For students paying for classes they don't have time to study for

Walk into your next class knowing every word — without opening a study app.

pinguingo scans the vocabulary from your class handouts, slides, and lessons — then drips them into WhatsApp or Discord between meetings, on your commute, in line for coffee. Reply ‘easy’ or ‘hard’. Skip a day, skip a week. The words wait.

$9/mo — first month free. Reply ‘stop’ before day 30 and you’re never charged.

The honest problem

You don’t need more vocabulary apps. You need to actually learn the words you already paid for.

Your tutor sent the list. Your textbook had the chapter. Your professor’s slides are sitting in a folder you haven’t opened since Tuesday.

The honest truth: you don’t have a learning problem. You have a finding-30-quiet-minutes-after-work-to-study problem. And every gamified mascot trying to drag you back into another app is making it worse.

Meanwhile, you spend two hours a day in WhatsApp and Discord anyway.

Here’s what changes: the words come to you, in the apps you already live in, scanned straight from the materials you already have. A semester later, you walk into class knowing the list. No app earned a streak. You earned a second language.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero friction.

Set up once and start your language learning journey

01

Pick your language

Choose from 10+ languages and set your level. Or paste your tutor’s WhatsApp / your textbook chapter — we read class lists in any language we support.

02

Connect WhatsApp or Discord

One link. One reply. No new app to install. pinguingo lives as a contact in the messenger you already check 50 times a day.

03

Scan or pick. Then live your life.

Scan a handout, paste a list, or pick a curated deck. pinguingo drips the words during the windows you choose. Reply ‘easy’ or ‘hard’. Words you fumble quietly resurface until they don’t.

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you dont.

WhatsApp & Discord

Words land in the apps you already check 47 times a day*. By month two, your group chat thinks you went to night school.

Custom Intervals

Every hour, every two, three a day, weekdays only — you set the pace. Reply ‘more’ or ‘less’ to retune in seconds.

Reply to Adjust

Reply ‘easy’ or ‘hard’ after each word. pinguingo recalibrates the level using spaced-repetition intervals — minus the cards, the desktop, and the Sunday-night cram.

Custom Word Lists

Upload your tutor’s vocab, your textbook chapter, your travel deck. We treat your list like ours — native-speaker audio, translation, and spaced repetition included.

Quiet Hours

Pick your active windows. pinguingo is dead silent the rest of the day. We never send ‘you missed today’ — because there’s nothing to miss.

Native-Speaker Audio

Every word arrives with a clean audio file recorded by a native speaker. Tap once, hear how it actually sounds — no IPA chart, no YouTube rabbit hole.

Class-to-Chat Scanner

Point your phone at the handout.
We do the rest.

Your tutor’s list, your professor’s slide deck, the menu you photographed in Lisbon. pinguingo reads the page, extracts the vocabulary, translates it, and asks which words to drip into your chat.

1

Point & Scan

One photo. Any text — handouts, slides, textbook pages, signs, screenshots, even your scribbled notes.

2

Pick & Choose

We translate everything in seconds. Tap to keep the words you actually want to learn. Discard the rest.

3

Learn Passively

Words drip into your chat on the schedule you set. Reply easy or hard. By next class, the list isn’t a list anymore — it’s vocabulary you actually use.

FAQ

The questions everyone asks before they hit start.

Because your teacher gives you the words. Pinguingo makes sure they actually stick — without you needing to find quiet study time. Most students who pay for classes already skip the vocab homework. Pinguingo takes the friction out of the homework so the lesson money isn’t half-wasted.
