Every LingoBlend feature, explained

Learn by reading, not by drilling lists

LingoBlend is built around a single idea: you pick up a language fastest when you read things you actually want to read. Paste an article, a blog post, or a URL, and the app mixes target-language words into your own text. A slider sets the blend anywhere from 10 to 80 percent, so a beginner can start with a light sprinkle and work up toward near-full immersion as confidence grows.

Every blended word is tappable. One touch reveals the translation, the grammatical form in front of you — tense, person, base form — and a save button that keeps either the exact conjugation you met or its dictionary lemma. This is the diglot-weave technique (Burling, 1968) paired with Krashen's comprehensible input, delivered across 17 languages and 272 learning pairs. The non-AI Basic Blend is unlimited and free.

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, and a Word of the Day 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.
