Linga: Read & Learn Languages

This is a beautiful app. It has a gorgeous display and is user friendly. The simple interface minimizes distractions and makes language learning a truly serene experience. I wish that there was an option to add widgets to a Mac, iPad and iPhone home screen because this app is gorgeous.

This app is incredible. As someone who has a major in a foreign language and, is going back to relearn the language after 15 years, I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to find this app! The way you can read a book so fluidly and tap on any word for an instant translation is wonderful. It keeps you immersed in the dialogue while offering you tons of features to save the word you just tapped on to be able to reference it later, to use that word as a flash card later, to instantly look up the etymology (which supports memorization), it gives you pronunciation, and many more very thoughtful features! I just started using it but I can see how this app will make reading in my second language way less daunting and lead to me learning the language so much faster! Wonderful work on this app! The fact that you can add your own books to it is awesome too!

It’s better if maybe the user can use the target language to learn the target language. For example, i always try to use easy English to learn complex English and I found it very beneficial for the subtleties of language learning. I believe the definition is provided with your ChatGPT translation already but maybe I can choose to show the learner’s definition in the default top definition section. Right now if I choose Chinese as native language and tap an English word, it shows the direct translation in the definition section and if I choose English as both native and target language, the definition section will only show the tapped word itself. A simpler one sentence easy version of learner’s definition (which is already in the AI generated definition now) in the target language would be great as an option for learners like me. Please consider adding it.
