Frequently asked questions
What learners ask most about Mingo.
Is Mingo really free?
Yes. Mingo is fully free for core learning features: reading, vocabulary building, daily practice. No ads, no forced upgrades.
How is Mingo different from Duolingo?
Duolingo teaches through short exercises. Mingo teaches through real news — you learn vocabulary and grammar in real context, the way natives read the news every day.
Which languages does Mingo support?
English, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, German, and many more — continuously expanding.
What level do I need to start?
Any level. Articles are leveled by CEFR (A1–C2), and the system recommends articles matching your current level.
Is there a mobile app?
The web version works great on mobile. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon.
How long until I see results?
Reading 15–20 minutes a day for 3 months can boost your real-context vocabulary by 30–40%. Mingo's streak system helps you build the habit.
