Lingvist vs. Gymglish: which is best?

Launched in 2014, Lingvist is a language learning platform that offers 6 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Portuguese.

The platform is available for mobile devices on iOS and Android.

The Lingvist method

Lingvist promises to accelerate language learning using big data and artificial intelligence. By mapping the knowledge and skills of learners, Lingvist offers courses that adapt in real time. Lingvist relies on linguistic analysis and personalization of content.

When the user logs in for the first time, they take a flashcard test to assess their vocabulary and reading comprehension level. The user can then spend 45 minutes to 90 minutes a day responding to up to 50 flashcards . They can also add and customize themed word “packages” according to their needs.

How Lingvist works:

1. The learner selects the language they wish to learn

2. They assess their level with a free trial

3. They learn vocabulary using a flashcard system

4. They set a learning reminder and can follow their progress in their personal space

The Gymglish method

Since 2004, Gymglish has been offering fun, adaptive online lessons for languages and more, based on regular sessions to optimize long term gains and memorization because there’s no use developing wonderful educational tools if they aren’t used. Gymglish motivates and encourages its users to continue their progress by making e-learning as fun as possible.

A daily email or push notification: Gymglish users receive a lesson every morning (by email or push notification on mobiles and tablets), making lessons easily accessible. There’s no need to remember passwords or logins, meaning learners are more likely to stay on track.
Microlearning: 10 to 15 minutes a day is enough to complete a lesson. We recommend short but regular effort over the long run.
Adaptive learning: Our AI software adapts each lesson to the needs and level of the learner. He or she receives personalized content, explanations and corrections to make sure every minute is well spent.
Fun, practical content: Our lessons include diverse characters and personalities, various accents, professional and personal situations, all with a touch of humor. Using humor in our storytelling not only motivates the learner and stimulates memorization, but also addresses the great number of different ways we communicate, work and live together.
Spaced repetition learning: Depending on each individual’s learning speed and capacity to remember, the engine will define different time intervals for reviewing specific points. This optimizes long-term memorization and makes sure revision is as effective as possible.
