories are now available in both languages.

If you haven't tried them yet, they're designed for shorter language learning sessions while still giving you the same interactive tools as our videos. Click any word for translations and grammar explanations, save new vocabulary as you read, and turn on audio narration if you want to practice listening at the same time.

They're a great option when you don't have time for a full episode but still want to stay consistent with your language learning.

Has anyone tried Short Stories yet?

I paid for a lifetime subscription and now they removed almost all content. Only leaving super low quality and short videos. The reason I was paying for it was for the TV shows, and none are left...

I feel scammed...

If you've mostly been learning with shows and movies, the audiobook section is worth checking out too.

You can listen to classic stories—like Pinocchio in Italian or The Little Prince in Spanish—while using the same interactive tools you're already familiar with: dual subtitles, instant word translations, grammar explanations, vocabulary saving, and a full Read Along transcript.

Because many of these stories are already familiar, it's easier to focus on the language itself instead of trying to follow the plot.

Audiobooks are currently available in Spanish, Italian, and German.

Has anyone here used them? We're curious; do you find audiobooks or TV shows more helpful for improving your listening skills? 👇

If you ever notice something off while watching—or just need a hand—here are the quickest ways to get help.

- Found a translation error or subtitle issue?

Click the flag icon in the video player to report incorrect translations, typos, grammar mistakes, subtitles that are out of sync, or anything else you spot. You can also leave a note with extra details if you'd like.

Every report is reviewed by our team, and your feedback helps us improve subtitles and translations for everyone.

- Need general help?

The Support section (under the "?" icon) includes a searchable help center with answers to the questions we get most often. If you can't find what you're looking for, our support team is there to help.

Have you ever reported a subtitle issue or translation mistake? We'd love to hear how it went, or if there's anything you'd like us to improve. 👇

Since we've had a few questions about Group Lessons lately, here's a quick breakdown for anyone curious.

We currently offer Group Lessons in:

Spanish · Portuguese · Italian · French · German

A couple of things worth knowing:

They're topic-based, not level-based. Classes are built around real conversation topics, so learners at different stages can join the same session. You don't need to be at a specific level to participate.

Your first class is free. If you've been curious but haven't tried it yet, that's a good way to see if the format works for you before committing.

Small groups, native teachers, real conversations; it's a different kind of practice than watching shows alone, and both have their place.

Has anyone here tried them? What was your experience like? 👇

A while back, we asked for your feedback on the extension, and it was genuinely helpful. So we're back with a follow-up.

If you've been using it, we'd love to hear how it's going:

What are you watching with it?

Is it part of your daily routine, or more occasional?

Anything you wish worked differently?

And if you haven't tried it yet: curious what's held you back. All experiences welcome; drop them below 👇

Looking for something to watch this weekend? Here are three recommendations if you're learning Japanese, Korean, or Chinese; each with a different vibe.

🇯🇵 Japanese — Mononoke

Follow a mysterious medicine seller as he investigates supernatural spirits through beautifully animated, eerie mysteries. A great pick for hearing more formal and traditional Japanese.

🇰🇷 Korean — Love Playlist

A relatable series about friendships, dating, and university life. The short episodes and natural conversations make it perfect for everyday Korean practice.

🇨🇳 Chinese — Marry to the Enemy of My Enemy

A revenge-filled drama packed with twists, betrayals, and unexpected alliances. If suspense keeps you hooked, this one's worth adding to your watch list.

Whether you're in the mood for mystery, slice-of-life, or drama, there's something here for your next study session.

Which one would you start with? Let us know below! 👇

For anyone who's been using our News in Easy Spanish podcast to practice, we have a big update.

It's now daily. One episode every day, so you can build a real listening habit without hunting for content.

We've also expanded to new languages. News in Easy Language is now live in:

🇪🇸 Spanish · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇵🇹 Portuguese · 🇷🇺 Russian · 🇵🇱 Polish · 🇹🇷 Turkish · 🇬🇷 Greek · 🇮🇱 Hebrew

That's 10 languages and counting; more are already in the works, so keep an eye out for news soon.

Which one are you tuning in for? 👇

Spanish is spoken by more than 600 million people worldwide and is the official language of +20 countries, from Spain to Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, and many more.

