@mait_muntel hi. Where can i find the app for learning English?

Hey Igor. You can start learning English with Lingvist by going to the main Menu of the app, click on the flag icons and then add a new language. There you can select to learn English from either French or Russian. Good luck!

@mait_muntel what do you think of tim ferriss approach to learning languages?

@eriktorenberg His principles - effectiveness, adherence, and efficiency are very well aligned with Lingvist. Our vision is to build a product that will use personal interest for adherence and generate learning priorities based on that. It's very close to Tim Ferriss's approach. The only difference is that he has an approach, but we're making it a full product to help people to follow this approach. Especially the last principle - efficiency! The fully adaptive algorithms are used in Lingvist to make learning personnally effective.

@mait_muntel Interesting. It seems like your product depends a lot on rote memorization though? What are the primaries methods of teaching? [Also, sidenote: please release the spanish version ASAP]

@teller coming soon. Or should I say demnächst

@mait_muntel Thanks for creating Lingvist - a great product! I know you hail from Estonia - any chance that this funding will be used for an English -> Estonian version to allow ever more people to learn this fascinating Uralic language beautifully? Aitäh!

@martinmcgloin Tere, Martin! English > Estonian version is obviously close to our own hearts. We'd love to do it at some point!

@mait_muntel This is a great tool to brush up on my French! It is so frictionless! What other languages are in your sights? Any roadmap and if not do you have anything like a blog so one can keep up with what the company is up to?

@tycrollins Thanks, Tyler! I think everyone should use techniques that work best for them. But virtual immersion without any support structure is maybe spreading it too thin. Photos help learn a handful of words, but as soon as you get to more complex stuff, abstract words and ideas, photos won't cut it anymore. A good command of language requires a lot of abstract, nuanced vocabulary.

@wilbertkramer watch this space. ;)

@alexvinogradov4 it's on the roadmap - we're still in beta, so adding new languages all the time. watch this space!

@jorgeudajer Hey! Just posted a similar answer to @msitver if you want to check it out above. 1. The vocabulary on Lingvist comes from analysing millions of pages of books, news articles, movie subtitles etc to determine the words that are actually relevant in any given language. You learn these words based on the order of prevalence. 2. In addition to your mistakes, Lingvist measures all other types of user interaction in the program and feeds that information back to the individually adaptive algorithm. 3. We process the information to work out the shortest, most effective learning path for you. No set lessons. Nothing holding you back. You will repeat stuff you're likely to forget at optimal intervals for you, and progress quickly from things you pick up easily.

@michaxndr watch this space - we're working on a bunch of new languages which will be fed out over the next while.
