We’re excited to share our new language learning app, Flowlingo. Our app is built around a few simple principles: - The best way to learn is by doing. To practice reading in Spanish, you should read Spanish articles and books. To practice listening, you should spend time with TV shows, music, and podcasts. - Real content is better than “educational content”. Every language has an amazing variety of books, blogs, TV shows, and music. Choose whatever interests you, and Flowlingo will make it accessible, even if you’re a beginner. - The best way to stay motivated is to enjoy the process. With Flowlingo, you learn by doing the same things you already enjoy — in the language you want to practice. - Regular practice is key to improvement. There’s new content every day, and Flowlingo makes it easy to get a few minutes of learning while you’re on the go. - Real learning progress is better than gamification. It's not about collecting “points” or extending your “streak”. It's about the satisfaction of breezing through articles you used to think were difficult, and moving on to more challenging material. We hope you give Flowlingo a shot, and let us know what you think!

Since @mkelly first told me about the idea for Flowlingo - I thought it was an incredible one. Learning by doing is always more impactful than just learning to learn... So why should it be different for a language? Just read the web and learn a language... or watch a show, learn a language, read a book, learn a language. So my question for you @mkelly -- what's coming next? More languages? More content? How do you think the product will evolve?

Thanks for hunting Flowlingo, @jsneedles! Our mission is to make effective language learning fun and accessible to everyone. Flowlingo is fun because you get to choose from real news, blogs, and videos to practice with. We strive to have something for everyone, so adding more content and more languages is our primary focus right now. We're constantly adding content and have plans to enable the Flowlingo community to help us find and add interesting books and videos faster. We support 22 languages already and are adding more—if a language you're interested in is missing from our app, let us know and we'll add it soon! Right now, the app is great for learning how to read and listen. We'd like to take the same principles and apply them to practicing writing and speaking as well in the future.

An innovative, smart and easy-to-use tool to improve learning a language. Suggested to those who are looking for a "fast" way to grow vocabulary

Pros:

Easy, smart and fast to improve learning

Cons:

No service for desktop view

Matt Kelly
Thanks for the review! I'm glad you like it. We plan to support desktop in the future.

This is great!

I mainly learned english by watching movies, reading books, etc. in english so your method makes perfect sense to me.

In fact, I think that it is essentially the best way to learn how to speak like a native (because the classical way of learning tends to yield overly formal results).

Just a couple notes:

1. When you tap on a word and immediately tap on another the two audio dictation (by the way, great feature) run at the same time.

2. You should implement a "Personal Goal" feature where people can set objectives for themselves (like how many articles to read in a week or how many words to learn etc.)

Pros:

Ingenious and intuitive way of mastering a foreign language

Cons:

Still needs some tweeks

Matt Kelly
Thanks for the review! For #1, do you mind emailing us at contact@getflowlingo.com or tapping "Help" in the app (it goes straight to chat with us) so that we can investigate? #2 is a great idea and something we plan on supporting in the future.

Just what I can say is only one "Perfect". Because a fact that I want to learn a lot of languages, in my idea this one will help me.
Matt Kelly
Thanks @babken_karapetyan! Let me know if you have any feedback (you can just tap "Help" in the app to chat).

Wow. Just downloaded and took a spin. Well done guys. Question...how did you decide which sites/publications to add for each language?
Matt Kelly
Thanks @jundishes! We add sites that have high quality, frequent content and support a given language--meaning the content is created by professionals in that language. For example, New York Times is available in Chinese, Spanish, and English, so it's available for those languages in Flowlingo.
Jun Song
@mkelly gotcha, thank you. Keep up the great work!
