Learn the words that actually get used.
In every language, a tiny set of words does most of the talking. Nekolingo's AI finds them, teaches them in order, and keeps them from slipping away — so you understand real speech months sooner.
1,000 words.
90% of everything you'll hear.
Word frequency follows a power law: the most common word appears roughly twice as often as the second, three times the third. Learn in rank order and your comprehension compounds from day one.
Ranked from real speech
A corpus of millions of conversations — not textbooks — decides which word you see next.
Front-loaded returns
The earliest cards buy you the most comprehension. Later words refine; early words unlock.
Retention built in
Spaced repetition resurfaces each word right before you'd forget it, moving it into long-term memory.
Your comprehension curve
InteractiveNine lives.
Nine ways to learn.
Flashcards get you started — then the rest of Nekolingo keeps you immersed: real videos, real books, real conversations, and a little friendly competition.
Watch — learn from real YouTube
Pick any video. AI subtitles follow along; tap a word you don't know and it lands in your review deck, complete with context.
ImmersionStories
Bite-size AI dialogues written exactly at your level, with quick comprehension checks woven in between the lines.
ReadingRead — a library that reads aloud
Classic books levelled A1→C2, with a read-aloud mode that speaks each sentence and highlights it as you follow.
ReadingNori, your AI tutor
Ask anything about any word — nuance, culture, grammar — and get an answer in seconds, day or night.
UnderstandingLeagues
Earn XP for every study session and climb a weekly league — promotion for the diligent, gentle relegation for the lazy.
MotivationCommunity
Post in your target language and get corrections from other learners — shown as a friendly side-by-side diff.
TogetherInsights
A live dashboard of your progress — plus an AI coach that studies your mistakes and tells you exactly what to fix.
TrackingArcade
Quick practice games for the minutes between everything else.
A patient tutor,
awake at 3 a.m.
Rehearse real scenarios — ordering food, job interviews, small talk with a neighbor — with an AI tutor that corrects you gently and never gets tired.
Corrections without the cringe
Mistakes get a quiet note, not a red buzzer. You keep talking — that's how fluency forms.
Scenarios that match your life
From travel basics to business meetings, each scenario uses the high-frequency vocabulary you've already banked.
Always in your vocabulary range
The tutor knows exactly which words you've learned and stays just one step ahead of you.
The method holds up.
I stopped memorizing words I'd never use. Three months in, I follow Spanish podcasts at normal speed.
The coverage graph changed how I think about studying. Watching it pass 80% felt like leveling up in real life.
The 3 a.m. tutor is no joke. I rehearsed a German job interview at midnight — and got the job.

The cat is learning
to fit in your pocket.
Nekolingo works beautifully in any mobile browser today. Native iOS and Android apps — with offline decks and review reminders that actually arrive on time — are in the works.
One account, every screen
Streaks, decks and review schedules are stored server-side, so the app will pick up mid-session from wherever you left the browser.
Reviews that survive the subway
Your due cards download ahead of time. Study underground, on a plane, anywhere — everything syncs the moment you're back online.
A nudge, not a nag
One reminder a day, at the hour you actually study. The cat is persistent, not pushy.
No spam — one email when the app lands, and nothing else.
Asked often, answered honestly.
Because frequency is how language actually arrives at your ears. Topic-based courses teach you "giraffe" before "would" — words you may never need before words you'll hear hourly. Ranking by frequency means every minute of study buys the most comprehension possible.
Yes — free forever, with no time limit and no credit card. The daily caps reset every morning, so a consistent learner can go a long way without paying a cent.
Plus removes the daily caps and unlocks stories, speaking scenarios, and the insights coach — it's the right pick for most serious learners. Pro removes every limit and adds premium testing modes, priority access to new languages, and early access to new features.
It depends on your pace, but the math is on your side: roughly 1,000 high-frequency words covers about 90% of everyday speech in most languages. At 15–20 new words a day with spaced review, many learners cross that line in under three months.
Any time. Your progress in each language is saved separately, so nothing is ever lost when you wander — the cat holds your place in every book.
