$7.99/month or $39.99/year. 7-day free trial on the yearly plan.
Real video made by native speakers, already playing when you open the app.
Tap any word for its translation and what it's doing in that sentence.
Tap "+" and it's a flashcard. You're still watching.
Saved words come back just before you'd have forgotten them.
01
Bingua opens on a video that's already playing. Not a lesson, not a set of example sentences: real video made by native speakers, on the subjects you told it you were interested in when you set up.
Underneath, the transcript scrolls in time with the speech: the line as it's spoken, and the English line right under it. You're not reading a lesson. You're watching something and following more of it than you would anywhere else.
02
A word goes past that you don't know. Tap it, and a card opens right where your eye already was: the translation, the part of speech, and a plain-English note on what that word is doing in that sentence. Not a dictionary entry, an explanation of the line you're looking at.
When it's the whole sentence that tangles you up rather than one word, swipe that line sideways. You get a short breakdown of how it fits together, the thing a tutor would lean over and tell you.
No app switch. No dictionary tab. No losing your place.
03
Tap "+". That's the entire action.
No deck to choose. No form to fill in. No deciding whether a word is important enough to be worth saving. It's saved, and you're still watching.
This is the part that makes it stick: you never sit down to study. The deck fills up as a by-product of watching things you wanted to watch, and every card in it came from a video you chose.
04
A couple of days later, the Cards tab has a number on it. The word you saved is waiting, surfaced at the point you were about to lose it. You grade how well you knew it, and the deck decides when you'll see it next.
When you want to push harder, run a ten-question quiz built entirely from your own saved cards: listening, typing, matching, and saying the words out loud into the microphone.
There's a daily goal you set yourself and a streak that ticks over when you hit it. They're there if you want them, and they're not the point.
Why Bingua
You can order a coffee. You still can't sit through a real video without losing the thread. That gap is what Bingua is for.
Their sentences are manufactured. Nobody actually says them. Bingua's material is video made by native speakers, for native speakers.
Real content comes with zero scaffolding: no inline translation, no way to save what you didn't know. Bingua adds exactly that layer, and nothing else.
The mode switch is why that habit dies after a week. Here the answer opens where your eye already is, and the video keeps playing.
Everywhere else you do a lesson, then separately you watch something. Watch → understand → save → review is a single continuous motion, and the studying is a by-product of the watching.
Bingua is not a course, not a grammar app, not a social network, and not a translator.
Bingua is a subscription app. There's no free tier and no ad-supported version: you subscribe, and you get the whole app.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Probably not yet. Bingua is built for people who already have a foothold in the language: you can follow a slow speaker on a familiar subject, but real video still leaves you behind. If you're starting from nothing, a structured beginner course will serve you better first, and Bingua will be here when it stops teaching you anything.
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.
No. There's no syllabus, no unit one, no placement test, and nothing telling you what to study today. The feed and the review deck are the whole method: you watch what interests you, save the words that stopped you, and the deck brings them back. If you want a structured path from A1 to C1, Bingua isn't it.
