Great video Dustin! My favourite feature ever on Lingq is being able to see your lingqs in yellow and it's so helpful because I think seeing words naturally is the best way to memorise vocabulary. Like I have seen people do hours each day on Anki to memorise vocabulary word by word but seeing it in different context is the best way imo.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback. Exactly I think that's the main benefit of LingQ and it's unique selling point. It can teach you comprehension of a language and help you build a good base to also start speaking. But of course speaking is a different skill that needs to be trained separately.
Thanks, this is a very useful review. I've been putting off downloading Lingq (since I'm a bit overwhelmed with other material in my Japanese/French studies at the moment), but it does look like the best you can get for most languages when it comes to comprehensible input. I must admit to finding the number of 'features' of many apps/sites off-putting - I feel that these are often motivated by a sales pitch, not for real learning, but I guess so long as you have choice its not a bad thing.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback :). Yes don't overburden yourself otherwise it might stress you out. With language learning we are fast at putting on more and more stuff to do, but I have also come to a point where I now need to stop starting and start finishing stuff. I know what you mean, but in the end the companies have to pay their bills, so I get it. But yes we should just use the resources that bring us closer to our goals and not promote pseudo learning. I trust in the comprehensible input hypothesis, because it has worked for me so far :).
Thanks for this great overview :) I love the new features of LingQ! I knew I recognized that the sentence translation improved :D now I know why. Awesome! I can't wait to import my ebooks and audiobooks in full length:)) For the feature I'd love LingQ to implement a more natural audio generation like natural reader. This would be super helpful. It would be also helpful if the sentences would not get cut if you import via YT. Hope you will have a great week :)) I will try out the italian podcast as well.
Thanks again for the positive feedback Bumble :). Yes I haven't yet imported something really big to see how it works, but I've had already input three or four times the size of what it used to be and that worked quite well. Definitely! A better audio generation would be awesome. Nowadays, there is quite some great stuff on the market. But it has to fit into the product and shouldn't generate too much additional cost… Otherwise, it would affect the pricing, I guess. Oh, yes TH-cam imports, especially with auto generated subtitles get broken really bad if you want to use the sentence review. I hope you also have a great week :).
@@DustinSchermaul thanks :) Yeah that's true. At the moment that would be too expensive I guess. Natural reader for example is more expensive than LingQ by itself, so to integrate that would be unrealistic at this point. But maybe in the distant future, that would be great :D
The latest update of LingQ has a problem of "chunking" imported content into arbitrary lessons of about 2500 words. I'm mentioned this on the forum and requested that the threshold be raised.
I have been using LingQ for a couple months now, studying Bulgarian, and I've come to the end of the mini-stories and have started importing TH-cam videos, and epubs. I find that it does a poor job of getting the sentences right. It is frustrating, because it takes a lot of work to fix, but I prefer to go through these things a sentence at a time, so I need it to be that way. Do you have that issue, or have you found a work around?
Thanks for your feedback! I have heard of that problem multiple times and I have also had it already. I haven't found yet a workaround other than fixing it manually, but I'm also not using it very much. The languages I have learned so far didn't have such a complexity that it became necessary. If I would learn a language like Bulgarian for example it would be definitely different and I would also try to use more the sentence review to focus on the one phrase at hand.
Waiting for sentence review for ages. Never used the review function because the linqqs were never presented in their whole context. Going to have a look at this.
How do you like LingQ and which feature, would you like to have as well? Thank you very much for watching and see you the next time :).
Thanks for your support as always, Dustin.
You’re welcome Steve! :-)
Hopefully the price of lifetime subscription will drop to support poor users.

Ausgezeichnet! Very informative and stimulating.
Thank you very much! 🤗
very very useful! I checked it out for Persian and it is not as good as for others, but doable. Thanks for the video my man!
Thanks for the positive feedback Max :-). Good to know that it also works for Persian!

Ah, thank you very much for the feedback! That I didn't know. Hope it gets fixed soon.
movie about LingQ which couldn't be imported into LingQ: Error: Importing failed - Subtitles can't be used
Fixed! Thanks for bringing that up ;).
I only have 1 mo subscription with LingQ. Hope to use your code after the end of the month.
Thank you so much for your support :). I hope that it provides you lots of value.

LingQ is the best tool!
I totally agree! 🤗

Yes I know what you mean :(. Depends also on the imported lesson and how it can break them down into a sentence, I guess.
danke
Gern geschehen :).
How can we trust your advise when you are clearly an affiliate marketer for LingQ?
You don't have to... Just try it out yourself ;).
