Is there anyway that the UI can be updated to make lessons and courses ive uploaded or saved show up more easily? Ive sometimes tried just searching so stuff i know ive uploaded or looked at, but the search just doesnt give any results. It’d be nice if things were sorted by when it was uploaded, (specifically an archive type option, where you can see what you’ve uploaded by month or year) if its text only, audio or video uploaded. I really want to clean up and better organize my lessons but its so cumbersome and time consuming.

Agreed, 100%! It’s the most tiring and cumbersome part of using LingQ; we manage, but it definitely needs something. I feel like it’s trying to be too much at the same time.
1 small improvement: when viewing courses, the ‘Internal’ and ‘External’ buttons disappear. Adding those would help a little.
Another: Add ‘Imported Courses’ to ‘Continue Studying’ on the Library page.

It would be even better if users could create their own library shelves instead of having every course under Continue Studying. Even completed courses are still there and by definition they should not be. I have already made the suggestion to the team many times.

Having a more customisable Library page would be great. A sort of ‘pin to Library page’ feature would be nice. Removing stuff we don’t want from the same page would be amazing.

I agree, it’s a big mess.
I upload around 3 articles a day; that’s 100 a month. I initially created a dedicated course to not overload ‘Quick Import’, but 6 months later, it’s overcrowded.
A big mess.

Another couple of things I think would help:
-
Add ‘# of Unique Words’, ‘Total # of Words’ to the ‘Sort by’ dropdown in the library.
-
Add an ‘Ascending/Descending’ toggle somewhere. Oldest to Newest + Newest to Oldest can become ‘Date added’ + a toggle;
-
Add ‘Me’ to the Shared by / Provider search (which is, btw, not alphanumeric in order - kinda hard to use unless you know their name). (Quick Question on that list: is this filtered by active language?)

It’s worth mentioning that the lag I get every single time I use LingQ, makes all of this headache worse. There are some major performance issues going on here.

I agree! also if we can organize (the order) our playlists! We should listen more but if one has been using LingQ for a while the playlists soon become a mess. I would like to be able to move them around at least. Have what I’m currently listening to at the top.

If you want you can move single lessons between courses. So you could create courses named " October 2025" or “Newspaper articles - Sports”. And when you open a lesson in the “edit lesson” mode you can move that lesson to one of your courses. So you can put all your imports in order - if wanted. Or you can give your lessons tags like “October 2025” while importing (or later) and filter your imports by tag.
That works for lessons currently being uploaded but it’d be nice to have a streamlined way to edit or clean up more stuff. Im pretty sure ive got well over a hundred uploaded lessons.

Agree. i would like to organize the courses and lessons. Once a lesson is imported you cannot move it into a course now.
@82bd4crqyn To move a lesson into a different course, open a lesson > Edit Lesson. On the Edit lesson page select a course you want to move it to and save.
Hi, actually you can do it easily and in an hour you could organize 60 - 90 lessons. I have about 800 imported lessons and the reorganization worked very well. If you have more questions about how every step works, just sent me a message and I’ll explain step by step.

I agree, this is a MAJOR annoyance: I import about 3 articles per day; that’s 100 a month. I’d like to reread old articles in batch, f.ex. to confirm old learned words are still known.
Problem: if I reopen each day 10 articles I read 6 months ago, they will colonize the head of the “Continue studying” queue and push the recent articles to oblivion territory.
There are many “valid” ways to learn a language, and there are many “valid” ways to use LingQ.
I think the LingQ team should spend more time on identifying those diverse workflows and ironing out annoyances that irritate constantly loyal daily users who spend so much time on their platform.
