u/Lingopietv

Some vocabulary disappears five minutes after you learn it.

Other words stay with you for years because they're tied to a melody.

It's funny how hearing the same phrase in a song over and over can make it feel natural before you even realize you've learned it.

Sometimes it's slang.

Sometimes it's pronunciation.

Sometimes it's just one expression that suddenly starts showing up everywhere.

What's the one word, phrase, or lyric that a song permanently taught you? 👇

There's a point in language learning where something shifts. You stop translating in your head and start thinking directly in the language. But beyond that, does the language itself change how you think?

Some things I've been curious about:

- Are there concepts or emotions in your target language that don't exist in your native one? How did that change your perspective?

- Do you feel like a slightly different version of yourself when you switch languages?

- Has learning a new language made you see your own culture differently?

- Is there a word or phrase you learned that genuinely changed how you look at something?

There's a lot of research on this, but I'm more curious about the personal experience. What have people actually felt? 👇

Hey,

We've got your weekend plans covered... and a little gift for you. 🎁

We recently recorded our latest Onboarding Webinar, where our team walks through the platform, shares useful tips, and highlights features that many learners don't discover right away.

Whether you're brand new to Lingopie or you've been using it for a while, there's a good chance you'll pick up something new.

Watch whenever you have time, and if you have any questions, feature requests, or topics you'd like us to cover in future webinars, let us know in the comments. We'd love to hear from you! 👇

Hey,

We're actively working on the extension and want to hear directly from the people using it.

Not a formal survey, just a genuine conversation. Whether you use it every day or tried it once and moved on, your experience is useful to us.

A few things we're curious about:

- What do you use the extension for most?
- Is there a feature you wish worked differently?
- Anything missing that would make it a proper part of your daily routine?
- Any bugs or friction points that made you stop using it?

All feedback welcome, the good, the bad, and the "why doesn't it do this yet." That's exactly what helps us build something worth using. 👇

One of the hidden gems on Lingopie: short stories.

They're 5–15 minute reads with an interactive transcript; same click-to-translate and save functionality you get in the video player, but for reading. Different skill, different pace, same vocabulary tools.

The way I think they work best alongside the shows:

After watching an episode, you're already warmed up in the language, and reading feels more natural.

On days you don't have time for a full episode, a short story is a lower-effort way to keep the streak going.

For languages where reading and listening feel very different (looking at you, Greek, Russian, Polish)

Has anyone built them into their routine? Which language, and did you notice a difference in how quickly you picked up vocabulary compared to watching only?

And if you haven't tried them yet, they're worth checking out next time you're on the platform 👇.

Just a heads up for anyone who's been asking: Norwegian and Swedish are on their way to Lingopie.

No full details yet, but it's confirmed and coming soon.

Curious who's been waiting for this one. Are you learning either language already, or is this what finally gets you started? And if you're already on Norwegian or Swedish — what are you using right now?

Drop it below. 👇

Curious how people here actually split their Lingopie time across devices.

The experience is a bit different depending on where you watch. The browser gives you more screen real estate for the script panel and tools, and mobile is obviously more flexible for when you're out. And then there's TV for a full immersion session on the couch.

A few things I'm curious about:

- Do you have a main device you default to, or does it depend on the day?

- Are there tools or features you only use on one platform and not the other?

- For mobile users — do you use it more for watching or for the practice tools (flashcards, quizzes)?

No right answer here, just trying to get a picture of how people actually build this into their routine. 👇

The weekend is a good moment to think about this. Consistency is the one thing everyone agrees on in language learning. Actually building it is a different story.

I want to hear what's genuinely working for people, not the ideal version, the real one. The 15-minute sessions that actually happen, the specific time of day that sticks, the way you combine Lingopie with whatever else you're doing.

A few prompts if it helps:

- When do you watch? Morning, commute, evening wind-down?

- How long per session? And is that by choice or by what fits?

- What do you do on low-energy days? Full episode, news clip, just flashcards?

- What made you fall off before, if you did?

The goal isn't to collect perfect routines, it's to find what's realistic. If your "habit" is 10 minutes of news while you make coffee, that counts, and it's worth sharing.

