Dear Lingo turns a language into a series. You play the lead, say your lines out loud, and every episode ends when you reach your goal.

Say it out loud.

Rosa hears you and answers in Spanish, in real time. Captions show every line, and a tap shows the English.

How an episode works

Stuck? There’s a hint.

Hints start with a small nudge and, if you need them, give you the exact words. You can’t fail an episode.

About hints

Five cities. Five series.

Rosa in Madrid, Camille in Paris, Giulia in Rome, Inês in Lisbon and Lena in Berlin. Each language is its own series.

Which languages can I learn?

Three to five minutes.

Short enough for a coffee break. No scores, no streaks, and you can replay any episode, any time.
