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
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. Biblingo truly feels like it's limitless. I'm just addicted!"^4 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. One reviewer wrote, "Even though I suffer from dyslexia, Biblingo has helped me internalize the Greek,"^4 while another shared, "What I can do on Biblingo now in 15 minutes would have taken me hours before."^4 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."^5 Biblingo is also used in academic settings — Richard Olds of St. Constantine College noted it helped him "create a classroom where students were excited to come to class and to continue using their Greek knowledge after the course was done."^6
The app also supports Spanish, French, Hindi, and Indonesian interfaces, making biblical language learning accessible to the global church — not just English speakers.^4
