But, how exactly it will help you? Lingopie shows you subtitles in both, English and the language you want to learn which in our case is Spanish.
Every word in the subtitle is clickable to see its translation. It also automatically saves the words you clicked so you can recall them later.

Lingopie: Pros and Cons
Lingopie surely makes language-learning fun but it has its own positives and negatives. So, let’s look at them so you can decide if it is worth paying for.
Pour
- More immersive than typical classes – Who doesn’t love to get entertained? Lingopie just makes it more productive by teaching you a new language along with it.
- Focuses on many aspects of a language – Another good thing about Lingopie is that it does well to teach you more than just vocabulary. It also focuses on dialect, accent, and comprehension of the new language.
- Has interactive tools – Lingopie is loaded with some cool features that ensure you learn the new language well. Some of those features are quizzes, dual subtitles, one-click meaning, and many more.
Cons
- Has only 8 languages – Many traditional language learning apps have many more options of languages to learn than just 8. However, this is not much of an issue if you are keen to learn just Spanish.
- Isn’t a complete language-learning experience – If you are a complete beginner in Spanish, learning it from Lingopie may seem off because it doesn’t elevate you from the ground by covering fundamentals first.
It just translates dialogues which may be a mix of so many easy and hard words. Thus, Lingopie does enhance the learning experience, but it isn’t a replacement for language courses.
