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 progress

The 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 progress

Bring 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

Planned

A 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

Planned

Download a lesson's audio and listen anywhere — a commute, a plane, or anywhere the signal isn't.

Guided listening that comes to you

Planned

Guided 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 2026

Danish, 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 2026

A 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 2026

End 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 2026

A 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 2026

Click a word to hear it spoken on its own, then hear the whole line.

Built for schools

Completed Completed September 2026

Schools 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 2026

See 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 2026

Paste a playlist link and it becomes a course, with every video as a lesson in the playlist's order.

Annual plans

Completed Completed August 2026

Pay yearly and get two months free.

Greek Old Testament

Completed Completed August 2026

The 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 2026

Every 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 2026

Spot a translation that's off? Flag the word from the reader and it reaches us the same day.

Walk-through video

Completed Completed August 2026

A short video tour of LangFontes — onboarding, using the interface, and finding and importing from YouTube.

Tell us what you think

Completed Completed August 2026

A 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 2026

Improved the contextualization of our translation algorithm, making significant gains in quality

Tajik language support

Completed Completed August 2026

Tajik 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 2026

Your 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 2026

Out 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 2026

New 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 2026

We 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 2026

Set 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 2026

Turn 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 2026

A friendlier lesson creation flow which makes clear which combinations of fields are valid.

Long audio uploads

Completed Completed July 2026

Upload multi-hour recordings without hitting size limits — long files are split and transcribed automatically from start to finish.

Pashto language support

Completed Completed June 2026

Learn 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 2026

You 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

Completed Completed June 2026

The Greek New Testament as a built-in course, so you can read Koine Greek with contextual translations from day one.

Gentle new user introduction

Completed Completed June 2026

A friendlier first-run experience that walks new learners through their first lesson and the reading interface step by step.
