Lingua Fortis is a data-driven language-learning platform. We provide a multitude of tools to help you get to fluency faster and more effectively.

Our method is based around two core concepts.

The first is that learners need to prioritize the highest frequency phrases and patterns. This is the key to becoming an independent user of the language as quickly as possible.

The second is that mastery comes from repetition and long term reinforcement so that learners develop an instinct for the language, rather than a simply theoretical knowledge about the language.

Most traditional language learning materials overemphasize words and concepts that intuitively seem like they would be common, but are in fact quite rare. Lingua Fortis creates its content by analyzing massive amounts of text in the target language and extracting the highest frequency words and patterns, ensuring you learn the most important ones first.

Because a relatively small amount of vocabulary makes up 90% of all language use, starting with this high frequency subset gets learners to fluency faster and more effectively.

The second distinguishing feature of Lingua Fortis is our focus on the development of an instinct, or muscle memory, for the language.

Most traditional methods focus on explaining concepts such as grammar rules. This overestimates our ability to apply theoretical knowledge of a pattern spontaneously in a live conversation. Lingua Fortis focuses instead on drills that help you internalize the fundamental patterns so that you can use them instinctively and spontaneously in conversation.

Lingua Fortis is for dedicated language learners who are looking for a more effective way to achieve fluency. Many of our users are people who have spent a lot of time using other methods in the past, but still find themselves struggling to hold a conversation or understand a film in their target language.

Beginners benefit from our frequency based approach as it helps them efficiently learn the highest priority content that will serve as the foundation for their language skills.

Advanced learners benefit from our method as it allows them to identify important gaps in their knowledge and and to turn their conceptual understanding of the language into instinctive ability.

Absolutely.

Lingua Fortis works wonderfully in conjunction with a traditional language-learning curriculum in a classroom setting.
