Hey guys it’s been awhile. This video was well overdue so I hope you find this useful, if you still have questions regarding lingQ please let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them 😊
This is one of the most helpful videos I have ever seen on getting started with LingQ. I've been debating on trying out this app for a while and your video definitely makes it easier to start. Thank you!
This is great - thank so much! I have the free trial of LingQ and found the information they sent me about how to use it quite confusing and overwhelming, After watching your presentation, I am already able to navigate the website/app and make a start. I'm a bit confused about what you say about Playlists though - their purpose and how to create them as you sort of skate over this very quickly in the video.
Scheisse!!! Das ist wirklich hilfreich! I’ve been studying German for a month and I am reaching A2 fluency with just duolingo und Pimsleur :). Duolingo is good for getting your feet wet in a language, a soft landing perhaps. Problem is, I’m at a level now where I can spot incorrect sentence structures in the lessons. I love pimsleur because I don’t have to actively concentrate, I learn by passively listening and my brain picks it up. I can speak sehr gut because of that app but, my speaking is better than my reading so I need to balance it out and this app will help! 😊
Thank you Kyle. That was a very clear exposition of this LingQ program. As a 70 year old, steeped in the grammar learning approach, I have always been apprehensive about switching to a comprehensible input method. If I had my time again, I would probably give this Krashen / Kaufmann approach a try. I'm still confused about their definition of a 'known word'. How is a yellow word considered 'known'? Kaufmann seems to define a word as 'known 'if he has simply encountered it and stored it as a 'lingQ'. And why is it termed a 'lingQ'? Where does the word link to? Is it just identifying the fact that the word is linked to other articles where it will appear yellow as a word you have encountered and noted previously? You have great communication skills, Kyle. I'm sure you will do well in your teaching vocation. Thank you.
In essence, a “LingQ” is just a word that you have seen before and are in the process of learning with repetition and context via words that you have already learned and understand. I don’t know why they call them “LingQs” specifically, but I would assume that it is because they are linked throughout the texts that you read.
If I've to guess a "known" word is either 1) a word you know and have marked as known or 2) a word that you started learning and have reviewed enough time to be considered known, according to LinQ's SRS (spaced repetition system) algorithm.
Thanks for this video. I was struggling to really get going with LingQ but the tips provided around picking lessons with a lower percentage of unknown words, disabling the autolinq function and how to correctly use the lesson interface have made a massive difference!
I am so completely frustrated. I added too many things to my playlist and I can't figure out how to remove them. I added an entire course that I'm not ready for. Very frustrated.
Thanks for this video! Very informative and helpful. Also pointing out "Paging moves to known" option was important to me, this should be disabled by default - I was so confused why words were suddenly becoming 'white'..
I'm so glad I found you!! Where have you been all my life? lol! Other people have attempted to explain linQ, but your tutorial video has been the best so far! I have two questions: (1) How do I know, before signing up, which languages have full support? Turkish is on the list, but how do I know I get full support, rather than partial support for that particular language? (2) If I register as a "beginner", do I have to pay again if I want to move on towards intermediate/advance?
I really appreciate the video. The way you explain how to use it and show how to do it at the same time is just very thorough. Really great vid. thank you very much.
I need help....how can I change the language if I look on a sentence in the story. I'm an English learner, but I need the translation in German not in English. The Lingq support wrote I have to change it in the App settings but I can't do. I'm elderly and so I have problems. Is there enyone who can help me?
I’m also saving up for better equipment to improve the video and audio quality:) if you want to help with this I have a support link in the description
What's your CEFR level in German? 18,000 words would probably put you around C1 or C2, right? Or does LingQ include every conjugation of a word as a separate word, so maybe that's not a precise estimate? Although you are probably much beyond 18,000 words five months later.
Hey Kyle! Thanks for explaining in such detail, I picked up a lot of useful things. Do you know if there's a possibility to safe words in a sentence (longer than 9 words, as that's the limit for saving) that are not exactly coming after one another? I would like to safe for example only a (phrasal) verb with its preposition and nothing in between. I hope I've made clear what I mean... Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland! Du bist eine sehr sympathische Person und es ist mir eine Freude,dich bei RUclips gefunden zu haben. 🙏
When you click on a word, alternative selections appear below it such as the verb with its preposition. I make a point of just saving those two word blocks. For example in Danish I've saved the verb "beslutte sig" with its preposition "for". Really like this feature.
Thank you for this helpful video. What is the meaning of the "LingQs" within the app? When I was using the free version it said I could only have 20 free LingQs. I bought the paid version and I still have no idea what a LingQ is in the context of a lesson. I think it has something to do with each word but I'm not sure.
Thanks so much for the video! A number of LingQs for which I write a translation myself seem to disappear shortly after adding them, i.e. before I even close the lesson. When I immediately check a given LingQ after adding it, it does exist. But after reviewing a few other LingQs, that given LingQ has now disappeared. Or the extra translation I had just added has disappeared (though in that case the already-existing ones remain). Has this ever happened to you, or indeed to anyone here?
Very helpful video. Thanks. In the section where you are looking at how to use lingq and specifically looking at individual sentences, you show options to translate, to speak, review vocab etc. All I can see on mine is tranlate sentence. Is this something which is only available on premium or only on certain lessons?
when I import a video on utube about Friends series, I couldn’t find out the definition of slang and idioms the characters used. I think LingQ works out with words only.
Try highlighting a few words around the slang term. This makes it’s a phrase and sometimes LingQ works better like this. Or go to sentence mode and translate the sentence. Saved meanings on LingQ are based on previous data. This might mean that the word has not been saved before. (Maybe)
Hello, thank you for this comprehensive overview. How do you save the translation of trenbarre verben in German? It seems there is no way to link the verb with its preposition at the end...
Yes this is a little bit annoying, I generally save the base meaning of the root verb and then add the translation as a saved meaning per separable verb that I encounter. I can imagine in the future there is will an option to multi select “words”
Hi - very helpful, comprehensive tour. Can you comment on the number of errors in the app, relative to other language apps? So much of the content seems to come through API’s or other sources and people - is it really vetted well or is there a lot of junk? Also, is the “known words” list just your own subjective assessment of your understanding? No quiz engine or other, more objective way to see if you e learned a word? Thanks.
It's not letting me click on the words to see its meaning during the lessons. It says I have a reached a limit of 10 words and wants me to update to a premium plan.
It’s been a long time since I used the free version. They might have limited it to entice people to upgrade sooner. However, if you signed up with my LingQ you get more time to use to app before you see this message.
Hi Kyle, thanks for this video, it makes the LingQ software look very appealing and useful. My particular interest is Russian. At minute 20, do you know whether it is possible to enter response in a non-Latin language please? Perhaps in German there may be some letters which are not available on UK keyboard (?). I have R keyboard available, Thanks.
Great video and explanation 🫶🏾 I was a little bit confused with how to use the app efficiently- but I loooove it so far - Can one import vocabulary - like create their own lindqs?
How does the referral code work? I clicked the link the description but it didn't make any difference to the default price. I was going for 2 years paid up front.
thanks a lot Kyle. I've got a question. I used to use it on my phone. I tried to use it on my pc but I couldn't translate a phrase. it can translate a word as you have shown. it could translate a phrase on my phone but why it can't translate on my pc? For example: It can translate the word "to move", but not the sentence "I was moving". I think it would translate it but I couldn't do it.
I last tried LingQ a year or two ago and the UI was just awful. This looks better and your breakdowns are fantastic! Thank you so much!
Hey guys it’s been awhile. This video was well overdue so I hope you find this useful, if you still have questions regarding lingQ please let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them 😊
How can i use 20 lingQs free?
Is there any way to use it?
How to use lingQ the best way free version?
This is great, thanks. Lingq is so complicated and overwhelming when you first start lol, but I am convinced it will work great
Excellent. Thank you. I've been using my paid account for quite a while but your teaching has added to my experience of learning on Lingq.

