Method

How you learn with Lingonyx.

What you learn first is not decided by a textbook chapter, but by what is actually said in the language.

  • Source

    The language from shows

    You learn the language the way it is spoken in shows and films. What native speakers say every day, not the sentences that only exist in a course book.

  • Order

    Most frequent first

    The most frequent words come first: hello, yes, no, sorry. Those come up in every episode, so you recognise something early on.

  • Repetition

    EXP sets the interval

    Every correct answer earns EXP. How much, an algorithm works out from your history with that word. The same value sets when the card comes back: a lot of EXP means late, little EXP means soon.
