Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many languages does Polyglot support?

Polyglot currently supports 14 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Bengali, and Indonesian.

Q: Is Polyglot free?

Yes, completely free. No account needed, no ads, no paywalls.

Q: How does Polyglot help me learn vocabulary?

Polyglot uses direct visual association. Instead of translating foreign words through your native language, you match them directly to emoji images. This builds faster neural pathways, similar to how children learn their first language.

Q: How do I get better at a language?

Start with 2-3 answer choices in one category (e.g. Animals) so you can build confidence, then raise the number of answers and mix categories. Because one wrong answer ends the run, your streak becomes a clear measure of how well you actually know the words.
