About

Language learning combines it all. Logic, memory, listening, empathy, muscle memory, interpretation, and cultural backgrounds are all part of the journey.

With Lingophant it is time to create a smart system that makes natural learning much more effective.

We’re based in Vienna under strict data privacy laws, but active world-wide where the language learning happens.

Why Lingophant?

As an exchange student I wanted to learn the local language, but I only had six months there. I joined a classroom course and tried all mobile apps I could find. But no way I’d get fluent that way. What I wanted was speaking to people and remembering the sentences that I needed to communicate and have fun.

As soon as you’re having fun, it becomes easier to learn.

That was eight years ago and since then I’ve been building this tool. Now that it’s available I am very happy with how it helped me learn Russian in 12 weeks. I think the talk below explains why it works so well. After I watched it I decided to just do it and actually create Lingophant.

I hope you see what we’re trying to do here and that it can benefit your personal learning journey. We love learning and building real connections around the world. Join us on Discord if you’re interested in getting to know us better (it’s been a bit inactive, but we hang out there).

We share course revenues

We’re more than just an app, we help create excellent courses. And we give creators a possibility to sell a course through us, without being overwhelmed with all the required skills and set-ups.

Course revenues are shared between the course producers, the people in videos who borrow us their face and story, the people doing the editing, and Lingophant as a company.

We’re a global and independent company.

Lingophant has worked with people from Brazil, Germany, Egypt, Italy, Kazakhstan, Chile, Russia, Georgia, the US and many more. We wanna be that new start-up that does things differently.

100% of our company is founder owned, who used salaries and savings to fund the development of this method over 8 years. We don’t have investors interested in selling the company for as much profit as possible, and we will treat your data like we would want companies to treat our own data, meaning that we won’t use your private voice data for e.g. training AI models.

Our mission is to make language learning great again. (lol did he just?) And make the world a better place through education, technology, and collaboration.
