Lectica

Don’t just learn a new language; master it! Completely free with no ads, Lectica is the first language learning app to offer in-depth material using real-life audio, visual, and reading passages from countries where the targeted language is spoken.



Developed by language experts at the National Foreign Language Center of the University of Maryland, Lectica features language learning activities to build comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar that increase in difficulty as you progress, highlighted text-tracking to help you follow along, cultural, historical, and vocabulary notes, transcript and translation, and an extensive glossary.


Choose from seven languages
Arabic | Chinese | French | Korean | Persian | Russian | Spanish | + more!
