About Polygloss: Express yourself in another language

Are you feeling stuck in the "I can understand but I can't speak" part of your language learning journey? Despite all you've learned so far, do you feel you can't communicate? Look no more, Polygloss is right for you!

★ Guess images with friends.
★ Write creatively and increase your active vocabulary!
★ Available for 40+ languages for FREE.(English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Norwegian, Greek, Japanese, Dutch, Chinese, Welsh, Russian, Arabic, Esperanto, and many more)
★ Ideal for motivated beginners and intermediate language learners (A2-B2). Not recommended for complete beginners.
★ Works really well alongside popular language learning apps like Duolingo.

For most language learners, moving from ‘understanding’ to ‘communicating’ is difficult. Those first conversations are stressful and don’t get any results.

This is where Polygloss comes in. Our mission is to help language learners be independent and enjoy life using a foreign language.

How do we do it?

Polygloss is an image guessing game that offers you sufficient interaction, guidance and lets you express yourself with freedom. Using new words, in your own personal context, is the best method for increasing your vocabulary. Better than simply reading, re-reading and memorizing words out of context!
Polygloss works, is science-backed, and was awarded best paper* at the 9th NLP4CALL workshop series at The University of Gothenburg.

Why does it work?
It is normal for language learners to experience more language exposure than language creation. Language creation is hard and needs to be nurtured.

There are different ways to increase your active vocabulary (words that you have the ability to use, not just understand). This includes intense repetition, consuming content you enjoy (books, series, movies), flashcards, etc. These methods are great and should be part of any language learners tool kit.

But, there is another way to increase your active vocabulary. Simply by using words. Ideally in your own personalized context.

And that’s why Polygloss works. It allows you to start communicating in a low stress environment. Helping you easily increase your active vocabulary and communication confidence.

Very polished app. I it's a different take at learning and practicing new languages. I'd just like to point out that this color scheme maybe is a bit too vibrant. What about a lower key green? Cheers
