Roadmap
Here's what we're working on next. Check this page before sending feedback — your idea might already be on the way!
Reading on a phone
In progressThe player should always be within reach — no scrolling to find it, nothing clipped at the corners, and buttons big enough to hit. Alongside it, an option to follow along by scrolling without every word lighting up.
Start reading a video in seconds
In progressBring a YouTube video and begin reading it almost at once. Once import is that fast, your first session can start with something you chose and previewed yourself, instead of a lesson we picked for you.
A shelf worth reading
PlannedA curated collection of real material in each language — chosen, imported and ready — so you can start without having to go find something first.
Take a lesson with you
PlannedDownload a lesson's audio and listen anywhere — a commute, a plane, or anywhere the signal isn't.
Guided listening that comes to you
PlannedGuided listening invites you to begin a phase again when you reach the end of it — but today that means scrolling back to the top to accept. The invitation should meet you where you are.
Twelve more languages
Completed Completed September 2026Danish, Afrikaans, Estonian, Basque, Galician, Croatian, Icelandic, Lithuanian, Latvian, Malay, Slovak and Slovenian. Paste in any text or import from YouTube, with word-by-word karaoke and translations.
Find your level
Completed Completed September 2026A placement test in the language you're learning that climbs from A1 to C2. You listen to short clips and answer questions, and "I don't know" is always an option. Your level shows on your Progress tab, and every retake asks new questions.
Check your understanding
Completed Completed September 2026End a lesson by showing what you understood. Score 80% and the lesson counts as complete, and teachers can require the check for their class. If the reference translation was wrong, challenge the grade and a teacher or our team will review it.
See how your class is doing
Completed Completed September 2026A page for every pupil, the words your class keeps stumbling on, time spent on each assignment, and a weekly goal. During a lesson, go live to see who is stuck right now while you walk the room.
Hear any word
Completed Completed September 2026Click a word to hear it spoken on its own, then hear the whole line.
Built for schools
Completed Completed September 2026Schools can keep pupils to the material their teachers choose, with YouTube switched off. Pupils can sign in with a password their teacher manages, so they don't need an email address, and a whole class can be imported from a spreadsheet.
See your progress
Completed Completed September 2026See your study time, words read and streak for each language you learn. Mark a lesson complete once you've listened through it, and watch each course fill in on your library shelf.
Import a whole YouTube playlist
Completed Completed August 2026Paste a playlist link and it becomes a course, with every video as a lesson in the playlist's order.
Annual plans
Completed Completed August 2026Pay yearly and get two months free.
Greek Old Testament
Completed Completed August 2026The Septuagint joins the Greek New Testament as a built-in course, so you can read the whole Greek Bible.
Furigana for Japanese
Completed Completed August 2026Every kanji now carries its reading in hiragana, set large enough to read, and words are split where a Japanese reader would split them.
Report a wrong translation
Completed Completed August 2026Spot a translation that's off? Flag the word from the reader and it reaches us the same day.
Walk-through video
Completed Completed August 2026A short video tour of LangFontes — onboarding, using the interface, and finding and importing from YouTube.
Tell us what you think
Completed Completed August 2026A feedback button in the header, in the reader, and at the foot of every lesson. Say what's wrong or what's missing without leaving the page you're on, and it reaches us straight away.
In-context translation
Completed Completed August 2026Improved the contextualization of our translation algorithm, making significant gains in quality
Tajik language support
Completed Completed August 2026Tajik joins the languages you can learn — a complete audio Bible and an alphabet lesson imported already for convenience
Gather your lessons into courses
Completed Completed August 2026Your own lessons can now be collected into courses, so a series you're working through — a book, a channel, a set of articles — groups together in the library instead of scattering across it.
Find me a video
Completed Completed July 2026Out of ideas for what to study? Say what interests you and we write the searches in the language you're learning, show you that plan so you can change it, then hand you a shortlist of real videos to choose from. Every one you pick becomes a lesson with audio and a transcript.
Onboard with lessons built around your interests
Completed Completed July 2026New learners describe what they'd like to learn about, and we find real videos on it in the language they're learning. While that course is being built, they read our first lesson on how to learn a language.
A first lesson on how to learn a language
Completed Completed July 2026We wrote a lesson about the method itself — why listening and reading together works — and translated and voiced it in every language we teach. It sits first in your library, so your very first lesson teaches the method and the language at the same time.
Teacher and classroom support
Completed Completed July 2026Set up a classroom, invite your students by email or roster, assign anything from the library — our own courses included — and follow each learner's work from one dashboard, with per-seat billing handled for your school or organization.
Import lessons from YouTube
Completed Completed July 2026Turn any YouTube video into a lesson — paste a link and we pull in the audio and transcript so you can read and listen along.
Clarify lesson creation flow
Completed Completed July 2026A friendlier lesson creation flow which makes clear which combinations of fields are valid.
Long audio uploads
Completed Completed July 2026Upload multi-hour recordings without hitting size limits — long files are split and transcribed automatically from start to finish.
Pashto language support
Completed Completed June 2026Learn Pashto as a target language, with full right-to-left support — import your own content just like with our other languages.
Dozens of new languages
Completed Completed June 2026You can now learn in 53 languages, each with a complete audio Bible and word-by-word karaoke highlighting, ready to import and study.
Greek New Testament

Gentle new user introduction
