Which Languages Can I Learn with Lingvist?
Updated
Lingvist offers one subscription that covers 50+ language courses, accessible on the web or mobile. The languages explicitly named on its site include English, Spanish (Europe), French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Spanish (Latin America), Estonian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian. If your target language is one of these, you can start immediately; if it isn't listed, the site's "50+ courses" claim suggests broader coverage, but you'd need to check the in-app language selector to confirm.
Languages named on the Lingvist site
The homepage language selector lists the following options:
| Language | Variant noted |
|---|---|
| English | — |
| Spanish | Europe and Latin America |
| French | — |
| German | — |
| Russian | — |
| Japanese | — |
| Korean | — |
| Italian | — |
| Estonian | — |
| Portuguese | Brazil |
| Dutch | — |
| Polish | — |
| Swedish | — |
| Danish | — |
| Norwegian | — |
Two things stand out here. First, Lingvist distinguishes between European and Latin American Spanish, and specifies Brazilian Portuguese rather than Portuguese generally — useful if your goal is a particular regional variant. Second, the list mixes widely studied languages (French, German, Japanese) with smaller ones (Estonian, Danish, Norwegian), which is unusual for a mainstream app and worth noting if you're learning a less common language.
What "50+ courses" means in practice
The site states "One subscription, 50+ language courses." The named languages above are the ones shown in the selector, so the full catalog is larger than what's displayed on the homepage. To confirm whether a specific language is available, the most reliable check is the language selection screen itself — either on the web or in the mobile app — since that reflects the actual course list rather than marketing copy.
How the courses work once you pick a language
Course structure is the same regardless of which language you choose:
- AI-based placement. Lingvist positions you at a level — beginner, intermediate, or advanced — so you start with words relevant to where you are rather than from a fixed starting point.
- Frequency-first vocabulary. You learn the most common words first. Lingvist states these cover 80% of everyday scenarios, and each word comes with an example sentence and grammar information.
- Spaced repetition. A spaced repetition algorithm schedules when you review words, so you repeat them at the right intervals.
- Custom Decks. You can turn your own word lists or text into a custom course — useful for industry-specific or topic-specific vocabulary.
Practical points before you commit
- Access: Courses are available on both web and mobile, so you can switch devices.
- Pricing: Lingvist has a dedicated pricing page, and the site describes access as "one subscription" covering all courses. Specific prices and any free-tier limits aren't stated in the source material, so check the pricing page directly rather than assuming a free option.
- Variant choice matters: If you're learning Spanish or Portuguese, decide upfront whether you want the European or Latin American Spanish course, or the Brazilian Portuguese course, since these are separate options.
