What LingoPlays is
LingoPlays is a free language-learning application for Android, Linux, web, and Windows. Learners can study with local video files or YouTube videos by searching, pasting a link, or optionally connecting a YouTube account. Interactive subtitles support tap-to-translate and grammar help while watching. Speaking practice includes an AI tutor, roleplay conversations, and voice calls. The app also provides a placement test, personalized review, CEFR courses, level-graded news, and vocabulary practice across 14 languages. YouTube connection is optional and requests read-only access to subscriptions and public uploads from a selected channel. LingoPlays says it does not post, edit, delete, or manage YouTube content, use YouTube data for advertising, or sell it. Account, usage, device, and log data are listed as collected, with limited YouTube account data when connected. Tokens are stored on the device and held briefly by the server during connection. Users can disconnect YouTube in the app or request account deletion through support.
