Every exercise card gives you three definitions to choose from. The two wrong ones are now much smarter: close enough to make you think, but never secretly right.
Your account now has an Activity page. See your streak, conversations, speaking time, saved words, learned words, and a full year of progress in one place.
Every comment form has a "This is a contribution" checkbox. Tick it, and once your note passes review, it doesn't just stay in the discussion. It becomes one of the sources the dictionary entry is built from.
Every dictionary entry now has comments and votes. Share what you know about a word, ask questions, and vote for the explanations that helped you most. No account required.
Every word you add to My Dictionary now feeds your exercises. Save a word once and Linguin keeps bringing it back until you know it.
Exercises got a complete rebuild: rounds of ten cards, real example sentences, and spaced repetition that brings a word back right before you forget it. In 120+ languages, and you can start without an account.
Our legal documents got a major update and now live in one place. Privacy, terms, refunds, API terms and a DPA, all in plain English, all describing what Linguin actually does.
The waitlist page is gone because there's nothing left to wait for. The dictionary, speaking practice and exercises are all live, and you can start free today.
The Linguin API now has a JavaScript SDK. Run npm install linguin-api and call every endpoint as a method. ESM on the global fetch, Node 18+, TypeScript types included, zero dependencies, MIT and open source.
The Linguin API now has a Python SDK. Run pip install linguin-api and call every endpoint as a method. Zero dependencies, pure standard library, Python 3.8+, MIT and open source.
One subscription now covers up to five people. Everyone on the Family plan gets Proficiency and keeps their own account and progress. Add people by email, even before they join, and the plan is waiting at their first sign-in.
On the free plan you get a few conversations a day. If you want more, Essential and Proficiency give you many more talks and longer ones. The length is about the conversation, not a clock, and your progress is always saved to your account.
Practice a language on Linguin by holding a real conversation in any of 120+ languages, typed or spoken, with reply hints when you're stuck and translations when you need them. A sharper review and a progress tracker turn one-off chats into steady practice.
The Linguin API is live. Dictionary lookup, reverse dictionary, and translation across 120+ languages. One key, prepaid, pay only for what you use.
Linguin's API can translate now, and it checks the web before it answers. It drafts, confirms its phrasing against real usage, and bills per word. Fast and deep tiers, an optional humanizer, no per-call fee.
Linguin has an API, now in early access. The whole dictionary as JSON in 120+ languages, reverse lookup from meaning to word, and free credit to try while we watch it under real use.
The badge at the top of an entry now names the word's own language, not your interface language. Look up a Spanish word and it says Spanish, whoever is reading.
Every word now shows one clean pronunciation instead of a pile of regional accents, a single way to say it written in IPA. Want the regional detail, just ask.
Capital letters are part of the word. Words that differ only by a capital get their own entries and their own addresses, and search still forgives any casing you type.
No more being marched off to a login page. Sign-in appears right where you are, your email plus a one-time code, and you carry on where you left off.
One search can miss your word. Linguin now cross-checks its sources against each other and keeps digging until they agree, so everything on an entry is about the word you meant.
Switch a word into your language and the whole entry follows, the definition, the examples, the mistakes, the FAQ. The FAQ used to stay stuck in English. That was a bug. Fixed now.
Every entry now has an "Add to My Dictionary" button. Keep the words, phrases and idioms you want in your own list, free.
Linguin is faster now. A lot of the work happens while you’re typing, and when a lookup needs a moment to research, you can watch each stage as it happens.
Linguin is a live dictionary. Look up a brand, a meme, or a phrase from this morning and you get it right away.
Linguin News has an RSS feed now. Point a reader at it, or an automation, or even an AI agent, and every update turns up the moment it goes out, the whole post and not a snippet.
The home page used to be a slideshow about us. Now it's the dictionary itself, with the words people are looking up right now sitting right there.
The search box now follows you to every page. Spell it however you like, or just describe what you mean, and it finds the word.
Type a typo, half a definition, or a word you only half remember. Linguin works out what you meant and builds the entry. You don't have to be right first.
Entries now fit what you actually looked up, whether it is a single word, a phrase, an idiom, or an abbreviation, and they are checked against the open web so the details hold up.
You can now wander Linguin from A to Z, not just search it. A new index lists every entry by letter, so you can browse and discover instead of always knowing the word first.
We moved the heavy lifting off the critical path, and Linguin now opens several times faster, close to instant on every visit.
A new Articles section at Linguin. Insights and tips on language learning, linguistics, and the world's languages. Browse by topic or read the latest.
Dictionary entries now read naturally in your language. Examples, common mistakes, and FAQs are written for speakers of your language, not translated word for word.
Quick exercises to test what you know. Multiple choice and fill in the blank. Simple. Repetition is the key.
AI now speaks Spanish. Start a conversation, say something like "Small talk in Spanish" and have a proper back and forth out loud.
Linguin now searches the web before answering. Slang, new words, things that change fast. Better coverage for the words that matter.
Joining the waitlist gets you early access when Linguin launches fully. Look up, exercise, chat, talk. Everything. Be first in line.
Voice model improved. Sounds more natural and lively now. There is occasional hallucination at the end of a phrase, working on it.
AI now speaks French. Start a conversation, say something like "Morning small talk in French" and have a proper back and forth out loud.
Voice added to chat. AI now speaks back to you. Proper back and forth conversation. English only for now. Voice is a bit glitchy, working on it.
Review now handles grammar and natural flow better. After each chat session you get sharper, more useful feedback. If something seems off, please report.
Speech recognition added to chat. Hit the mic and speak in your target language instead of typing. Works with most languages. Let us know if recognition is off for your language.
If your UI language differs from the language you are practicing, you can now click "show me in..." and get AI replies translated into your language. Follow the conversation without losing the thread.
Sometimes you know what you want to say but cannot find the words. Now you can click "help with answer" and get a few reply options with translations in your native language.
Pick a language, set a context, start practicing. By the end of the conversation you get a review on what to focus on to improve. 80 languages supported.
Some words look the same across languages but mean different things. Now you can add "in Latvian" or any other language to your search and get exactly what you need.
Pronunciation added for English and French. Look up a word or phrase and play how it actually sounds. Not a robot. Human quality.
Looking up a word in English but need to check it in your native language? Now you can swap the translation language right on the word. One tap, quick check, back to English.
Extended language coverage from 80 to 120 languages. If your language was missing before, check again.
Dictionary was slow. Fixed it. Now it delivers results faster. Try looking up a few words and see.
80 languages. Multiple meanings, real examples, usage context. Not just a translation. Enough to actually understand a word. Try looking up a slang word or idiom in your target language.
