Lingrove
Language practice through short spoken conversations.
About Lingrove
Lingrove teaches through conversations that last about three minutes, such as ordering coffee, asking for directions or making small talk with a neighbour. You speak your lines aloud, the app checks your pronunciation, and new words go into a review deck that brings them back over the following weeks.
It suits people who already know the basics and freeze when they have to talk. Complete beginners will want a more structured course first.
What it does
Three-minute conversations
Everyday scenes with a voice partner that waits for you and repeats on request.
Pronunciation feedback
Scores each line you speak and points to the syllable that went wrong.
Spaced review
Words you met in conversation return as flashcards just before you would forget them.
