Where is my language?

We are constantly adding languages. Right now our priority is adding Thai and Vietnamese. Please leave feedback if you would like a language added.

Can I import my own content?

Yes! You can import EPUBs, plain text, web articles, and even videos with captions. This allows you to learn with content that interests you.

How do the word highlighting features work?

Words are automatically color-coded based on your familiarity. New words appear in blue, words you've seen before but haven't mastered appear in yellow, and words you know well remain unhighlighted, making it easy to focus on what you need to learn.

How is this different from traditional language learning methods?

Unlike traditional methods that focus on grammar rules and vocabulary lists, Lingua Verbum is based on the input hypothesis — you acquire language naturally by understanding messages in context. This approach is more effective, enjoyable, and leads to better long-term retention.

Do I need to study grammar separately?

No. When you read extensively, your brain naturally recognizes patterns and internalizes grammar rules without explicit study. Our language assistant can explain grammar points when you need clarification, but the primary learning happens through exposure.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Absolutely. You can cancel your subscription at any time with no questions asked. Your premium features will remain active until the end of your billing period.

Do you have any more detail on how to use the tool?

Yes! You can find more information on how to use the tool here.

I'm coming from LingQ, can I import my progress?

Yes! You can use our Google Chrome extension to import all your known words, LingQs, and Ignored Words. You won't lose a second of progress!

Do you have an iPhone/Android app?

Yes! Lingua Verbum is available on both the App Store and Google Play Store. Learn on the go with all your vocabulary progress synced across devices.
