LingQ
LingQ is a reading-and-listening platform built around comprehensible input: import any text or transcript, look up unknown words inline, and track them as they move from new to known across thousands of repetitions. Co-founded by polyglot Steve Kaufmann, it operationalises the input hypothesis better than any other tool by making 'reading at your level' the central daily habit. A free tier supports a meaningful amount of practice before any paywall kicks in.
