About The Smart Language

We publish free, interactive language lessons for self-learners and curious minds. Every post is designed to teach you something useful — and let you practice it on the spot.

Languages we cover

Spanish French English German Italian Portuguese Japanese Korean Mandarin

How our lessons work

Each post goes beyond explanation. You will find vocabulary cards, fill-in-the-blank exercises, conjugation tables, grammar breakdowns, and quizzes built right into the page. No flashcard app required — just read, practice, and check your answers as you go.

We also publish video lessons where a short video anchors the topic, and exercises wrap around it so you can immediately apply what you watched.

What we focus on

Grammar that actually makes sense, explained in plain English
Vocabulary you will use in real conversations
Pronunciation guides for sounds your language doesn't have
Cultural context so you know when and why to say things
Common mistakes learners make (and how to fix them)

Stay in the loop
