Methodology

We analysed anonymous usage events in the learning area of langula.app from 11 Jul 2026 to 7 Oct 2026: 11,166 completed lessons and 94,054 views.

We count lessons and views, not people. Without an account we cannot tell whether two lessons come from the same person; repeating a lesson counts again.

The data comes from people who use Langula and is not representative of the population. No names, IP addresses, locations or device identifiers are stored. Only aggregated figures are published; groups with fewer than 20 events are not shown. Figures are updated hourly.
