Breathe in, speak out
We're building a language learning experience that respects your time, adapts to your interests, and helps you achieve lasting fluency - without the guilt trips or streak anxiety.
Traditional apps got it backwards
Most language apps teach you predetermined lessons about "red apples" and "libraries" - content chosen by curriculum designers, not you. They gamify the experience with streaks and leaderboards, creating anxiety instead of confidence.
The result? Millions of users memorizing the same generic phrases, struggling to apply them in real conversations, and eventually burning out from notification fatigue.
Generic content
Learning vocabulary you'll never use
Streak anxiety
Fear of breaking your streak instead of joy in learning
One-size-fits-all
No adaptation to your actual proficiency level
A different approach
Lingo.Yoga is built on three core principles that guide every feature we build.
Content-First
We believe learning happens best when it's relevant. You bring content you care about, and we transform it into your personal curriculum.
Mindful Practice
Language learning is a marathon, not a sprint. We encourage deep focus and sustainable habits over gamified dopamine hits.
Nuance Matters
We don't teach 'Spanish' - we teach Rioplatense Spanish, Mexican Spanish, or Castilian Spanish. Language is local, and so is our approach.
Language learning as practice
Like yoga, language learning is a practice - not a destination. It requires consistency, breath, and alignment with your own environment. We use the language of yoga throughout the app:
"Studio" not "Dashboard"
A place for practice, not surveillance
"Flow" not "Session"
Continuous, rhythmic movement through exercises
"Rhythm" not "Streak"
Finding your sustainable pace, not chasing numbers
"Complete" not "Winner"
Calm confirmation, not gamified celebration
Powered by thoughtful technology
We use intelligent systems to analyze your content and generate exercises. Our approach is fine-tuned for language pedagogy, ensuring exercises match CEFR standards and linguistic best practices.
Our spaced repetition algorithm is based on decades of memory research, scheduling reviews at the optimal moment for long-term retention.
Smart Analysis
Advanced language understanding for accurate content extraction
CEFR Alignment
Internationally recognized proficiency standards (A1-C2)
Spaced Repetition
SM-2 inspired algorithm for optimal memory retention
Made with care (and capybaras)
Lingo.Yoga is a family project built with love, curiosity, and a shared passion for languages.
