FreeLingo

What FreeLingo is

FreeLingo is an AI-powered language learning platform with structured lessons and voice conversations with its AI companion, Lingu. It offers nine languages and includes a placement test that assesses a learner’s level, then provides an ordered curriculum spanning A1 to C2. Lessons combine reading, listening, vocabulary and games such as Error Detective, Sentence Order and Vocabulary Pairs. Lingu uses lesson material and learner responses to guide voice practice, answer questions and help correct mistakes. Personalized review uses spaced repetition for vocabulary, while XP, streaks, skill scores and unit competencies provide ways to follow progress. FreeLingo is available as a hosted web service and as a self-hosted option. The self-hosted version can use Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic or DeepSeek for language models, with local speech services or OpenAI as speech options. FreeLingo says self-hosted data stays on the operator’s server and, by default, local Ollama processing does not send data off that server. The hosted free plan begins with seven days of full access, then applies daily lesson and AI chat quotas plus weekly listening, reading and voice quotas. Paid plans are listed at €9.95 per month or €99.50 per year, with unlimited access; a separate premium pricing display also shows €5.95 monthly and €59.50 yearly.
