## What is Mukashi?

Mukashi turns timeless folk tales into the gentlest way to pick up a language. Read a story in one language while every word quietly shows its meaning in another — tap any word to hear it spoken and save it for later.

A NEW WAY TO READ BETWEEN TWO LANGUAGES
Every line shows three layers at once: the original text, an optional pronunciation guide, and a word-by-word meaning — with the full sentence translation right underneath. Nothing is locked behind a quiz. Meaning is always one glance away.

LEARN THE WORDS THAT STICK
Tap any word to open its card: meaning, part of speech, and audio. Save it to "My Words," your personal flashcard deck, and review at your own pace. Because the words come from stories you actually read, they stay with you.

FEATURES
• Trilayer reading — original text, pronunciation, and per-word meaning on every line
• Tap-to-translate — open any word for its meaning and hear it spoken
• Read-aloud — natural text-to-speech in every language
• My Words — save vocabulary and review it with built-in flashcards
• Story Mode — prefer a calmer read? Switch to clean, sentence-by-sentence single-language text
• Original storybook-style illustrations on every page
• Cozy reading themes (Classic, Night, Cream, Forest) and adjustable text size
• Works fully offline — every story is built right in
• Family-friendly — a PIN-protected parent area and an optional daily reading limit

13 LANGUAGES, ANY PAIR
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Mix any two as your reading pair — learn Spanish from English, Japanese from Korean, or keep a heritage language alive at home.

FOLK TALES FROM AROUND THE WORLD
From Momotaro to the Tortoise and the Hare, Anansi the Spider to the Thirsty Crow — classic stories children have loved for generations, retold simply and beautifully illustrated.

FOR ANYONE READING BETWEEN LANGUAGES
Whether you're raising a bilingual child, keeping a family language alive, or learning a new one yourself, Mukashi meets you at your own pace. No streaks, no pressure — just stories.

Made for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
