Snap the café, the street, the view.
Linguini finds the words in your photo and turns them into a five-minute game in Spanish, French, German or beginner Korean.
While traditional language apps teach everyone the same vocabulary, Linguini turns your own surroundings into your classroom, making language learning personal, practical, and relevant to your everyday life.

Every Linguini session follows the same small loop, from your own photo or a ready-made scene. It fits in a coffee break, and fills your vocabulary bank.
Take a photo wherever you are: your desk, the bus stop, the view from a bridge. No photo today? Pick one of the ready-made scenes instead.
It finds the objects worth learning, plus words for how they look and where they are, each with its article, pronunciation and audio. You decide which words stay.

Linguini says
Veo, veo… algo que es amarillo y sirve para escribir.
Everything in Linguini is built around five spare minutes and a photo: play solo or with a friend, start from a ready-made scene, and watch your words and Basil add up.
Open a private room and send a friend the invite code or link. You each add 2–4 photos, then take turns giving a clue and spotting the object. Every round you find together earns XP and Basil leaves for you both.
Pick a ready-made scene, from a café to Paris at dusk. The words are already waiting, so you can start in seconds.
AI suggests the words. You keep the useful ones, drop the rest, and tap the photo to add anything it missed.
Every word and clue has audio. A quick mic check gets you ready to answer out loud, so the words leave your head through your mouth, not just your thumbs. Rather type? That works too.

No. Your own photos make the best lessons, but Linguini also has ready-made scenes — a café, a market, a street, a park and more — for days when your camera roll is quiet. Pick one from Practice and its words are ready straight away.
Spanish, French and German, plus beginner Korean, taught from English. Every word comes with its meaning, pronunciation and audio, with articles and grammatical gender where the language uses them. Korean currently focuses on beginner content.
Beginners and returning learners. Spanish and French cover roughly CEFR A1 to A2, German covers beginner and early learning paths, and Korean currently focuses on beginner A0 content. Sessions stay short and focus on everyday words and sentences you can use straight away.
You have the final say. Before a session starts you see every word Linguini found; remove anything that’s wrong, or tap the photo to add something it missed.
They stay in your account and are only used to build your sessions. They are never shown to other learners, unless you choose to add them to a private I Spy room you share with a friend.
Yes. Start a private I Spy room and share its invite code or link with one friend learning the same language. You each add 2–4 photos, then take turns giving a clue and spotting the object. Rounds you solve together earn XP and Basil leaves for you both. Prefer to play alone? Solo I-Spy with Linguini is always available.
Every word you keep goes into your vocabulary bank, grouped by the scene you learned it in and marked new, learning or mastered. Your progress page shows the words you’ve learned and mastered, the scenes you’ve played, your streak and your Basil, and the I-Spy page shows this week’s Basil leaderboard.
Linguini runs in your browser on phone, tablet or laptop, so there is nothing to install. On your phone you can add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Everyone who signs up during the public beta gets the Beta tier with unlimited photo lessons every day, plus ready-made scenes, vocabulary games and progress. No payment card is required. Free and Plus tiers may be introduced after the beta.
Sign up in under a minute, pick Spanish, French, German or beginner Korean, and turn today’s photo into your first lesson.
