Feature Requests

If I already know "pen", it would be nice if it didn't show "pens" as a new word Especially frustrating in korean since the same word shows up so many times because of different conjugations

there are some phrases not really always staying together, like pick something up, and I only want to creat a LingQ of “pick up”. And this problem is more deadly for the German separabale verbs(which are very commonly seprated and German learners cannot creat LingQ for them)

It would be nice if I could continue practicing pronunciation after getting 100/100 on "review sentence" -- simply do NOT take away the "try again" link after getting a perfect score. (Also, I would appreciate being able to go straight into pronunciation without the quiz and having to click "skip" to get to that part.)

There are loads of copyright free ebooks and audiobooks available in classic literature. If there was an upload feature that could accept an mp3 and then a bulk of text in some format and auto-sync the two, it would be a great way to easily add TONS of compelling content to the library.

Mentioned previously in various posts but let me add this formally as a feature request. In Vietnamese, and possibly other languages too, a single English word is very often split across 2 or more words in Vietnamese. As an example, the word breakfast translates as bữa sáng. But LingQ currently treats these as 2 independent words rather than a single entity. It's as if in English LingQ were to treat 'break' and 'fast' as 2 disconnected words and supply all the meanings for the 2 individual words but not the combination. Ideally, two changes are needed to LingQ: First a look-ahead function for each word to see if the word combination ranks higher in frequency than the separate words. If so, to make 'break fast' as the pre-LingQ (ie bữa sáng in Vietnamese) rather than the 2 individual words. Second, if a LingQ for the word combination is present then LingQ should suppress showing the individual component words in the vocabulary list in page or sentence view. Otherwise the vocab list gets very bloated and cluttered making it difficult to spot the meaning for a particular word. I suspect that this second feature would be easier to implement than the first. Implementing both would be the perfect solution. But the second feature alone would be real progress.

For some languages, the current number of 9 words for creating a phrase Lingq is a real limit. Seeing that you are improving speed now, would it be possible to expand it? For example, a language like German needs often more words because of the structure of the sentence. Creating a Lingq for a longer sentence would help to better understand separated verbs, or verbs structures that are far from each other. In the screenshot below, you can see many cases in one short paragraph and it's often like this. At the end, a user gives up. Thanks.

I think it would be nice to have a scrolling mode available for the reader on top of the left/right buttons. Not only would it enhance the reading experience (especially on mobile devices), but it could provide a solution to the infamous “paging moves to known” that a lot of people hate.

Hello LingQ Support Team, I have encountered an issue when trying to select certain words or expressions in LingQ. The problem mainly occurs with separable verbs (trennbare Verben) and multi-word expressions such as prepositional phrases, fixed collocations, and idioms. For example: In a sentence containing "vorstellen", I cannot select the full verb. Instead, LingQ only allows me to choose "vor" or "stellen", making it impossible to save and learn the full word correctly. Similarly, with expressions like "an ... interessiert sein", I suspect that the system will not allow selecting the full phrase. This limitation makes it difficult to properly learn German vocabulary, especially separable verbs, adjective-noun combinations, and fixed phrases. Would it be possible to add a feature that allows selecting full expressions across multiple words? This would greatly improve the learning experience for German learners. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards

When importing eBooks, allow users to manually define chapter start and end points. Alternatively, implement an AI-powered chapter detection feature to automatically identify chapter breaks within the eBook file. This will allow LingQ to create lessons based on chapters instead of arbitrary word counts, making it easier for users to track their progress and complete reading goals on a per-chapter basis.

I’ve been using LingQ and really enjoy the platform, but I wanted to suggest a feature that would improve the listening experience. Right now, the audio can only be played from the beginning or rewound in increments, but there’s no way to start playback from a specific word in the text. It would be incredibly useful if clicking on a word in a lesson would make the audio start from that point. This would help a lot with comprehension and repetition, especially when trying to focus on tricky sentences or unknown words. I know LingQ already has sentence mode and text-to-speech for individual words, but having the ability to start playback from any word in the full audio would make learning even smoother. I’d love to see this feature added in a future update! Thanks for all the hard work on LingQ it's a great tool, and I appreciate the effort that goes into improving it!
