You want to read the Bible the way its original audience did — not filtered through layers of translation, but directly in the Greek and Hebrew. For most people, that's meant years of seminary classes or grinding through dense grammar textbooks. Biblingo changes that entirely, putting a complete biblical language curriculum in your pocket and making it feel less like homework and more like an adventure.^1
Think of it as Duolingo built specifically for biblical Greek and Hebrew — except far more rigorous. Biblingo's methodology is rooted in modern linguistics and second language acquisition research: lessons introduce vocabulary through images and short videos rather than English translations, grammar is taught through immersive context rather than rote memorization, and graded reading exercises let you practice on stories set in the biblical world before graduating to actual Scripture passages. The curriculum covers four semesters of university-level content across interactive lessons, grammar videos, paradigm drills, a built-in textbook, and a Greek/Hebrew Bible arranged from easiest to hardest.^2
Co-founded by Kevin Grasso, who holds a PhD in Hebrew Bible and degrees in linguistics and comparative religion, Biblingo was born from a frustrating experience on a Bible translation project in Mexico in 2017. Grasso watched a team translate the Old Testament from Spanish into Nahuatl — a translation of a translation — because no one on the team knew Hebrew. He realized the biblical languages needed a modern, accessible learning tool, and started building one.^3 The team has since grown to include Chris Date (Head of Engineering, PhD candidate in OT Biblical Theology), Joseph Justiss (Head of Live Courses, doctorate from Oxford in Hebrew Bible), Austin Curtin (Head of Homeschool), Colton Honeycutt (Head of Community), Isaac Hinchman (Curriculum Development), and Joah Pearson (Head of Marketing) — all passionate about making these languages accessible.
Beyond self-paced lessons, Biblingo's Accelerator plan offers live weekly courses with expert instructors, guided reading practice through real biblical texts, quarterly Q&As with renowned scholars, and access to an active learning community.^4 A formal partnership with Classical Conversations provides dedicated homeschool curriculum and family pricing, with students as young as three using listening and speaking exercises.^5 College credit is available through partner institutions.^6
Why Christians Love Biblingo:
"I've never been able to just sit and read the Greek New Testament. Since signing up for Biblingo, I've actually now been able to read Bible passages almost fluently." — Gabriël Oberholzer^7
"I learned more Greek in a year of Biblingo than I did in 10 years of using traditional resources!" — Biblingo user^1
"Biblingo is being used by a 10-year-old homeschool student and it's working beautifully. Really impressed by how accessible this has made the Greek language for children to learn." — Emily, Homeschool Mom^5
Users across more than 60 countries — from seminary students to stay-at-home parents to retirees — describe Biblingo as the resource that finally made the biblical languages click. B.C. Newton, a pastor and self-taught Greek learner, called it "essentially Duolingo for learning Biblical Greek and Hebrew, except far better than Duolingo and very much worth the paid subscription."^8
The app supports Spanish, French, Hindi, Indonesian, and Portuguese interfaces, making biblical language learning accessible to the global church. Future languages on the roadmap include Latin, Aramaic, Syriac, and Akkadian.^3 The Biblical Languages Podcast, hosted by Kevin Grasso, features conversations with scholars on topics from Greek phonology to Hebrew poetry.^9
