LingoQuest

Spanish · Italian · Russian · Korean

Learn to actually hold a conversation.

LingoQuest takes English speakers from zero to real, everyday conversations — with structured courses built on what language research says works: useful phrases first, speaking and writing from memory, clear grammar, and spaced review.

Four courses, each built for its language

Russian isn't Spanish with different words, and Korean takes English speakers about three times as long as Spanish. So each course has its own structure — and its own length.

Spanish Español

16 units · Everyday conversation at about CEFR B1

Every lesson mixes listening, speaking, reading and writing, and asks you to produce Spanish from memory, not just recognize it.

Italian Italiano

16 units · Everyday conversation at about CEFR B1

Sounds are trained from day one — especially the double consonants that change meaning (anno vs. ano, penna vs. pena).

Russian Русский

20 units · Everyday conversation at about CEFR A2+/B1

Stress marks on every word throughout the course, as in Russian textbooks for learners — stress changes how vowels sound.

Korean 한국어

24 units · Everyday conversation at about CEFR A2+

Built around what makes Korean Korean: dedicated units for verb conjugation, irregular verbs, particles, clause connectors, honorifics, formal and casual speech, noun modifiers and reported speech.

What a lesson feels like

10–15 focused minutes: a quick warm-up on earlier words, new phrases in small groups, a short grammar note, a real conversation, then lots of practice — listening, reading, writing and speaking.

You speak from lesson one

Graded speaking exercises with word-by-word feedback — repeat, translate, and answer questions about your own life.

Real listening practice

Listen-and-translate, dictation and short conversations train your ear, not just your eyes.

Writing that sticks

You type answers from memory, with smart feedback on accents, spelling and grammar.

Grammar that makes sense

Short explanations written for English speakers, with the classic mistakes called out.

Spaced review

Words come back right before you'd forget them, so they end up in long-term memory.

Mastery, not streak-chasing

Units end with a real test. Don't pass? You redo exactly the lessons you need.
