Learn a language by reading stories. Pick any two of 10 languages: one you read and learn, one your translations show up in. Tap a word you don't know and its meaning opens instantly. Hold a sentence and see the whole thing translated. WHICH LANGUAGE DO YOU WANT TO LEARN? English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese or Japanese — whichever you pick, you read stories in it and see the meanings in your own language. Your first language pair is always free. START AT YOUR OWN LEVEL If you are starting out, there are short A1 and A2 stories you can finish in one sitting. Then B1 stories, and from there the classics of world literature. A short vocabulary test at the start tells you where to begin. LEARN WHILE READING Tap any word and its meaning opens. Hearing a word pronounced is always free. Save the words you want to keep; the app brings them back on the day you are about to forget them.
