Learn the words you'll actually hear.

Nekolingo teaches the most common words first, brings each one back just before you forget it, and pairs them with a grammar course, real books and YouTube — so you understand real speech sooner.

How it works

Ten minutes a day, in the right order.

Words aren't equally useful. The most common thousand make up most of everyday speech, so that's where Nekolingo starts.

  1. 01

    Find your level

    A short placement test marks the words you already know, so you never drill what you've learned.

  2. 02

    Do today's session

    Each day builds a short plan for you: new words in frequency order, the reviews that are due, and a grammar lesson.

  3. 03

    Use it on real things

    Read books, watch YouTube and talk with the AI tutor. Any word you tap goes into your review deck.

Funktionen

Everything you need, in one place.

Vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening and speaking — all feeding the same review deck.

Karteikarten

Flashcards that know what's next

Frequency-ranked decks split into tiers of 500 words, scheduled with spaced repetition. Drill them with Match, Dictation and Speak, or pass a tier exam to skip ahead.

Frequency decks Your own decks Paste a Quizlet set CSV import Shared deck library
Grammatik

A grammar course, A1 to C2

15 languages have a full CEFR course: short lessons, quizzes that check every answer, stories and unit exams.

Read

Read real books

A library of classic books, or import your own. Tap any word for its meaning in context, or have it read aloud as you follow along.

Watch

Study YouTube as you watch

Our Chrome extension adds two-language subtitles to YouTube. Tap a word to save it; afterwards the video becomes a lesson.

Talk

Nori, dein KI-Tutor

Ask about any word or grammar point, or role-play a scene like ordering at a café. Talk out loud on Plus and Pro.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? [email protected]

Warum nach Häufigkeit lernen statt nach Themen?

Topic-based courses teach you "giraffe" before "would". Ranking words by how often they're really used means every minute of study buys the most understanding: the top thousand or so words cover most of what you hear in everyday conversation.

Which languages can I learn?

19 languages have ready-made frequency decks, and 15 of them also have the full A1–C2 grammar course. The reader, video study, your own decks and the AI tutor work in many more.

Is the free plan really free?

Yes. No time limit and no credit card. Flashcards, the grammar course and every practice mode are free; the daily limits on the AI tutor and word lookups reset every day.

Do I need the browser extension?

No. It only adds subtitles and word saving on YouTube. It works in Chrome and browsers built on it (Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera); everything else in Nekolingo runs in any browser, on your phone too.

Kann ich jederzeit kündigen?

Yes — cancel in one click from your account settings. You keep paid features until the end of your billing period, and your progress stays if you come back.
