Why LanguageCrush?
It boils down to 3 reasons: Top-notch free tools, an abundance of qualified teachers, and a diverse and welcoming community.
The Reading Tool
Our leading-edge reading tool keeps you moving without breaking your rhythm. Come across a word or phrase you don’t understand? No problem!
Mouse-over dictionary
The built-in mouse-over dictionary lets you highlight anything you don’t understand and get a quick translation in context.
Stacked with features
Most pop-up dictionaries won’t give you definitions for phrases, don’t color code words that you’ve looked up before, and don’t keep statistics. Ours does all three.
Upload audio & import video
You can upload audio and import YouTube videos, too. (Sweet, right?)
104 languages
Oh, and it supports 104 languages, more than any other hosted reading tool available.

A Diverse and Welcoming Community
Our founder, Leo Smith, is a language learning enthusiast who created LanguageCrush as a way to give back to fellow language learners all across the world.
The LanguageCrush community is a group of like-minded people on a mission to learn new languages and experience new cultures. We are polyglots and dabblers, beginners and experts, learners and teachers. We are from multiple countries, time zones, and continents all across the world. We consider our geographic differences to be a benefit that broadens our perspective. We have a common goal – language acquisition with the support and encouragement of one another in that pursuit.
We envision a bustling website where fellow learners can pursue their language learning goals and interact with a global community. LanguageCrush was built with the sole intention of creating a platform where users anywhere can learn a language while having fun and making friends. Ultimately, we would like to see the LanguageCrush site managed entirely by our strong community of learners and teachers.
We give back
It gets better: we give back. All profits after operating expenses and development costs go to support our charity project in Tanzania, Africa: the Woyode school in Africa, an elementary school for the Masaai children.
