One new word a day, on your home screen.

Yes. LinguistWidget is free to download and free to learn with. The daily word, every language and CEFR level, the widgets, spaced-repetition reviews, the daily practice session and your statistics cost nothing. The free version shows ads. An optional yearly subscription removes them, and on Android it also unlocks Premium extras: AI word help, Polyglot Mode, a daily conversation scenario and photo backgrounds for the widget.

LinguistWidget teaches 10 languages: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Korean. Japanese comes as three separate tracks (Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji) and Portuguese covers both Brazil and Portugal. Every language is graded from A1 to C2.

Install the app, pick a language and level, then add the widget. On iPhone, long-press the home screen, tap the plus button and search for LinguistWidget. On Android, long-press the home screen, open Widgets and drag LinguistWidget into place. The widget shows a new word each day with its translation and an example sentence, and you can mark the word as known without opening the app.

Yes. Under Settings, Customize Widget, you can choose from nine themes and seven accent colors, set a photo background, pick which parts of speech the widget shows (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) and turn on a quick quiz. The widget comes in small, medium and large sizes.

Yes. On iPhone there is a Lock Screen widget. On Android there is a compact one-row widget and an optional lock-screen card. On Wear OS, LinguistWidget adds a watch widget and Tile that show today's word, its translation, your CEFR level and your streak, synced from the phone app.

Yes. The word lists, translations, example sentences, reviews and the daily practice session are stored on your phone and work with no connection. Pronunciation uses your phone's text-to-speech voices. On Android, AI word help needs an internet connection.

Words you have not marked as known come back for review on a spaced-repetition schedule, timed for when you are about to forget them. The Memory Map on the Statistics screen groups your vocabulary by CEFR level and colors each word by how well you retain it, so you can see what is solid and what is due.

Practice is a daily speaking session of about five minutes. It has five steps: Listen, Repeat, Answer, Free Speak and Review. It runs on your device and works offline. Premium on Android adds a new conversation scenario every day, matched to your CEFR level.

Immersion Mode lets you paste real text, such as an article or a menu, and shows what percentage of it you can already read. Unknown words are highlighted so you can save them for review. Learning Paths are guided routes through the vocabulary for a specific situation, such as getting around abroad, ordering at a restaurant or a first day at work.

Yes. Polyglot Mode lets you study up to five languages side by side. Each language keeps its own word of the day and its own review schedule, and the widget can show a second language or rotate between them daily. On Android, Polyglot Mode is part of Premium.

Each day the app picks a word you have not seen yet at the CEFR level you chose, from word lists of more than 200,000 graded entries across all languages. Words you mark as known leave the rotation. Words you are unsure of return later as reviews.

LinguistWidget runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, on Android phones and tablets with Android 7.0 or later, and on Wear OS 4 or later watches paired with the Android app.

Your progress is stored on your device and is included in your phone's standard backup and device-to-device transfer. LinguistWidget does not require an account.
