As I’m reading a lesson and listening to the audio, I often want to click a word to see its definition. But the audio keeps playing, so I need to pause the audio first and then go back to find the word that I wanted to click on. It would be awesome if the audio could automatically pause when I click on a word, then automatically resume when I dismiss the definition popup. Then I wouldn’t lose my place as I pause and resume the audio.

It would be very helpful if the IPA of a tapped word/phrase could be shown in the corresponding popup. As a reader of “Le Français par la Méthode Nature”, I get so much out of having per-word IPA underneath the running text — it has helped me so much to improve my pronunciation.

I use the vocabulary review flashcards. The meaning appears for the word in question but it would be nice if there were also an option to see the translation for the example sentence/context of the word

Many of us use Lingq to read books and it would be nice to see further improvements to the reader such as: better embedding of pictures footnotes table of contents searching in the text being able to search through lesson notes enhanced formatting of titles further options for text alignment (e.g justify) scrolling mode All the above are common basic features in most e-readers nowadays, so integrating them with Lingq would be fabulous.

This is a feature that I have never seen anywhere on any app, or website. Many of us like to listen to conversations on the go, with headphones on, or in the car, etc. So for new words and phrases we so we would need to look at the app to see the English meaning, but if the app played the English translation for that sentence straight after the Arabic, then it would make learning on the go much more easier

There are hardly any apps in the App Store that teach Urdu - especially the way LingQ does it. I know there would be many people who would love to see Urdu there, as people struggle to find resources online

Currently the statistics allow us to know how many courses we have completed in a given time (e.g. 3 courses in the last 3 months) but I can't find a way to see which courses they are. I generally use Lingq to read novels and I would like to have a tracking of which books I have read in a given time, e.g. which novels I have completed during the last year. It might be useful to track completed courses and to see progression, e.g., if we read faster we will complete more courses or complete more complex novels.

I wonder if there is a way to add a lingq keyboard to IOS that would track the time you spend typing in your target language. This could then feed into the stats automatically. Just an idea!

Please disable the “auto-know” thing that happens when swiping through the lessons. A free user only gets 20 LingQs and after that, every new word gets flagged as know when swiping through the lesson — even if it is just to browse and see what is there. The new words go from beating highlighted blue to blank, not to mention we don’t get sentence translation past the first Getting Started lesson 😒, reviewing lessons is such a HASSLE and I am getting awards/notifications for X-number of words known when I don’t actually know them! At least enable us to mark them one the 1 to known scale provided rather than just assume we know them. Generally speaking, the free version of the service is cumbersome and, for me, outright demoralising to learn on. Trying TK learn is actually intimidating.

I think it would be useful to be able to add custom dictionaries or personal external tools where the only thing you have to define is a url and a GET parameter where you indicate the word to search for. For example, if I wanted to use nihongo master to search for the word 子供, it would be enough to define the dictionary as: https://www.nihongomaster.com/japanese/dictionary?query=[WORD] And have LingQ generate the link: https://www.nihongomaster.com/japanese/dictionary?query=子供
