Every LingoBlend feature, explained

Personalized blending: your level, your vocabulary

No two learners should get the same blend of the same text. LingoBlend's vocabulary graph tracks which words you have mastered — through your saved words and spaced-repetition game history, computed privately on your device — and word selection uses it: mastered words are skipped so every translated word teaches you something, words due for review reappear inside real reading, and struggling words get extra encounters where context helps most. Inflections count, so mastering 'despertar' covers 'despierta' too.

Level matters as much as history. At signup you answer one plain question — how much of the language you already know — and blending targets vocabulary just beyond that level: the comprehensible-input sweet spot where new words are hard enough to be worth learning and anchored enough to stick. As your real review data accumulates, your measured vocabulary depth takes over from the self-assessment and keeps adjusting as you improve. Your level is editable per language in Personal Details at any time.

Build your dictionary from real life

The words worth learning rarely arrive on a schedule, so LingoBlend lets you capture them wherever they surface. Select text in any app and send it through the iOS or Android share extension. Right-click a word on any website with the Chrome extension. Point your camera at a menu, a street sign, or a book page and let OCR pull the vocabulary in. You can also import CSV, plain-text, or Anki lists, or start from 800 pre-built packs spanning 25 categories — each entry translated and dropped straight into your personal dictionary.

Turn saved words into lasting memory

Saving a word is only the start. Five practice games — Flashcards with recall and recognition modes, Matching, Fill in the Blank, Listening, and Word Quiz — rotate your vocabulary through an Anki-style SM-2 schedule. New words return after 10 minutes, an hour, then 8 hours, graduating to 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, and 120 days as they stick. Pro adds Word Story, which writes a short story from your own saved words to read or hear narrated, then checks understanding with a five-question quiz.

You can attach images and personal memory tricks to any word, drawing on dual coding (Paivio, 1971) and the keyword method (Atkinson & Raugh, 1975) to strengthen recall. Graded stories from A1 to C2, natural pronunciation audio, daily goals, streaks, a Word of the Day, and a free Today's Read round out the experience. Start free with three Smart Blends a month and all five games, or go Pro at €4.99 monthly or €49.99 yearly for unlimited blends and every story level.

A practice loop that knows your words

The vocabulary graph also shapes how sessions are built. Words that look or sound alike — puerto and puerta, or any two sharing a translation — stay out of the same round while they're new, since studying them together breeds confusion; a Tricky Pairs view later contrasts them once you know both. New words are introduced by how closely they connect to what you already know, not at random, and Fill in the Blank favors sentences where the blank is the only unfamiliar word. The spaced-repetition schedule itself is untouched — SM-2 still decides when a word is due; only which words share a session changes.

The same graph tells you where you stand. Once you have around 15 proven words, Practice shows a running vocabulary estimate — roughly 320 words · A2 — using the same level machinery that personalizes your blends. Graded stories and book chapters carry a % known badge (98% is the benchmark for comfortable reading), and pasting your own text suggests a blend percentage based on how much of it you already know — tap to apply, or ignore it. In the dictionary, Related Words chips, an A–Z ↔ Families toggle grouping comer, comí, and comida together, and a Because You Know rail surface the connections — all on your device, for free.
