LingQ is a web and mobile language learning app that connects users to a world of authentic content.
Learners can listen to audio or watch video while reading along with the accompanying text and translate words and phrases in real time. These words and phrases are then studied in future lesson and with vocabulary activities. All progress is tracked, and so learners can see how close they are getting to reaching the next level in their target language.
Other features of the LingQ system include writing and pronunciation correction, video lessons with native speakers and access to active forums of language learners and tutors who can answer questions on all aspects of the language learning process.
The LingQ system was co-founded by polyglot Steve Kaufmann, who speaks 16 languages and is currently learning his seventeenth.

LingQ was launched in late 2007 by Steve Kaufmann and his son Mark to develop better tools for language learners.
The LingQ system is based on Steve's experiences learning languages. Until the age of 17 Steve only spoke English. After 10 years of French lessons in school, Steve still couldn’t speak it. It was at the point that Steve decided to find a way to learn languages that works.
The system that Steve developed forms the basis of the LingQ system enabling thousands of learners from all over the world to enjoy language learning and successfully reach their goals.
LingQ is a fun, simple way to learn languages from authentic, interesting content. Learning the language from the language itself, just as most children learn their own language.
Steve Kaufmann has proven that this system works – He now speaks 20 languages. Along with over 1,000,000 LingQ members who continue to prove it every day
