Once when I was six years old I saw a magnífica picture in a book about the selva called True Stories from Nature.
It showed a boa constrictor tragando an animal. In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their presa whole, without chewing it.”
After that they are not able to moverse, and they duermen through the six months...

Why blending works: the science
Text blending isn't just clever — it's backed by decades of language acquisition research.
Comprehensible Input (i+1)
Language is acquired when learners receive input slightly above their current level. The blend slider gives you adjustable i+1 in real time — always the right amount of challenge.
Code-Switching & Bilingual Processing
Research shows that mixed-language text captures greater attention and enhances vocabulary acquisition. Blending mirrors how bilinguals naturally process language.
Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition
Learners acquire substantial vocabulary naturally through exposure to words in informative contexts — not through isolated memorization. Blended text makes this happen effortlessly.
And every other feature is backed by science too
Spaced Repetition
SM-2 algorithm in all 4 games schedules reviews at optimal intervals — up to 25% higher retention than massed study.
Active Recall
Games force retrieval from memory, producing 51% better retention compared to passive review.
Contextual Learning
Words encountered in rich, varied contexts through stories and sentences are retained significantly better.

Frequently asked questions
Text blending is LingoBlend's unique approach to language learning. You paste any text — an article, a book chapter, or a URL — and our AI partially translates it into your target language. You control the percentage: at 20% you'll see a few translated words sprinkled in, at 80% most of the text is in your target language. It's like a difficulty dial for reading.

LingoBlend currently supports Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese — with English as your base language. We're working on adding more languages in the future.
LingoBlend uses an Anki-style algorithm (SM-2) that schedules word reviews at increasing intervals based on how well you know each word. New words start with short intervals (10 minutes, 1 hour, 8 hours), then graduate to longer intervals (1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 120 days). Research shows this produces up to 25% higher retention than traditional study methods.
Yes! Pro users can import word lists from CSV files, plain text, or Anki-formatted exports. You can also use the Photo Import feature to scan foreign text with your camera, or browse 125 pre-built word packs across 25 categories.
Absolutely. Your data is stored securely in Firebase with strict access controls — only you can access your vocabulary, progress, and blended texts. We don't sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
