ABOUT LINGO LEGEND
Learning a language is one of the most rewarding experiences but many people struggle to reach their goals. Most language learning apps treat motivation as an afterthought – we think it's half the battle! Lingo Legend is a platform that combines language with gaming so that learners stay motivated and practicing over the long haul.
Our mission is to continue expanding Lingo Legend with awesome game experiences inspired by the ones that we love to play, while creating novel learning experiences that are truly engaging.

ABOUT THE GAME
Our first game experience is a card-battling RPG in which players build a deck, battle monsters, and explore a vibrant world. In combat, players draw ability cards and must answer language challenges to play them against a lineup of unique monsters with distinct strategies.
A second, all-new farming sim adventure is available now. Players will build and decorate their own farm, plant & harvest crops, and care for their own collection of magical creatures called the naala, all while learning a new language, of course!
Both experiences are seamlessly connected through the same fantasy world. Players will play as their own customizable avatar and complete an expansive storyline told through quirky characters and quests.
Learning a language has never been this fun.
