About Loquus
One developer.
14 languages.
Loquus is a language learning app for iPhone, iPad and Android, with free lessons on this website. Here is who makes it, how the lessons are put together and how to get in touch.
Why Loquus exists
Loquus is built around one line: “Your voice was never meant for only one language.” The aim is to help you find that voice in another language, with explanations you can follow, examples you can use and a real way to start without paying.
What Loquus is
The app teaches 14 languages: Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Belgian Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Hindi. It is in beta on iPhone and iPad through TestFlight, and on Android through a Google Play closed beta. You can use it with free access or subscribe to Loquus Plus, which is billed through Apple or Google Play.
Who makes Loquus
Loquus is an independent project, built and supported by one developer. The same person reads every message sent to support, so a question, a bug report or a correction goes straight to someone who can act on it.
What the free website offers
This website has 350 free lessons, 25 in each of the 14 courses. Every lesson has explanations, examples with their meanings, worked examples, common mistakes, “your turn” tasks and a practice challenge whose answers are explained, so a wrong answer shows you what to look at again. Choose a course on the free lessons page and start in your browser.
The website is available in 13 languages. Lesson explanations are being translated lesson by lesson, so some lessons can already be read in more languages than others.
How lessons are made
Each lesson draws on published references and lists them in a collapsed “Sources” section, so you can check them yourself. Examples include the Real Academia Española and ASALE, the Instituto Cervantes, the British Council, university language resources, and standard dictionaries and grammars.
The explanations, examples and practice questions are written for each lesson and checked against those references. Every lesson shows the byline “By Loquus” and the date it was last reviewed.
Corrections
Corrections are welcome. If something in a lesson looks wrong, say so in the discussion under that lesson, or send it by email. It helps to name the lesson, quote the sentence and say what you think should change. When a correction holds up, the lesson is updated.
Get in touch
Email is the fastest way to reach Loquus: support@loquuslanguage.com. If you are reporting a problem, mention your device and the language you are learning.