What's yours? 👇

Hey!

Excited to share that Song of the Day is now live on the iOS app. 🎶

https://preview.redd.it/q2ny0uo4yw3h1.png?width=330&format=png&auto=webp&s=766a05703e5e3daa8c300b44973c6e531e50cff2

Here's how it works: every day you get a featured song. You listen, follow along with the bilingual lyrics in real time, and tap any word or phrase that catches your attention; you get the translation, the grammar category, and audio pronunciation right there on screen.

At the end of the song, you get a "You're in Tune!" moment and the option to launch a quiz or keep going with the next video. The idea is to build a daily habit; one song a day gets you to 150 new words in 30 days.

It makes the daily check-in feel a lot more fun. Curious if anyone's tried it already, what song came up for you today?

These are real reactions from people who attended our last session.

If you've been using Lingopie and feel like you're not getting the most out of it, or if you just started and want a proper walkthrough, this one's for you.

Free, no pressure. Just a walkthrough of everything the platform can do.

See you there. 👋

Weekend plans just got a language learning excuse.

Looking for recommendations, and also curious about the context behind them. Not just "watch this show" but: what were you actually getting out of it? Was it the vocabulary? The pace? The cultural references? Did you understand 20% of it at first and keep going anyway?

Drop your recommendation below with:

- The show (and language)

- Your level when you started it

- What it did for your learning

Doesn't matter if it's something obvious or completely obscure, if it worked for you, it's worth sharing. Someone here is probably looking for exactly that. 👇

Starting a new language on Lingopie? Here's how to get the most out of the tools from day one.

Step 1 — Start watching and save as you go
While you watch, click any word you don't know. Hit Save, and it goes straight into your personal vocab list; no copy-pasting, no separate app.

Step 2 — Those saved words become your flashcards automatically
Lingopie builds your flashcard deck from the words you actually encounter in the shows you watch. Each card shows the clip where you originally heard the word, so you always have context. Spaced repetition handles the scheduling.

Step 3 — Add the other tools as you build confidence

• Flash Cards → flip through your saved words with the original video clip as context. The spaced repetition system decides when to bring each word back.
• Word Master → match each word with its correct translation, with the original video clip as context. Good for reinforcing meaning.
• Pop Quiz → quick multiple choice. Good for checking retention.
• Sentence Wizard → rearrange the words of a sentence in the right order. Helps with structure.

The general rule: don't try to use everything at once. Pick one or two tools and go consistently; 15-20 minutes a day beats a two-hour session once a week.

What's your go-to tool when you start a new language? Curious what's actually working for people here. 👇

Hey everyone,

If you haven't used the Script feature in the extension yet, here's what it does: while you watch, the full transcript runs alongside the video. The current line highlights in real time, and you can click any word to get an instant breakdown — translation, grammar category, gender, all of it.

The new update: you can now choose which language the script appears in, the same way you already switch subtitles.

So, depending on your level, you can:

- Keep the script in your target language and click through words you don't know

- Switch to a language you're more comfortable with when you need it

Worth exploring if you haven't already. Anyone using the script panel regularly? Curious how people combine it with the subtitle settings.

Hey!

Big update today: we just added 20 new language combinations to the platform. This one's especially for those of you whose first language isn't English. There are now a lot more ways to learn the language you want, starting from the one you already speak.

Here's exactly what's new:

Spanish speakers can now learn:
Portuguese · Russian · Korean · Dutch · Greek

French speakers can now learn:
Russian · Dutch · Turkish · Greek

German speakers can now learn:
Portuguese · Dutch · Greek · Polish

Italian speakers can now learn:
Dutch · Turkish

Portuguese speakers can now learn:
Russian · Korean · Dutch · Turkish · Polish

All 20 are live now. Your existing tools — flashcards, Word Master, Sentence Wizard — work across all of them, and each language has its own catalog of shows, news, and podcasts to learn from.

Which new pair are you most excited about? And if your combo still isn't there, drop it below. It's always good to know what the community is looking for. 👇
