Ditch the Dull, Embrace the Real. YOU ARE IN CHARGE NOW!
LingoBook & LingoYak help you organize your words, and sentences; learn and speak like a local wherever you go. Simply plan in your native language and transform to your target language.
- Learn what YOU want: From greetings to making requests and offers.
- Ditch the generic content: Say goodbye to cookie-cutter courses. Your native language is the foundation for your new language skills.
- Learn faster, smarter: By building on what you already know, you’ll master your new language in no time.
Traveling the world? Learn essential phrases in multiple languages before your next adventure. It’s fast, organized, and easier to get started on a new language from experience.
LingoBook acts as your personal language planner, allowing you to create custom topics and record words, sentences, or even entire conversations in your native language. This personalized roadmap forms the foundation for your language learning adventure.
This ain’t an ordinary planner. Think of it as your personal language playground, filled with templates, to record your native words, sentences, and conversations.
The best part? You plan once and learn all languages it offers at your own pace.
Once you’ve created your learning plans in LingoBook, LingoYak takes over. LingoYak seamlessly transforms your plans into your target language through specialized translation and provides native voice pronunciations as you chat.
LingoYak uses Neural Machine Translation(NMT). NMT provided major advances in translation quality over the industry-standard Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) technology.
Because NMT better captures the context of full sentences before translating them, it provides higher quality, more human-sounding, and more fluent translations.
Transliteration
Transliteration is crucial when studying languages with non-Latin characters like Chinese, Japanese, and others. It facilitates better pronunciation comprehension by converting them into Latin characters.
Consequently, we’ve developed and applied transliteration modules to address this need.
Once you have at least 10 chats on any topic, Speech Assessment unlocks, which allows you to speak, fine-tune and improve your pronunciations.
Save yourself both time and stress. Your planned topics, words, and sentences in Spanish for instance, are also ready to use in French, Italian, German etc. without writing a new one. Simply select from your available source text.
Wait! There is more.
LingoYak also comes with a comprehensive suite of irresistible features to solidify your learning.
You can transform your words and sentences either by typing your texts or speech Recognition (Keyboard and Voice Modes).
The best part? Your chats are uniquely saved in the cloud.
For convenience and lesson revision, you can access your chat history and from any device or web browser.
Simply login to your account from anywhere.
Typos in Topics or Chat text? Simply delete it.
Dictionary words can be searched either by keyboard text input or voice search.
NOTE: This Campaign is in Mexican Peso (MXN). Depending on where you’re backing our project from, Indiegogo will handle the Currency Conversion based on the Current Market Rate when backing the project.

The Story & The Team
Imagine a time before AI and machine learning truly blossomed. In 2014, that’s exactly where we were when Francis John, envisioned a revolutionary language learning system – LanguageChat. Fueled by personal experience hacking his own language learning with notebooks and Google Translate, Francis ignited the spark that would become LingoBook and LingoYak.
This vision wasn’t born alone. With the unwavering support of collaborators, Wisdom, Mark, Mary, Lupis, and Jorge, the project found its wings. In 2020, a successful Kickstarter campaign garnered the belief of 247 incredible backers, propelling LanguageChat forward.
But Francis’s dream wasn’t just about learning languages; it was about making the journey efficient and engaging for adults. This system aimed to cater to individual needs, focusing on practical language acquisition from your native language.
Fast-forward to today, and the story continues. Thanks to the unwavering support from our early backers, we’ve embraced the latest advancements in AI and Machine Learning, leveraging the power of Microsoft and OpenAI to elevate LingoBook and LingoYak to the next level.
Risks and challenges
Embarking on the journey of creating LingoYak comes with its share of risks and challenges. While we’re excited about the potential of this project, we recognize the need to address potential obstacles head-on to ensure its success. Technology Evolution: As LingoYak relies heavily on cloud infrastructures, we acknowledge the dynamic nature of these technologies. The ever-evolving landscape of cloud services presents a risk of compatibility issues and unexpected changes that could impact the functionality of our app. Version Updates: Our current state is a fully functioning private beta version. However, ensuring that all tools and dependencies are updated to the latest version before the production release is crucial. Failure to do so may result in compatibility issues, security vulnerabilities, or performance degradation. Despite these risks and challenges, the team is committed to overcoming obstacles and delivering a top-notch language learning experience. With dedication, adaptability, and the support of our backers, we are confident in LingoYak’s potential to revolutionize language learning in the digital age.
