What is PandaTwin?
PandaTwin is the world's largest and most comprehensive language platform in the making, with 6,050+ lessons across 11 languages. Each course is an illustrated story that takes you from your first words to fluency (A1 to C2), following hosts you'll get to know. Every lesson is free to open, with reading, listening, speaking, pictures, practice, and video.
Is PandaTwin free?
Yes. Every lesson, quiz, and story is free to open, with no ads and no hearts that stop you from learning. Memberships and one-time gifts pay for what comes next: new lessons, fixes, and the languages we haven't built yet. Members also get extra practice tools, like interactive games and Panda Homework.
How do PandaTwin courses work?
Each course is an illustrated story across six seasons. You follow the hosts through their everyday lives, learning the language with them from first words (A1) to full mastery (C2). Every lesson gives you the story and its grammar in plain words, illustrated scenes, and video lessons with transcripts and translations. You also get a dictionary on every word with audio, flashcards, dialogues with audio, Panda Mic speaking practice, quick checks, fill-ins, and games.
Can I start anywhere?
Yes. Every lesson is open. You can start with the first words, jump in at your current level, or open the lesson a video brought you to. Each course covers A1 to C2, so there's always a next step ready for you.
Are there video lessons?
Yes. Our hosts teach video lessons on their own YouTube channels: Learn Russian with Anya and Ivan, Learn French with Chloé and Léo, Learn Hindi with Priya and Aarav, Learn Japanese with Kaito and Yuna, Learn Spanish with María and Diego, Learn Korean with Min-jun and Seo-yeon, Learn Mandarin Chinese with Wang Wei and Li Na, Learn German with Clara and Oskar, Learn Italian with Matteo and Giulia, Learn English with the Websters. Every video lesson is also here on the site, along with its transcript, translations, and practice.
Who are the hosts?
Each course has its own hosts, like Anya and Ivan in Moscow, or the Webster family in San Jose. You follow their lives across the seasons, and your language grows with them.
Which languages can I learn?
We have 11 languages so far: Russian, French, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and English. Each course is taught by its own hosts and goes all the way from A1 to C2.
Do I need an account?
No. Every lesson is open without an account. If you make a free account, it saves your progress and scores across your devices.
Do I need to download an app?
No. PandaTwin runs in your web browser on any phone, tablet, or computer. There's nothing to install, and a free account keeps your progress saved across your devices.
How far can PandaTwin take me?
All the way to fluency. Each course is a complete curriculum from absolute beginner (A1) to mastery (C2). They're hundreds of lessons deep, made to teach you the whole language instead of a phrasebook.
