Lingoal HD is a full English language learning web browser and eBook reader with a one-click integrated dictionary for iPad. It turns definitions (in English) or translations (16 languages available) into exercises for the apps Learning Tool. Challenge yourself and friends by setting learning goals (Lingoals!) and let the app coach you to achieve them.

Lingoal HD allows you to:

- Use interesting and relevant links suggested by other users
- download any free or premium eBook (ePub – DRM-free format)

The learning process starts immediately. While reading, you can tap unfamiliar words to look them up in the dictionary and save them to your personal exercises in the app’s learning Tool. Learning is fast and effective with the comprehensive Brainglass method. The Learning Tool keeps track of how well you know words using six different exercises types spanning three progressive knowledge levels:

A) UNDERSTAND new words to be able to read and listen:
(1) in context, (2) without context and (3) from audio

B) USE new words to be able to write or talk:
(4) in context and (5) without context

C) SPELL words to graduate from the final level:
(6) spelling (type in word with virtual keyboard) in context

The Learning Tool monitors learning and schedules repetition to your personal ability and activity patterns, reminding you to practice at adapted intervals.
