## What is Readling?

Readling — learn Russian by reading books

  Ease into Russian one page at a time.
  Readling offers two ways to read: books where Russian phrases are gently woven into the English text, or parallel reading with the original and translation side by side.
  You choose the mode and how much Russian you want to see.

  No cramming. You simply read — and step by step you start to understand Russian in context.

  How it works
  • Pick a book and a reading mode.
  • In immersion mode, Russian phrases are blended into the English text — you read as usual, but every page brings a little more Russian.
  • In parallel mode, the original and the translation sit side by side — perfect for comparing and unpacking unfamiliar structures.
  • Tap any word you don't know to see its translation instantly.
  • Every translated phrase is saved to your personal dictionary and ready to review with flashcards.

  Chat with book characters
  • Practice Russian for real — message the heroes of your favorite books.
  • Each character replies in their own voice, and the app gently corrects you when you slip up and shows you how to say it right.
  • Pick your partner's level — from simple phrases to free-flowing speech.
  • Real conversation practice without the fear of making mistakes — you learn by talking, not by memorizing.
  
  Practice to learn new words
  • Flashcards — review your saved words and phrases
  • Sentence builder — assemble phrases like a puzzle to train grammar
  • Fill in the word — restore the missing word in a sentence from a book
  • Listening — rebuild a sentence by ear
  • Training of the day — a fresh set of tasks every day
  • Three difficulty levels — tune it to your level
  
  Features
  • A catalog of books in Russian with levels from A1 to C2 — with search and sorting
  • Can't find the book you want? Request it right in the app
  • Audio for words, phrases and whole paragraphs — hear the correct pronunciation at the speed you choose
  • Daily streaks — read or practice every day and earn free days of Premium
  • Reading settings: font, text size, line spacing, brightness, dark theme
  • Personal libraries — collect books by interest
  • Upload your own books — read any EPUB, with tap-to-translate working even offline
  • Invite a friend — 7 days of Premium for each of you

  Readling is for anyone who wants to
  • Start learning Russian — even from scratch
  • Grow vocabulary naturally
  • Learn Russian without boring drills
  • Combine a love of reading with learning a new language

  Open a book — and Russian becomes part of your reading.

### 1/5 — Lots of missing things

*2026-07-21*

I’m trying to learn Russian as a English speaker.
When I go read a book on this app, it’s all English instead of Russian. When it says I can tap translate it, it doesn’t work and nothing happens. I’ve tried to go to the books settings, but I couldn’t find anything that says “parallel mode” or “immersion mode”. The training section is missing the category called “grammar” and the options below it.

**Developer response:** Hello, the books you opened are not configured for Parallel Mode. They are configured for Immersion Mode (hybrid reading).

In Immersion Mode, you start reading entirely in English. As you progress through the book, Russian words are gradually introduced. The percentage of Russian words matches your reading progress—for example, 0% at the beginning, 50% halfway through the book, and 100% at the end.

If you want to read in Parallel Mode, please choose a book that is marked Parallel • RU–EN (under title and author) or use the filter to display only books available in Parallel Mode.

The grammar is indeed missing for Russian (it's in development). Currently, it only exists for English.
