I’m a beginner / I only have a very basic level in my target language. Is Langua a good choice for me?

Whilst Langua is most popular with basic and intermediate level learners, it can still be a powerful tool if you’re a beginner.

If you have Langua Pro, you can practice conversations with AI characters that sound like native-speakers. With the 'complete beginner' level setting selected, the AI will always translate what it has said immediately after saying it. You can read as you listen, and replay the audio.

Of course, replying is still tricky as a beginner! Here are some tips: you can talk in your own language when stuck and the AI will still usually understand you. Feel free to mix the languages during a sentence when needed. Also, via the lightbulb button at the bottom, you can see suggested replies and use them.

When browsing videos or podcasts, you can select your level at the top to see content that’s suitable for you. If you can’t find something that’s right for you, there’s also the option to search for other podcasts we have not featured.

By showing you transcripts that highlight each word as it’s spoken, as well as enabling you to translate words and sentences easily, we make content more comprehensible.

Plus, you can go to ‘Build my vocab’ and click on Most Common Words. There, you can access flashcard packs that contain words in order of how frequently they're used, together with translations and usage examples. You can quickly add these words and learn them efficiently using our carefully designed flashcard system. Note that currently the common words packs only exist for certain language combinations, but you can also generate custom lists based on your interests.
