Dinolingo
Dinolingo is an immersion language program for kids ages 2 to 14 with 50 languages and 40,000+ videos, songs, games, books and printable worksheets. One family plan covers up to six children, each with their own profile, language and progress tracking.
What is Dinolingo?
Dinolingo is a language program built for children, made by a company that has been creating kids' language courses since 2010. It teaches through immersion, the way kids pick up their first language, with no English translations. As of October 2026, one family plan includes all 50 languages, from Spanish, French and Latin to Arabic, Korean and Vietnamese.
The hook for kids is dinosaurs. They earn stars and collect dinosaurs as they finish daily quests.
How it works
Each child gets a profile and picks a language. A typical session:
- Watch a short video or sing along with a song.
- Play games and quizzes on the same words.
- Read or listen to a picture book or audiobook.
- Print a worksheet or flashcards for practice away from the screen.
Toddlers start with pictures, songs and single words. Older kids build up to reading, writing and full sentences. Parents can open the dashboard, choose Lesson Plan for a guided sequence and check each child's progress.
Dinolingo works in a web browser and in apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, with progress synced across devices. Select videos can be downloaded for offline viewing.
What it covers
| Format | What it offers |
|---|---|
| Videos and songs | Vocabulary in context, with no translation |
| Games and quizzes | Practice and review |
| Books and audiobooks | Read-along stories for reading skills |
| Printables | Worksheets and flashcards |
| Parent tools | Lesson plans and progress reports |
Topics range from basics like the alphabet and numbers to longer sentences for older kids.
Who it's best for
Dinolingo fits homeschool families with several children, since one price covers up to six kids, each learning their own language. It's also handy for heritage languages that many kids' apps don't offer.
Teens who need a credit-bearing course should look at Homeschool Spanish Academy or Rosetta Stone. If you want a story-driven course with English lesson plans, MUZZY is a close rival.
Pricing at a glance
As of October 2026, the family plan costs $19 a month or $199 a year for up to six children and all 50 languages. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and billing begins unless you cancel. Homeschoolers use the family plan; school plans are separate.
Can a scholarship or ESA pay for it?
It may. Language curriculum is often an allowed expense in ESA programs such as Arizona's ESA, but subscriptions are treated differently from program to program, and each program decides. Save Dinolingo to your wishlist, check scholarships for your state and apply once on Edulist.
How it compares
- MUZZY uses a single animated story with English lesson plans, in seven languages.
- Little Pim is cheaper and simpler: short videos for babies and toddlers.
- Calico Spanish is a Spanish-only K–5 curriculum with daily open-and-go lessons.
