Learn Spanish | LingQ

This app is so useful for language learning. I do have criticisms, e.g., th user interface is confusing and at first overwhelming, i wish it were easier to import whole books and that it were easier to choose the kinds of practice exercises to use. But on the whole this is such a hugely valuable tool.

I’ve learned more Spanish in one month using LingQ than I did in two years of high school Spanish. If you are self motivated and love to read, this is the app for you. Loads of interesting intermediate level materials to choose from that have greatly enhanced my abilities to recognize and remember verb conjugations! No boring, ineffective grammar tables and word lists to memorize. Through reading and listening to the language spoke by natives at a normal speed, you will pick up grammar and meaning through context. I am addicted to this app!

I've enjoyed the features LingQ has to offer. But I cannot recommend it to others at this time, because I have watched people called "morons", had their mothers and fathers insulted, and left a dozen bullying comments by unknown users. If it was a one-time thing, that would be a problem with the individual user. The repeat offenses by the same people make it a LingQ platform problem - they go around publicly insulting person after person. Until it's a safe place for people learning, free of playground bullies, I can't recommend it to others. "Kicking a puppy", "fraud", "liar", "fool", "your dad left as a kid", "can't get a job", "your intelligence is lacking": that's the abuse that strangers leave you with on this platform.
