These are the first screens you see after you install: a few quick questions, then your first lesson. No account to create, and nothing to decide about Plus.

- Add another course any time
Start where you are.
Brand new? Start at the first lesson, with no test. Know some already? Choose the closest level, or pick I’m not sure and let Loquus find your level.
- No test unless you want one
- Five starting points
- A placement check when you are not sure
5 to 20 minutes a day.
Choose a pace, from Casual to Intense. It sets the size of your daily session. A reminder is optional, and you can choose its time later.

Every tool has a purpose.
Your learning. Your space.
Less friction.
More practice.
No ads and no Loquus account to create. Core course content lives on your device. Speech voices, recognition, and translation can need initial downloads; installation and purchases need an internet connection.
Adjust sound, haptics, hints, romanization, and appearance. Export a private learning backup and import it when you need to move your progress.
Features and media shown reflect the iOS app. Availability can differ by platform and app version.
How Loquus handles your dataA few things you might be wondering.
Is Loquus free?
Yes, you can learn for free. Free access includes three lesson starts a day across your languages, standard course lessons, vocabulary review, speaking practice, and every reference tool. Loquus Plus removes the daily limit and adds section reviews, capstones, and the Arcade. Compare Free and Plus.
Which devices can I use?
Download Loquus for iPhone, iPad or Android. Get Loquus.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no Loquus account to create, and your learning stays on your device. You can export a private backup whenever you want to move it to another device.
How are these lessons different from the Loquus app?
Each web lesson focuses on one topic, and your answers aren’t saved. The app adapts lessons and review to your answers, adds speaking practice, and keeps your progress on your device.
