Beelinguapp works under two concepts called "Side by Side Reading" and "Karaoke Reading". "Side by Side Reading" shows users a text on a separate screen in two languages ​​side by side, the idea being that users read the text in a practiced language but can always use their native language as a reference. "Karaoke Reading" means the audio will play when the user is reading and karaoke-style animation will be displayed in the language of learning and reference.

History
Creator Beelinguapp, David Montiel, born in Mexico and located in Berlin, Germany, has difficulty reading texts and listening to audio books in German. When confronted with a word he still does not know, he realizes that there are too many problems to search for it in the dictionary and find out which definitions fit better in the text. This is how the idea of ​​text in two languages ​​is simultaneously born. One year after its conception, in September 2016, Beelinguapp performed live.
