Language learning, re-engineered

Your path from first word to fluency.

An adaptive engine—not a syllabus—teaches you a new language directly from one you already speak. No fixed lessons. No rote memorisation.

A mobile app for iPhone and Android—coming soon.

How it works

A precision instrument, not a game.

Built for serious learners. The maths runs quietly underneath; what you meet is calm, considered, and shaped around a language you already speak. No streaks, no points, no mascots—but real awards, earned: CEFR levels, mastery medals, and the hours you put in.

Directly, not through English

Learn Spanish straight from Czech, or German straight from Polish. Every course teaches one language from another—with no English forced in between.

An engine, not a syllabus

There are no lessons. You learn by trying—recalling an answer, then being gently corrected. An adaptive engine builds your own path, one word at a time.

Meaning, made concrete

Where an image can carry a meaning, a real photograph teaches it directly—you grasp mer as the sea itself. Elsewhere, words and phrases translate straight between your two languages.

Your own language

Learn from your own language.

Almost every language app requires you to speak English. If your first language is Czech or Polish, you end up learning through a language you're still learning yourself.

Multiglot connects each language directly to every other—so you begin in the language you think in, from your very first word. As far as we know, no other app offers this.

That's no small undertaking: six languages, each taught from every other, comes to thirty separate courses—and we offer every one.

Czech → German, taught directly—one of thirty such courses.

What you learn

Three ways in—vocabulary, phrases, grammar.

Start speaking with words and phrases; go as deep into grammar as you wish—all resting on the foundations: the alphabet, numbers, and telling the time. Every word and phrase plays natural audio; speaking practice isn't part of this version.

Vocabulary

The words themselves, taught through images and natural audio—nouns, verbs, adjectives and more, levelled A1 to B2.

Phrasebook

Greetings, essentials, and getting by—ready for the moment you need them, and spoken aloud.

Grammar

Learn the forms by doing, not by rules—you combine and practise until the pattern is yours. Not needed to start speaking; there for those who want the depth.

Vocabulary

The word, and the world it names.

Words are taught through real photographs and native audio—you meet each one as the thing itself, then in the language you're learning, not as an English word in disguise.

The same concept, learned directly in any of the languages—and where a word can be shown, a real image does the teaching.

Phrasebook

The things people actually say.

Each one comes with clear audio, taught directly between your two languages. It all works offline too, so the flight out is as good a place as any.

Grammar

The order is the method.

There's no fixed syllabus. Learning radiates outward from a form you already know—each step a single change away: a number, a demonstrative like this or that, a case. Nearer, commoner forms come first; rarer ones follow.

Real examples, straight from the engine—number, articles, demonstratives, and (in Czech, Polish, and German) case. Each language has its own forms; the engine sets the path.

Base form first

You learn the plain word first, so you can start using the language quickly. Plural, gender and case come later, through grammar—refining what you can already say, rather than holding you back at the start.

One step at a time

From a form you know, the next is a single change away—a number, an article, a case—with nearer, commoner forms before rarer ones. The engine sets the exact path, per language.

Recognition before production

You meet a form before you're asked to produce it. Only production—the hardest step—counts toward a CEFR level; recognising it alone never does.

German—earned so far
A1 A2 B1 B2
Working toward B2 320 h practised

Each level earned carries at least a bronze medal—deepening to platinum as you master it. The estimate moves only on what you can actually do.

Progress you can feel

Every session moves you forward.

In about a minute, you make measurable progress—and watch it build toward an estimated CEFR level, the same A1–B2 scale used across Europe—an honest estimate from what you have shown you can do, not a certificate, since some skills like speaking freely live beyond the app.

Recognition earns quiet medals; real mastery raises the estimate; and your hours add up, whatever you are working on. No streaks to protect, no points to chase—the progress is the learning.

Rewards

Earned, and yours to keep.

Every mark of progress comes from real learning—and once earned, it's never lost. No streak freezes, no being punished for going on holiday.

A CEFR level for how far you've come, deepening bronze to platinum as you master it. A medal for accuracy. And hours that quietly add up.

Your practice, counted a minute at a time.

Sessions & access

A minute at a time. Free to learn.

You learn in short, one-minute sessions—five a day on the free tier, drawn from one pool shared across every language you are learning. Everything else is free: each language and pair, all audio, all images, no ads, and it all works offline.

Multiglot Unlimited lifts the daily limit, raises your goal to 15, 30 or 60 minutes, and syncs across your devices. There is no free trial, because the free tier is the demo.

Works fully offline

Learn on a plane or abroad—no connection, no roaming, no data needed.

Five sessions a day, free

One minute each, from a single pool across all your languages. Unlimited removes the cap.

Every course, free to learn

All six languages, every pair, all audio and images—free, with no ads.

Awards can't be bought

Free and paid earn identically, and progress is never reset—even if you cancel. A Multiglot badge means something.

Languages & courses

Six languages, thirty courses.

Learn any of the six from any other—thirty courses in all, each running A1B2 at launch.

Two choices worth noting: our English is British English—the less common pick—and our Spanish is European Spanish. Levels C1 and C2 follow after launch.

For polyglots

Learning more than one? It's in the name.

Most learners focus on a single language, and Multiglot is built for that first. Take on several and each can carry its own daily goal, if you set one—switching between them is a single tap. Just exploring? Set no goal at all.

Roadmap

Where we are.

2010s

The research

The better part of two decades thinking about how a language is really learned, and how to teach it differently.

2022–2025

The web app

Fourteen public releases refined the method with real learners—now retired to make way for the native apps.

January 2026

The company

Multiglot becomes a company—Multiglot s.r.o., based in Prague.

July 2026

The engine

All six languages and thirty courses generated, now in final quality checks.

Now

Building the apps

The native iOS and Android apps are in build on the finished language engine.

Soon

Launch

Coming to iOS and Android. Join the newsletter to hear the moment they land.

About

A quiet obsession, long in the making.

Multiglot began as one person's fascination with how people actually learn a language—and a stubborn conviction that there had to be a better way, if only a course were built differently and the software written more cleverly. The idea goes back the better part of two decades; what exists now is a full language engine that teaches six European languages, each directly from another.

The method, and the engine that powers it, are already built and proven. What's left is the part you'll actually hold: the apps.
