In essence, Lingopie offers you a novel and highly authentic way to learn a language through TV. It immerses you in the culture of the language youâre learning and teaches you the new language through native films and television from around the world.
Besides making it more fun and engaging, watching movies and TV shows has been shown to be a highly effective tool for language learning.
Lingopieâs rationale rests upon this mind-opening knowledge and that is why we offer a diverse and comprehensive catalog for all our language learners to make use of when they embark on the courageous journey toward learning a foreign language.
The Lingopie Learning Method
The Lingopie learning method will help you reach your goal in the quickest, most practical way possible. Fundamentally, instead of memorizing words through repetition, youâll be learning in context by becoming familiar with how natives actually speak in real-life.
Thatâs not all, though! In addition to the wide range of media content available, Lingopie has created numerous features that were designed and catered specifically to enhance our subscribersâ learning experience.
These features can help you optimize your language learning since they incorporate a wide range of aspects related to language learning to make sure that your experience isnât solely passive.
Thatâs how we make sure that our learners have access to an integral and holistic approach. This way, our members get a well-rounded and complete absorption, rather than simply working on one isolated competency.
That way, you can upgrade your language learning in a way that is conducive to your growth. In order to assist you in making the most of all our features, today weâll be outlining them and showing you exactly how to use them. You should get all that you can and more out of our platform!
