“I use this amazing app every single day for reading and learning new vocabulary. It has helped me improve my language skills while making learning enjoyable. Thank you to the developers for creating such a useful and well-designed app.”
“This app is amazing. As a dedicated German learner, it is simply the best app for reading a lot and learning vocabulary. It lets you see the meaning of a word in context, as well as the whole sentence. You can also import any ebook. I recommended it to colleagues, and they became paid customers too.”
“Everything is convenient and clear, the navigation is easy, and the app is thought through down to the smallest details. It actually inspired me to study the language, and I want to return to it again and again because it is interesting to read real articles and immediately save everything for learning.”
“Even when I am busy, I can practice English reading and listening in just 3 minutes. It is great for extensive reading. I can choose short content, answer comprehension questions, and use the built-in dictionary when I do not understand something. This is my favorite app.”
“Seeing the meaning of a word instantly while reading, and also seeing the meaning of the whole sentence with that word in context, speeds up the learning process. It is very good.”
“I found this app after hearing that extensive reading is good for English learning. Unknown words can be looked up with one tap, and because there is audio, I can learn with both my eyes and ears. I can read books and catalogs in areas I am interested in, like science and psychology, so it does not feel like studying. I am enjoying it and recommend it.”
“This app has been so enjoyable and has improved my reading skills. I love that you can click on any word you do not know and learn the definition instantly.”
“I use Lingard as a tool to learn Spanish, and I meet with a tutor three times a week. Lingard helps me with new vocabulary through flashcards, great learning drills, and spelling practice. Lingard books have helped me understand sentence structure and improve my listening and reading skills. If there were a lifetime subscription option, I would buy it.”
“I use it every day for reading. It is a great app for reading material; I literally do not need any other resources for reading practice or vocabulary flashcards.”
“A very good system for learning English. I study words for 15 minutes, read for 30 minutes, then retell what I read. After 3 months, I have already started speaking.”
