One word, seven languages, side by side.
PolyStep is a vocabulary app for people who love languages. Every time you answer a question, the same word appears in Japanese, English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean and Hindi. Tap any of them to hear it. Compare them, spot the connections, and learn.
POLYGLOT REVEAL
After every answer, see the word in all 7 languages with a pronunciation guide: IPA for English, Spanish and French, pinyin for Chinese, romanization for Korean and Hindi, and hiragana readings for Japanese.
AUDIO FOR EVERY WORD
All 2,500 words have audio in all 7 languages, made with Microsoft Azure AI neural voices (synthesized speech, not human recordings): 17,500 clips in total. Audio for the free 500 words is built into the app and plays instantly, even offline. Audio for the Everyday Life Pack is downloaded once after you buy it (about 86 MB in total, Wi-Fi recommended) and works offline after that. Until the download finishes, your device's built-in voice reads the word aloud.
SPACED REPETITION
Words come back at growing intervals (1, 2, 4, 7 and 16 days), tracked separately for each language you study. Try to recall the answer before the choices appear. Missed a word? It comes back a couple of questions later until you get it right.
