LingQ’s massive audio library brings immersion to you, thanks to an infinite amount of audio content for you to consume — all with matching transcripts.
LingQ also allows you to learn using content YOU love. Whether you’re interested in podcasts, blogs, movies, or anything in between, LingQ will keep all your content stored in one place and available across devices.
Best of all, the content you’ll find in LingQ has been created by native Finnish speakers, for native Finnish speakers. Learning from authentic material on subjects of interest will keep you motivated and make you successful. You will be immersed in the content and hardly notice that you're learning!
When learning is enjoyable, you'll learn faster
Traditional Methods Don’t Work
Many methods try to get you to speak early when you actually don’t know anything. What’s the point of speaking if you can’t understand what people say back to you?
When you understand FIRST, you’ll improve a lot faster. You’ll have better pronunciation, speak more naturally and memorize words faster than any other method. And, you’ll be able to focus on putting your thoughts together without straining to understand at the same time.
Another issue in traditional language learning methods is that they introduce complex grammar rules right away. Trying to remember grammar rules on top of Finnish only adds confusion. Grammar rules only make sense once you already speak the language. Before then, they just act as a filter which reduces natural language fluency.
Babies don’t pick up a dictionary, study grammar rules and start speaking from day one. Why should you?
Inspired by how children learn languages…LingQ uses the principles of the comprehensible input theory of language acquisition to ensure mastery in a second language in minimal time.

That’s why LingQ focuses on input first, output later.
Taking the Mystery out of Language Learning
The brain acquires language best when it is immersed in meaningful, relevant and interesting content. This “input flood” is the most effective way to accelerate language acquisition and achieve proficiency. Without a lot of exposure, fluency simply isn’t possible.
LingQ always finds you content just above your level so that you’re never overwhelmed by new words — but you’re also never bored out of your mind reading children’s stories.
The LingQ reader keeps a database of and highlights every word you know and every word you’re learning. This makes reading a book, that was once a seemingly overwhelming task, a lot easier and more enjoyable.
