Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Language Island.

Is Language Island really free?

Yes! Our free plan gives you 25 new sentences per week, unlimited review of your collection, spaced repetition practice, and access to all 6 languages. Premium unlocks unlimited sentences and additional features.

Why learn sentences instead of vocabulary?

Research shows that learning words in context (sentences) leads to 3x better retention than memorizing isolated vocabulary. Sentences teach you grammar, pronunciation, and usage patterns naturally—the same way children learn their first language.

What languages are available?

Language Island supports English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese. You can learn any language from any language—the entire app adapts to your native language.

How does spaced repetition work?

Our SM-2 algorithm schedules reviews at optimal intervals based on how well you know each sentence. Items you struggle with appear more often; items you've mastered fade into longer intervals. This maximizes retention while minimizing study time.

Can I create my own sentences?

Yes! Our sentence builder lets you create custom sentences with professional audio generation. Free users get limited custom sentences; Premium users can create up to 1,000 per month.

Is there a mobile app?
