Built to teach, and only to teach.

Lingonaut has been crafted from the ground up to be fun and educational, without sacrificing one for the other.

Delve into the language as locals do, picking up essential phrases and cultural insights, with useful and informative lessons and exercises which help you pick up and hold onto knowledge, not to keep user retention up.

Designed to make learning fun (and effective, too!)

Earn experience, trophies & achievements to show off to your friends and the world, as proof of your progress!

Climb the leaderboards, challenge your friends, race against the clock and unlock new stories, themes and more!

Our singular goal is to make language education free, accessible and effective, not to drive revenue and profit at the cost of everything else.

We learn best together

Just like languages, Lingonaut is focused on social interaction. It includes sentence discussions, forums, and leaderboards to keep learners engaged and motivated! This social approach makes learning enjoyable while connecting people who share a passion for languages.

Don’t understand why an answer is incorrect? Have an alternative interpretation for a sentence or word? Sentence discussions and forums allow you to discuss it with your fellow Lingonauts and push changes or corrections too!

Steered using community feedback

Rest assured that your learning experience won’t be subject to A/B testing or surprise sweeping changes to how Lingonaut, and your learning, works.

We keep open a two way stream of communication with Lingonauts, on Reddit, Discord, and the Lingonaut forums, ensuring only things you want changed are changed to make them better for you, not to drive up revenue growth.

Made by native speaking volunteers, not AI

Passionate volunteers with an intimate knowledge of the language you’re trying to learn make our courses actually useful in the real world. Cutting out AI from the course-building process means that what you learn is quality, and not just padded out with quantity.

Learning a new language is better when the exercises make sense!

Privately held, funded by Patreon

By being privately held & not a public company, and not being funded by ads or investors, there’s no conflicting interests between having to make money, and making the user experience for Lingonauts truly special.

We only answer to you, not shareholders.