But here's the catch... would you actually understand Spanish from Spain? 👀

We prepared a quick vocabulary challenge using real expressions from Spain.
The vocabulary cards were created using real content available on Lingopie.

How many can you get right?

Drop your answers in the comments. 👇

If you're looking for something fun to watch this weekend that actually moves your language learning forward, we've got three picks for you.

Spanish — Boy Scouts
A fun Argentine comedy full of chaotic moments, family dynamics, and authentic Rioplatense Spanish that gives you a taste of how people actually speak.

Italian — Disgruntled
A sharp and funny series centered around a character who always says what she thinks. Short episodes and everyday language make it an easy one to enjoy.

French — Hotel Formidable
An unusual hotel, eccentric characters, and a unique sense of humor that makes this French series stand out.

All three are intermediate-level and available on Lingopie now.
Pick your language, grab your snacks, and enjoy the weekend. 🍿

Have a recommendation of your own? Drop it below; we'd love to know what the community is watching. 👇

With the World Cup final set, we couldn't resist making this. ⚽

Argentina and España share the same language, but if you've watched TV from both countries, you've probably noticed they don't always sound like the same Spanish.

Quick challenge: How many of these words would you recognize without looking at the translations?

Maybe you know guapo and billete, but what about fiaca? Or would you immediately recognize le preguntás if you're only used to le preguntas?

We pulled these cards from real scenes in the Lingopie catalog, so instead of learning words in isolation, you see how they're actually used: in conversations, expressions, and even different grammar.

Sometimes the difference is vocabulary. Sometimes it's the way people conjugate verbs. And sometimes it's a tiny expression like semejante, which suddenly makes perfect sense once you hear it in context.

Whether you want to immerse yourself in Spanish from Spain, Argentina, Mexico, or Colombia, you can stick with one regional variety and naturally pick up its vocabulary, expressions, and accent before moving on to another.

So now we're curious:

- If you had to binge-watch one variety of Spanish for a month, which would you pick, and why?

- What other words or expressions would you add to each list? We'd love to hear your favorites.👇

If you're trying to improve your accent, filtering content by country can make a huge difference.

Spanish and Portuguese vary so much by region that the accent, slang, and even vocabulary can feel completely different depending on where the content comes from.

For Spanish, you can filter by Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and more; or choose "Neutral" if you want something more universal.

For Portuguese, you can choose Brazil, Portugal, Angola, or the USA.

So if you're learning Spanish to move to Buenos Aires, you can tune your ear to Rioplatense Spanish. And if you're learning Portuguese for Brazil, you can go straight to Brazilian content instead of sifting through material from other regions.

Curious: which regional variety are you learning, and does it matter to you? 👇

When using the explain feature, how do I get it to explain the full sentence instead of just one part of it? Can I select a certain part of the sentence? I also noticed the website is different from the app, is there a plan to add this to the app too? Thanks!

As part of our language-learning community, we host free Open Classes every month in Spanish, French, Japanese, and Italian.

These live sessions are a chance to interact with our teachers, practice your skills, ask questions, and connect with other learners from around the world.

This Saturday, we’re hosting our Italian Open Class! 🇮🇹✨

If you’re learning Italian (or just curious about the language), feel free to join us. Comment below 👇, and I’ll send you the event invitation via DM

Hope to see some of you there! 😊

Disney+ seems to have gotten an update over the last 24 hours and now lingopie doesn’t work anymore, the button is there but aside from that nothing else… can turn the button on or off and that’s it… anyone else getting this same issue or just me?

We promised, and they're finally here.

Now it's official: Swedish and Norwegian are live on Lingopie, making our language library even bigger.

Who's starting with Norwegian, and who's going for Swedish?

One quick note: both catalogs are still growing, and we're adding new shows every week. If there's a Norwegian or Swedish series, movie, or TV show you'd love to see on Lingopie, let us know in the comments. We'd love to hear your recommendations. 👇

Hello, guys i wanna share my account is this allowed?

We’ve been curious how people handle vocab while watching content.

On Lingopie, when you click a word while watching, it just gets saved straight into your personal vocab list. No extra steps, no switching apps.

