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!

Great!

great way to learn a language while reading posts you're actually interested in.

so oool)))

cool product

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?

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

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

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.

Wow. Just downloaded and took a spin. Well done guys. Question...how did you decide which sites/publications to add for each language?

Very Cool product! I totally agree that the best way to learn a language is by doing. Question: Is it going to stay free or are you planning to release a freemium version with in-app purchases?

interesting product - can see it being useful. suggestion. why hold a word to translate it? will a tap not do, or maybe it's a tech thing 🙂

Looks cool but is there any reason why non of my Android devices are compatible with it? I don't see how that can be for the Huawei Mate 9 running nougat. Like does the app need a 10-core CPU to run or what? I think there's an issue with your submission to the Play Store, it incorrectly flags devices as incompatible.

This looks *amazing*. This is definitely the way I learned English, and even German, back when I still had any working knowledge of that language. I see Danish will be added soon, and that just makes me crazy excited. Thank you!

It's nice to see there are 22 languages available already!

So saw this "Every language has an amazing variety of books, blogs, TV shows, and music." but for Japanese it seemed your options were to browse websites, click on words to be translated (poorly - an article about Mars got the word order wrong and tried to say the planet was not like earth but had an earth-like atmosphere rather than the reverse), and some flash cards. Are the TV, Books, etc hidden? Or should there be some indication of which languages have what?

Fantastic idea and a great product! Might want to change your sign up flow to AFTER users discovered the value of your app.. Duolingo is a great example to model after. And I had some problems with "De Telegraaf" requiring my cookie consent, but I can't seem to click the consent button... This will be my new go-to app for learning languages :))

Really great initiative. Definitely one of the best ways to learn a language in my opinion (being fully immersed). The app's performances could, however, be much better to be honest (very average on an iPhone 6 for example). Do you have any plan regarding this matter? Again, thank you for your hard work!

Do you guys support Chinese (Mandarin) ?

Will use for the next couple of weeks and share my feedback. But great stuff! :)

Pros:

Looks pretty useful. I specially liked the book version. Was pretty much bored with Duolingo after completing all the chapters there.

Cons:

Looks like the app is not very optimised for performance but i understand the focus would be more on to test the usability.
