Thirteen languages

The most widely studied second language in the world, and the one where consistent review pays off fastest.

Learn Spanish

Enormous shared vocabulary with English, hidden behind a sound system that shares almost nothing.

Learn French

A language with genuinely systematic grammar — once the case tables are automatic.

Learn German

Phonetically transparent, grammatically familiar, and unusually quick to start speaking.

Learn Italian

Two major standards, one grammar, and a sound system that surprises Spanish speakers.

Learn Portuguese

Three writing systems, thousands of characters, and the clearest case anywhere for spaced repetition.

Learn Japanese

No conjugation, no gender, no plurals — and several thousand characters.

Learn Chinese

The easiest writing system in Asia attached to one of the harder grammars.

Learn Korean

A root-and-pattern system that makes vocabulary far more logical than it first appears.

Learn Arabic

A demanding case system guarding a literature worth the effort.

Learn Russian

Arguably the closest major language to English, and frequently underestimated because of it.

Learn Dutch

Almost perfectly regular grammar, built on a principle English does not have.

Learn Turkish

Hundreds of millions of speakers, and a script that rewards a week of upfront work.

Learn Hindi
