Real English conversations
Lingrow gives you 200+ conversation scenarios in English at beginner, intermediate and advanced difficulty. Ordering coffee, catching the metro, meeting friends, a job interview, dating, travel, and the small talk that comes with all of it. The AI partner listens, replies in English and adapts to your level, so a beginner and an advanced learner can practise the same situation without either one being bored or lost.
Feedback on grammar and pronunciation
Lingrow corrects you while you speak and then summarises the conversation, covering grammar, vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation. For English that means articles (a, an, the, or nothing at all), the gap between simple past and present perfect, phrasal verbs like give up and look after whose meaning has little to do with the individual words, and stress patterns that change a word's meaning, such as record as a noun against record as a verb.
Learn in your own language
You don't have to learn through English. Lingrow explains, corrects and translates in any of 33 languages, from Arabic and Hindi to Polish and Vietnamese. You pick your language when you sign up and can change it later in settings. Your corrections, your hints and your end-of-conversation feedback all arrive in the language you actually think in. The tap-a-word dictionary, the flashcards and the guided lessons are in English.
What learners find hard
English spelling doesn't reliably tell you how a word sounds: though, through, tough and thought all contain the letters ough, and all four are pronounced differently. Phrasal verbs multiply meanings that have nothing to do with the base verb, articles have no equivalent in many languages, and tense and aspect stack together in ways that trip up even confident speakers, present perfect against simple past being the classic case. Connected speech in fast conversation, words running together and reducing, is a separate skill from reading English on a page.
Vocabulary and flashcards
English doesn't have Lingrow's largest curated deck, that's Korean and Spanish, but you save any word or phrase straight from a conversation into your own flashcard deck. Cards carry audio and example sentences, and a spaced-repetition scheduler brings each one back before you forget it. That matters most for phrasal verbs and idioms, the items a generic word list handles worst and a real conversation catches naturally.
Who Lingrow suits
Anyone who reads English fine but freezes the moment a real conversation starts, and anyone who has worked through grammar books but never had to produce a sentence out loud under time pressure. Corrections, hints and feedback arrive in the language you actually think in, so you are never stuck decoding an explanation in the language you are still learning. If your goal is a written exam, pair Lingrow with dedicated writing practice.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Lingrow good for English beginners?
- Yes. Beginner scenarios have the AI partner speak slowly and simply, and it adapts as you improve. Corrections, hints and feedback arrive in the language you actually think in rather than English, so you are never stuck reading an explanation in the language you are still learning to speak.
- Why is English pronunciation so inconsistent?
- English spelling doesn't map to sound reliably: though, through, tough and thought share the same four letters, ough, and four different vowel sounds. Lingrow's pronunciation feedback works from what you actually said, not from the spelling, so it catches the real gap between how a word looks and how it's said.
- Does Lingrow correct my English grammar?
- Yes. You get corrections while you speak, then a written summary covering grammar, vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation. For English the recurring issues are articles, phrasal verbs, and tense and aspect such as present perfect versus simple past, and the summary tells you which ones to practise next.
- Can I use Lingrow if English isn't my first language?
- Yes. Lingrow supports 33 languages for explanations and feedback, so you can learn through Arabic, Hindi, Polish, Vietnamese, Russian, Thai and 27 others instead of English. You choose your language when you sign up and can change it in settings. The tap-a-word dictionary, flashcards and guided lessons are still in English.
- How much does Lingrow cost and is there a free trial?
- Lingrow is a subscription and it starts with a free trial, so you can try real English conversations before paying anything. Prices vary by country, so check the App Store for yours. Lingrow is on iOS only at the moment, so there is no Android or web version to try instead.
- Can Lingrow replace an English tutor?
- For daily speaking practice, yes, and it costs a fraction of a tutor per hour of actual talking. It is available at any hour, never judges you and will repeat a scenario as often as you want. A tutor is still worth adding, if you can afford one, for exam coaching, writing correction and accountability.
