About Lingoberry
A language-learning app that asks you to actually produce the language — then explains what you got right and what you didn't.
How it started
Lingoberry was built out of frustration. After years of using apps that felt more like gamified flashcard drills than actual language practice, the founder hit a ceiling at B1 Spanish that none of them could help break through. The problem wasn't motivation — it was that recognising vocabulary in multiple-choice questions is nothing like constructing a sentence from scratch.
So Lingoberry was built around one idea: make you produce the language, every session, at your level, with feedback that explains the reasoning rather than just marking you right or wrong. Read the full origin story →
Meet Pip
Pip is a fairy-like lingonberry character — encouraging, playful, and quietly obsessed with languages. Pip writes every exercise, gives every piece of feedback, and has a habit of pointing out the linguistic curveballs that make a language worth learning. Not a blueberry. Very much a lingonberry.
See it in action
Four exercise types, all with detailed feedback from Pip.
Translation
Pip writes a paragraph on any topic you choose. You translate it. The feedback breaks down grammar, word choice, and naturalness — not just a score.
Dictation
Listen to a sentence and type what you hear. Scored word by word so you can see exactly where your ear slipped — the endings, the articles, the words that blur together in speech.
Fill in the blank
A sentence with key words removed, with the base form as a hint when you need one. Good for drilling the endings a language expects you to produce without thinking.
Reading comprehension
A passage at your CEFR level followed by comprehension questions — the exercise that shows whether you understood the text or just recognised the words.
Feedback that explains itself
Most language apps tell you "incorrect" and move on. Lingoberry shows you the corrected version, explains why each change was made, flags anything that sounds unnatural to a native speaker, and gives you a score that reflects what actually matters — accuracy, grammar, and naturalness, not just spelling.
What makes it different
Your level, per language
Content is pitched to your CEFR level (A1–C2) and adjusts as you improve. Learning two languages at different levels? Each one keeps its own.
A short list of languages we can vouch for
We offer a curated set of language pairs rather than every combination we could technically generate. Each one has a natural-sounding voice for dictation and output we can verify.
First Steps for beginners
New to the language? The guided onboarding path introduces vocabulary, recognition, matching, and production in sequence before sending you into freeform exercises.
