What's new in Little Lingua

The updates and improvements to the app.

Fixed

Answers fit the screen properly

We fixed a few exercises where the answer options or teaching text could be cut off below the footer, so everything now sits comfortably on screen.

New

Spanish audio across the whole app

You can now hear natural Spanish throughout the app, not just in lessons, so you can check how anything sounds wherever you are.

Improved

Clearer, more tactile buttons

We gave the buttons and controls a consistent look across the app, so the next action is always easy to spot and tap.

New

Share feedback from inside the app

A new in-app prompt lets you tell us what you think without leaving Little Lingua, with a handy link to your settings.

Improved

Pick up where you left off

The app now resumes at the next lesson after the last one you finished, instead of sending you back to the beginning.

Improved

More context in reviews and guides

Review and guide steps now include more context, so it is clearer what you are practising and why.

New

Daily reading (preview)

Daily reading is now available as an early preview, so you can try it while we keep refining it.

Improved

Easier typing and smoother review

The keyboard no longer covers the box you are typing in, and review sessions run more smoothly across the different exercise types.

New

The olive orchard, with Pablo

A playable olive orchard you can explore as you learn, where you can chat with Pablo, a friendly character who keeps you company.

New

Daily reading practice

A new daily reading habit, with short worksheets to build your reading a little every day.

New

Earn olives as you learn

Little Lingua now rewards your study with olives, and your very own olive orchard grows as you go.

  • Earn olives for lessons, reviews and practice.
  • Your orchard fills in as you make progress.
  • Clearer, more visible olives and a gentler pace.
Improved

Teach-first lessons

Beginner (A1) lessons now teach each idea first and then practise it, so new grammar is introduced before you are tested on it.

Improved

A smoother welcome

We polished the first-time setup screens so getting started feels calmer and never gets in your way.

  • The name screen no longer pops the keyboard over the page.
  • The location step shows a map straight away, without asking for permission up front.
  • Fixed a crash when searching for your location on Android.
Improved

Clearer tutor replies and audio

The tutor's messages now display neatly, and when it speaks it reads natural Spanish aloud instead of reading out symbols and formatting.

Fixed

Flashcard buttons no longer cut off

Fixed the review buttons being clipped at the bottom of the screen on some Android phones.

New

A proper welcome and placement test

Setting up now guides you gently to the right starting point.

  • A short welcome that asks about your goals and experience.
  • A placement test of 21 questions, from A1 to C1, that finds your level.
  • A gentle nudge to an easier level if your first lesson turns out to be a struggle.
New

Verb flashcards

A dedicated set of flashcards just for verb conjugations, showing the full table up front with simple Again, Good and Easy ratings.

Improved

A redesigned chat tab

The tutor chat got a cleaner, familiar messaging look.

  • Your recent chats in one place.
  • Level and language shown clearly at the top.
  • Tidier message bubbles with date separators.

New

Chat with an AI Spanish tutor

A new Chat tab, right in the middle of the navigation bar, lets you talk with a Spanish tutor whenever you like.

  • Adjusts to your level, from A1 up to C1.
  • Switch between English and Spanish, or Spanish only.
  • Choose a relaxed chat or a more corrective tutor mode.

New

You can now create an account so your learning follows you everywhere.

  • Sign in with Apple.
  • Your lessons, flashcards, settings and activity are saved to your account.
  • Pick up on another device, or after reinstalling, with nothing lost.

New

Spanish pronunciation is now available throughout the app, so you can always check how something sounds.

  • Tap any Spanish word, option or sentence to hear it.
  • The correct answer is read aloud after you check.
  • A new Settings screen to control the voice, speed, sound effects and haptics.
  • Works across lessons, verb practice and review.

New

The full course is here, with complete lesson paths for every level and thousands of exercises.

  • New Upper-Intermediate (B2) and Advanced (C1 to C2) paths, with 30 lessons each.
  • Around 1,350 exercises per advanced level.
  • Verb practice all the way through the advanced tenses.
  • Every exercise written to suit its level.
New

Lesson intros

Every unit now opens with a short intro showing what you will learn, the key grammar and vocabulary, and an example, so you always know what is coming.

New

Verb practice with real sentences

Verb practice now mixes in real sentences with context, not just isolated drills, using everyday vocabulary so it feels closer to real Spanish.

Improved

A second chance on small spelling slips

If your answer is only a letter or two off, the app now spots the typo and lets you fix it before marking it wrong.

Improved

One simple Practice tab

Flashcards and verb practice now live together under a single Practice tab, each showing your latest stats.

Improved

Hold and drag to reorder words

Word-order exercises now let you hold and drag words into place, with a tap to send a word back. Much closer to how you would expect it to work.

Improved

Clearer feedback after each question

The correct answer is now always shown after you answer, wrong choices are highlighted gently, and matching exercises show a tidy pairs table.

Improved

Each level keeps its own progress

Switching between levels now keeps separate progress, so moving from A1 to A2 starts you with a clean slate and a short welcome for the new level.

Improved

A clearer progress screen

We redesigned the Progress screen to be more encouraging and more useful.

  • An estimated level, with sub-levels like A1.2, so you can see how far through you are.
  • Accuracy that leans on your recent work, so one rough week fades instead of haunting your score.
  • A cleaner view of the vocabulary you are building.
Improved

Encouraging lesson summaries

At the end of a lesson you now get a friendly summary of how you did, with a gentle nudge to review anything you missed.

Improved

Answers within thumb reach

We moved the answer options and buttons to the bottom of the screen, so everything is easy to reach with one hand.

Improved

Sound and a gentle buzz

Right and wrong answers now come with a soft sound and a light vibration, so the feedback feels immediate.

Improved

Unit reviews that count

Each unit now ends with a proper review quiz of twelve to fifteen questions, and finishing it unlocks the next unit.

New

Matching pairs exercise

A new exercise type where you connect matching pairs, with audio when you tap an item.

Improved

Your words on the home screen

The home screen now shows the words you are learning at a glance, alongside a round of flashcard polish.

A big update: flashcards, verbs and progress

A major overhaul that turned the app from a simple lesson viewer into a full study tool.

  • Flashcards that bring each card back at the right time so it sticks, with four simple ratings.
  • Create your own decks and cards.
  • Verb conjugation practice that shows you the steps when you slip.
  • A simple tab layout: Home, Lessons, Practice and Progress.
  • Progress tracking with an activity grid, plus a look at your strengths and weak spots.

A full A1 course of 22 lessons covering the essentials, all written from trusted teaching material.
