About the project
Lingofly is an app and a reference for 16 languages: Armenian, Western Armenian, Georgian, Kazakh, Serbian, Slovenian, Maldivian, Sinhala, Tamil, Greek, Basque, Catalan, Valencian, Turkish, Spanish and Ukrainian. A session runs up to half an hour a day, split into a few short sittings.
Who it is for
- →A language for those who movedIn a week or two, twenty minutes a day, start recognising the letters on signs and understanding what is written on price tags.
- →A language for a tripLearn thirty phrases with pronunciation — the ones you will really say out loud, not the ones that look pretty in a phrasebook.
- →The language the family speaksStart understanding everyday talk: names of kin, food, home, children. Not the alphabet for the alphabet’s sake, but what sounds at the table.
- →The language you heard in childhoodStart with what you already recognise by ear and build the rest: reading, writing, first phrases.
How the app is built
- It works inside Telegram — nothing to install, no sign-up. There are standalone phone apps too.
- Words come back to you not on a schedule but right before you would forget them. The app works out the moment itself — from how you answered before.
- Words, letters, examples and lines of dialogue all have sound — tap and hear it. Works on any phone.
- Lessons, the alphabet, drills and phrasebooks are free. What is paid: pronunciation review and a lesson plan put together personally for you; nothing is taken away from the free part.

Frequently asked
How much does it cost?
The site is open in full, the app is free for the main part. The Pro subscription adds features and takes nothing away.
Do you need Telegram?
The app lives inside Telegram, but the site’s materials are open to everyone without it.
Why these languages?
For half of them, the Russian-language internet has almost nowhere you can simply hear how they sound: Armenian, Georgian, Maldivian, Sinhala. The others — because the same people learn them.
