## What is Simply Fluent?

Read your first real book in another language.

You know the basics but fluency still feels far away. You open a book in the language you're learning and give up after the first paragraph because every other word stops you.

Simply Fluent was built to solve exactly this.

Here's what your first month looks like:

Week 1
You'll translate a lot. This is normal. Every word you save now makes next week easier.

Week 2
Those words you saved? They show up highlighted everywhere, in every book. You stop translating them. Reading gets noticeably easier with every page.

Week 3-4
You're not studying anymore. You're just reading. And you're enjoying it.

That's the moment language learning stops being a chore and becomes something you want to do.

Translations that understand context
Tap any word and see what it means in this sentence. Not a list of definitions to guess from. The meaning that fits right here. Idioms, phrases, nuanced meanings, we handle it all.

Your vocabulary travels with you
Save a word once, and it's highlighted everywhere it appears, on every page, in every book. Your personal dictionary makes each new story easier than the last.

Flashcards from your reading
Every saved word becomes a flashcard. No busywork. No generic lists. Just practice with the words you encountered while reading.

Read what you want
Import any EPUB or PDF you own, or browse our library of books and short stories. Read what interests you, in the language you're learning.

Available in 40+ languages
Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and many more. New languages and content added regularly.

Read anywhere, even offline
Download books and read without internet. Your vocabulary keeps building wherever you are.

Listen while you read
Have pages read aloud with adjustable speed and automatic page turning. Every book becomes an audiobook.

Progress without pressure
Track your vocabulary growth: words saved, words practiced, words mastered. Simply Fluent tracks your journey so you can focus on the stories.

Stop studying. Start reading.

### 1/5 — Very deceptive

*2025-10-14*

The promotional materials make it sound like there are tons of actual books available.   There are none, only a handful of generic, boring stories for each level of difficulty.   The stories could have been written by AI.  The app is also pretty buggy. I’m sorry to report this because, when working properly, the translation and flash card functions are very cool.

**Developer response:** Hi, since version 1.8.0 we've started providing modernized public domain books and will be adding more regularly.
