LingQ tracks all of your learning so you can check up on your progress anytime.
Your statistics show the progress you are making. Just keep creating LingQs, increasing the status of LingQs, and marking words as Known. Your statistics will grow, and your real-life results will follow!
All language learning activity you do on LingQ is automatically tracked. So you get some valuable statistics on how you are learning and improving, which can help you stay motivated!
Known Words
It is the primary metric used on LingQ to measure your progress. How many known words are needed to reach the next level varies from language to language. Of course, if you're just getting started with LingQ, this number will be 0, even if you already have a base in the language. As you do more lessons, this number will increase. It represents how many words in the language you know.
LingQs
These are the words you are learning. Words you see in a lesson but don't understand, so you look up and save their meanings. You will learn these words over time. The more LingQs you create, the more you expose yourself to new words to improve your base in the language.
LingQs Learned
These are words that you saved as LingQs and later became Known Words.
Words of Reading
Reading is a key activity that you have direct control over. It is the best way to expose yourself and learn thousands and thousands of words. Your volume of reading is a key driver of your progress.
How do you maintain your Streak?
Your streak represents how many consecutive days you've hit your Daily Goal in Coins earned. This is the number shown next to the fire icon at the top of the Library page. If you miss your Streak, you can use coins to repair your streak. But try to hit your Streak every day to make consistent progress!
Hours of Listening
Listening is super important to learning a language and something that most learners don't do enough of. Like reading, listening is something you have direct control over. The more you listen, the quicker you will achieve a sense of comfort and fluency in the language.
