Already know the basics of a language but get stuck when reading books or texts? This app helps you bridge the gap from semi-fluent to fluent without constantly reaching for a dictionary. ## WHY LANGUAGELEVELER Most language apps are targeted towards beginners. Intermediate learners still struggle with reading without constantly looking up words. LanguageLeveler closes that gap by letting you read authentic books, simplify any paragraph, and master the vocabulary with flashcards and spaced repetition. ## KEY FEATURES - Tap to simplify – Click any paragraph and switch to an easier version that matches your level. - CEFR difficulty score – Our custom CEFR algorithm labels every paragraph so the simplifications are guaranteed to be easier. - Chapter-specific vocabulary lists – Each chapter has it's own word list so you can study the words you will actually see in that chapter. - Spaced-repetition flashcards – Words move from weak to medium to strong with an SRS system that reminds you just in time. - Progress tracking – See how many words, books and flashcards you have finished and keep your reading streak alive. - Create custom wordlists based on words you encounter while reading! ## HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a book or story in your target language (the language you want to improve in). 2. Read the original text. Tap any tricky paragraph to see a simpler version if needed. 3. Optionally, review the chapter vocabulary list before you start reading the chapter for a bigger chance of understanding that chapter when reading. 4. Train words with flashcards powered by spaced repetition. 5. Repeat tomorrow and watch your reading comprehension grow! ## WHO IT IS FOR - Intermediate readers who know the basics but stumble on native level reading. - Busy learners who prefer story-driven language learning over endless drills. - Students preparing for exams that demand reading comprehension. - Polyglots who love collecting new languages through books and stories. ## BENEFITS YOU WILL FEEL - Faster reading comprehension in English, Dutch, Spanish and Italian. - Bigger vocabulary thanks to targeted flashcards and spaced repetition. - True language fluency built by reading complete stories, not isolated sentences. ## SUPPORTED LANGUAGES English • Dutch • Italian • Spanish More languages and more books are coming soon. ## PERMISSIONS AND PURCHASES - The app needs network access to sync your flashcards and reading progress. - Optional in-app purchase unlocks unlimited books and advanced vocabulary statistics. ## CONTACT US Email: info@languageleveler.com Website: www.languageleveler.com Follow us: • TikTok: @LanguageLeveler • Instagram: @languageleveler • Twitter: @languageleveler • Facebook: www.facebook.com/languageleveler • LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/languageleveler • Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/LanguageLeveler/ We reply to every message within 24 hours. ## START TODAY Download LanguageLeveler now and level up your language skills one story, one paragraph, and one flashcard at a time.