I want to discuss this with the team at lingQ. Right now I dont know of a way to do this. It would be great for languages like German as well.
Thanks for making this!

Hmmm interesting 🤔 I will do this myself for a few words and test it out. If it is indeed a thing I will report it to them at LingQ :)
This might be a stupid question but when you import from netflix does it import to your computer and take up space

Is this something which is only available on premium or only on certain lessons?
You can see the translations for each word on the free account but to translate entire sentences or the text you need an upgraded account
Thanks for your efforts
I just leaving comment to help You for Your help.
That's really very helpful, thanks a lot.

Hey Kyle nice detailed video. I have a question like how do you learn like the dative cases etc from lingq. I am also learning German.

Thoughtful video, Thanks
Great video and explanation 🫶🏾 I was a little bit confused with how to use the app efficiently- but I loooove it so far -
Can one import vocabulary - like create their own lindqs?
Yes you can create your own lingQs or also import from a vocabulary deck :)
Good video thanks
Thanks - useful video!
If you still have questions let me know :)
great video
Is imported content actually IN LingQ or just linked? Also, is it legal to take all this content? Thx.
Great concept but a lot of work left to do on this app yet i think.
How does the referral code work? I clicked the link the description but it didn't make any difference to the default price. I was going for 2 years paid up front.
I believe the 2 year plan is discounted more than my code gives if you only wanted the 1 year. I also have the 2 year plan because of this.
thanks a lot Kyle. I've got a question. I used to use it on my phone. I tried to use it on my pc but I couldn't translate a phrase. it can translate a word as you have shown. it could translate a phrase on my phone but why it can't translate on my pc? For example: It can translate the word "to move", but not the sentence "I was moving". I think it would translate it but I couldn't do it.
Do you mean the translate sentence function or the highlighting multiple words (phrase) feature?
@@kylanguages I meant that the translate sentence function.
@Mystique yes sometimes it's not completely accurate. Highlight the parts of the sentence and that usually gives you a better translation :)
your mic is so bad i cant hear a thing you say its so deep. but thanks anyway i got some info
I rather do Netflix ,plus Rocket is the best
did you record that video in your mom's house, or why are you almost whispering?
Why are you so disrespectful? The sound is crystal clear for me.
