Week 1: the Worm (click to expand)
Start Digging
We’re showing an animal evolution in our journey, starting with the worm. It shows your progress.
So this week is about learning to dig new phrases into your long term memory. The video below explains it.
- Phrases can have the status❗️needing practice or 😴 known.
- ❗️practice them and they become 😴 known
- After some time, 😴 known phrases need ❗️ practice again.
- We calculate the optimal time.
That way they enter your long-term memory efficiently.
What you need to do to complete this week:
✅ Install the Lingophant App
✅ Create an account in the app, from the “sharing” tab at the bottom of the app.
✅ Go to the Content Page of your language and unlock the first 4 Basic Phrase Sets there and download the phrases to your phone 📲 .
✅ Open the app every day and memorize those needing ❗️ practice.
Replace some social media or news-reading habits and become a person that can say things and understand others in a new language!
Have your 🎧 headphones always with you, because you will need them for practicing.
Welcome !
Week 2: the Seastar
Start Floating
Hello again!
This week, you will learn the second weekly practice routine: Listening-Reading Practice
If you practice phrases 5x per week, and practice listening 2x per week, you will develop a natural feeling of how the language works. The two methods combine together perfectly.
And that’s how with just 30 minutes of work per day you can find your way in a completely different language system.
On our language pages, you can start your listening practice with 30-minute guided listening videos.
What you need to do to complete this week:
✅ Spend 2 x 30 minute listening with a video from your language page.
✅ Add 4 more Basic Phrase Sets from your language page
✅ Keep practicing on the app every day.
Next week you should have your first weekly lesson. Private lessons are great, and you can practice all new words afterwards. That way lessons will be like 5x as effective as normally!
Week 3: the Rat
Start Exploring
Alright, time for some contact with humans!
Yes, you’re ready.
Because every mistake you make, will be something you can practice afterwards.
If your teacher records words and phrases based on what you wanted to say and mistakes you made, then what you learn is 100% personalised and adapted to your level. Right?
How to work with a teacher:
Here’s the link to a platform with affordable teachers.
Go ahead and book 5 lessons with a teacher. If you book 5 lessons they’ll be happy to try out a new app for you.
Get to know them and ask them to try the app in the first lesson to record a few phrases and send them to you afterwards. Just pick someone you like
With this referral link above, you get 5€ worth of extra credits if you spend more than 20€. And we also get a few euros, but it’s up to you.

All you need to do this week is:
✅ Pick a teacher, book a lesson this week, ideally in a 5 lesson pack. And ask the teacher to record some phrases for you. You can always cancel and find someone else.
✅ Practice all phrases. Seriously. Or it might become too much in the future!
✅ Spend some time watching content from your language’s page, like Listening-Reading for at least 30 minutes.
Starting this week, you will have a total of 10 practice conversation with personalized phrases. After that you’ll know around 300-500 phrases by heart. That will be enough to enjoy speaking.
Just keep practicing regularly 🙂
