LingQ
LingQ was launched in late 2007 by Steve Kaufmann and his son Mark to develop better tools for language learners.
The LingQ system is based on Steve's experiences learning languages. Until the age of 17 Steve only spoke English. After 10 years of French lessons in school, Steve still couldn’t speak it. It was at the point that Steve decided to find a way to learn languages that works.
The system that Steve developed forms the basis of the LingQ system enabling thousands of learners from all over the world to enjoy language learning and successfully reach their goals.
LingQ is a fun, simple way to learn languages from authentic, interesting content. Learning the language from the language itself, just as most children learn their own language.
Steve Kaufmann has proven that this system works – He now speaks 20 languages. Along with over 1,000,000 LingQ members who continue to prove it every day

What homeschoolers say about LingQ
Homeschool families appreciate LingQ for its extensive library of authentic language content and flexible, self-paced approach that suits varied learning styles. Many find it effective for older students and independent learners who want to build vocabulary and reading skills through immersion. However, some note that the platform can be overwhelming for beginners and that it requires consistent motivation and parental guidance to keep younger students engaged. Pricing is considered moderate but may be a barrier for some. Overall, LingQ is valued for its depth and real-world language exposure but may demand more effort and structure from parents.