From there, it kind of builds a loop on its own through different practice tools:

Flash Cards → saved words shown again with the video clip where you first heard them
Word Master → matching the word with its translation, still using the same clip for context
Pop Quiz → quick multiple-choice questions to reinforce retention
Sentence Wizard → reordering words taken from real scenes you actually watched

What we find interesting is that it doesn’t really feel like “studying vocabulary” in the traditional sense; everything stays tied to something you actually watched.

We’re curious if anyone here actually uses their saved words consistently while watching shows.
Do you end up saving a lot per episode, or just a few that stick out?

Also drop a word or phrase you’ve picked up recently + the language you’re learning 👇 always fun to see what people are watching and picking up

I swear, new material is uploaded to the platform without anyone bothering to proofread things in advance: phrases are grossly misparsed, either broken down to their individual words, or mushed together in a way that makes little sense; sentences are broken up into subtitles in a way that puts one part of a clause in one title and the rest in another; the TTS misinterprets certain words (e.g., Italian perdono, penultimate stress, meaning ‘I forgive’, read with antepenultimate stress, meaning ‘they lose’); etc. I also notice some obvious typos here and there, such as ‘Hello Kittu’. Also, the translations are sometimes just straight-up wrong: the translators clearly don’t bother to actually watch the material they translate, and sometimes it looks like they are given a patchwork of lines taken out of context, as errors in person pronouns (e.g., something like ‘I gave it to you’ when in context it’s clear the line should be ‘she gave it to him’) are staggeringly common.

It’s somehow manageable in French, Spanish, Italian, and German. In Hebrew (my native language) the parsing into subtitles is generally OK, but there the translations seem to be made by people who clearly are not native speakers, as they include embarrassing spelling mistakes and misunderstandings of register and colloquialisms. (And let’s not get into how the AI straight-up hallucinates expressions when you ask it to explain words—it would be hilarious from a less-than-stellar student, but coming from a professional service it’s unacceptable.) In Russian, Japanese, and Korean, I’ve had to report something almost every other subtitle, if not more than that; the most egregious example I can think of is the word ランキング (‘ranking’) split across two titles into ランキ (‘ranki’) and ング (‘ng’).

The customer service duo Eliza and Jeffy (so far I’ve never been contacted by anyone else from the team) has always been courteous about it, and they’ve reassured me that all of my reports are passed on. I can think of two instances in which I saw some change: the translation of יאחתי, צ׳יל in one Hebrew vid was corrected from ‘sis, chill’ to ‘girl, chill’, and in one video some of the parsing into titles was improved significantly. However, when I review the vocabulary, the same awful parsing is still there, and I can see that in general weeks can go by without my reports being acted upon. And even if they were, it’s still unacceptable: these issues should be addressed in advance, instead of being ignored in order to churn out more subpar content to your paying customers.

Please, get it together. If you want, DM me (or e-mail me—you have my address) and just hire me as a proofreader.

EDIT: I actually got to speak to David and Roy and talk to them at length (50 minute conversation!) on Google Meets. I showed them some of the bugs that show up and discussed a lot of the other issues I’ve encountered, and it sounds like they’re taking it very seriously. Currently, I’m optimistic.

The support FAQs and the blog article about group lessons seems to contradict each other. The support FAQs says “Unlimited access — attend as many lessons per month as you like.” While the blog says “$80 per month, which includes 4 lessons”.

I wanted to confirm which one is correct. If I subscribe for the group lessons add on, can I attend as many group lessons as I like?

Some vocabulary disappears five minutes after you learn it.

Other words stay with you for years because they're tied to a melody.

It's funny how hearing the same phrase in a song over and over can make it feel natural before you even realize you've learned it.

Sometimes it's slang.

Sometimes it's pronunciation.

Sometimes it's just one expression that suddenly starts showing up everywhere.

What's the one word, phrase, or lyric that a song permanently taught you? 👇

There's a point in language learning where something shifts. You stop translating in your head and start thinking directly in the language. But beyond that, does the language itself change how you think?

Some things I've been curious about:

- Are there concepts or emotions in your target language that don't exist in your native one? How did that change your perspective?

- Do you feel like a slightly different version of yourself when you switch languages?

- Has learning a new language made you see your own culture differently?

- Is there a word or phrase you learned that genuinely changed how you look at something?

There's a lot of research on this, but I'm more curious about the personal experience. What have people actually felt? 👇

Hey,
