How it works

Review

01

Scroll through videos while learning a new language

No lesson screen, no set of example sentences. Just real videos in a language that you chose, about a topic you are interested in.

Under the video, the transcript keeps pace with the speech, the lines moving as it's spoken. Dual-language subtitles mean that you can easily see the translations. You're not studying in a traditional way, you're watching something and learning at the same time.

02

Don't know a word? Tap it

If a word goes past that you don't know, tap it, and a pop-up opens right where you were already looking: what it means, what kind of word it is, and a plain-English note on what it's doing in that sentence.

When it's the whole sentence confusing you rather than one word, swipe that line sideways. You get a short breakdown of how it fits together, the kind of thing a tutor would lean over and tell you.

No switching apps. No dictionary tab. No losing your place.

A tapped word opens a card reading "ocupado", translated as "busy" and labelled as an adjective, with a Save button beside it.

03

Saving a word takes one tap

Tap "+". That's it. It gets saved to your cards.

Nothing to name, nothing to file. It's saved, and you never need to leave the app.

This is the part that makes it stick: you never sit down to study. Your card deck fills up on its own, as a side effect of watching things you actually wanted to watch. Every card in it came from a word or sentence you picked.

04

Review words whenever you like

Some time later, there's a number on the Cards tab. The word or sentence you saved is waiting to be reviewed. You say how well you knew it, and Bingua works out when to show it to you next.

Want to push harder? Run a ten-question quiz built entirely from your own cards: listening, typing, matching, saying words out loud into the mic, and more.

Why Bingua

Built for anyone that wants to learn a language without making it feel like a task

Beginner apps have a ceiling

Their sentences are made up. Nobody actually says them. Bingua uses videos made by real speakers of any of the 6 languages.

Raw videos give you no way of translating or reviewing what you learn

No translation on screen, no way to save the words you didn't know, no help at all. Bingua adds exactly that layer.

A dictionary next to the video ruins the video

All that switching back and forth is why the habit dies after a week. Here the translation and explanation opens where you were already looking, and the video keeps playing as soon as you are done reading.

One loop

Watch โ†’ understand โ†’ save โ†’ review is one continuous motion, and the studying happens as a by-product of the watching.

Bingua is not a course, not a grammar app, not a social network, and not a translator.

One subscription. Everything in it.

Bingua is a subscription app. There's no free tier and no ad-supported version: you subscribe, and you get the whole app.

Monthly

$7.99per month

The complete app. Cancel any time through your app store account.

YearlyBest value

$39.99per year

The same complete app, for less, and it includes a 7-day free trial.

Download Bingua on the App Store

Both plans are identical: all six languages, unlimited translations, unlimited saved cards, and the full quiz. The yearly plan isn't a bigger version of Bingua, it's the same Bingua for less. The free trial is available on the yearly plan only.

You don't need an account. Bingua works fully as a guest and keeps everything on your device. Make an account only if you want your cards, progress and settings to follow you to another device. That's also the only way to move a subscription to a new phone.

Subscriptions renew automatically. You manage and cancel yours through your app store account, any time.

Questions

Is there a free version?

No. Bingua is subscription-only: $7.99 a month, or $39.99 a year. The yearly plan comes with a 7-day free trial; the monthly plan doesn't have one. We'd rather tell you that here than after you've downloaded it.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Bingua works completely as a guest, storing your cards and progress on your device, so you can subscribe without ever signing up. An account is optional. It syncs your cards, progress and settings across devices, and it's the only way to carry a subscription to a new phone.

Which languages can I learn?

Six: Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese, each with its own library of real video. English is always the translation side. One subscription covers all six, so you can switch whenever you like.

I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?

Yes. Bingua works for complete beginners too: the platform is built so that the speech in the videos goes at the same speed as your current level in that language. Even if real video still feels hard at first, the speed controls, word and sentence explanations, familiar subjects, and progressive exposure give you an early foothold. Bingua teaches you from day one and keeps delivering value.

Where do the videos come from?

They're made by native speakers, for native speakers. Real video about real subjects, not clips recorded for a language course. Bingua doesn't host or produce any of it. What Bingua adds is the layer on top: the synced dual-language transcript, the tap-for-translation, the sentence breakdowns, and the review deck built from what you saved.

Is Bingua a course?

Not in the traditional sense, and that's exactly the point. There's no rigid syllabus, no forced Unit 1, no placement test, and nothing dictating what you "should" study today. Instead, the feed and the review deck are the method: you watch what genuinely interests you, save the words that stop you, and the deck brings them back right when you need them. If you're looking to learn a language, Bingua offers something freer, more personal, and far more engaging.
