Save a word in Telegram. Read it back in a story tomorrow.
A simple loop I wanted for learning languages: capture words where I already chat, get a short dual-language story the next day, read without opening another homework app.
I already live in chat apps. Opening another language app, starting a lesson, protecting a streak — that friction is why I quit tools that were “good on paper.”
What I wanted was boring and specific: when I meet a word (in a chat, on a sign, in an article), I save it. Once a day I get a short story that uses those words. I read target language first, glance at my language only when I need it. Then I do it again tomorrow.
That is the LinguaLex loop. Telegram is a door in — not a cage. The same reading works on the web. Notifications can mean “your story is ready,” not “you failed a streak.”
What this is not
It is not a replacement for speaking with humans. It is not a full school curriculum with unit tests. It is not an AI chat partner as the main product.
It is reading-first vocabulary: your words, in short stories, daily. About three to five minutes if you do not overthink it.
Pricing, while we are early
We are invite-only pre-alpha. Roughly:
Free keeps you reading with limits (books, chapters, one source language). Reader is a few dollars a month if you want more languages and fewer caps. There is a one-time Founder tier while the product is early — lifetime access, closer to the people building it.
Details and the waitlist are on the homepage. The bot is at t.me/lingualex_bot if you want to poke the Telegram side.
Why I care about this shape
I learned English for real when reading stopped being homework and became something I finished because I wanted the next line. Building that for myself — and for people who already live in Telegram — is the whole point of LinguaLex.
If the method resonates more than the product, I wrote a longer piece on learning by reading, not drills.
