LingQ is built around reading and importing content, with a vocabulary tracker that marks words you've "LingQed" as you go. It's a genuinely useful reading tool, and a lot of intermediate learners use it as the reading leg of their stack.
Where the two apps differ is what happens after you save a word. In LingQ, tracking your vocabulary while reading is the whole job — flashcards, spaced repetition, and speaking practice are either separate features bolted on or, for many LingQ users in practice, a second and third app entirely (commonly Anki for cards, italki or a conversation app for speaking). Each of those tools keeps its own record of what you know.
Fluir starts from the same idea — save words while you read real, level-appropriate content — but keeps everything in one vocabulary graph. A word you save while reading becomes a spaced-repetition flashcard automatically, using the sentence from the article where you first met it as the card's context. And crucially, a word only earns Fluir's top status, active, once you've actually said it out loud in a spoken AI conversation and used it correctly — recognising a word and being able to produce it under time pressure are different skills, and Fluir tracks that difference explicitly.
If what you want is a dedicated reading/import tool and you're happy running separate apps for flashcards and speaking, LingQ is a solid choice for the reading piece. If you'd rather have reading, flashcards, and spoken practice pull from one connected record of what you actually know — including a real measure of what you can say, not just recognise — that's the gap Fluir is built to close.
Every article is pitched to your personal 90-98% comprehensible zone — enough new words to grow, never a wall of unfamiliar text.
Tap any word while reading and it's saved into your vocabulary graph, with the real sentence you met it in.
Saved words become spaced-repetition flashcards automatically — never a generic pre-made deck.
A word only counts as truly learned once you've actually said it correctly in a spoken AI conversation.
No. Signup asks for no card and takes you straight into a real, full article — free. A card is only ever requested if you choose to start the 7-day trial after that first article.
Every article is checked by an automated CEFR difficulty gate before it's published, so it's genuinely pitched to the stated level — not simplified into unnatural textbook Spanish, and not native-speed text that outruns the level.
Each saved word enters your personal vocabulary graph, which also feeds your flashcard reviews and your AI conversation practice — one connected record of what you know, not three separate tools that don't talk to each other.
