Cantito is a language learning app that teaches foreign languages through real songs, stories, poetry, fables, and folk tales. Instead of artificial textbook sentences, Cantito breaks down authentic works sentence by sentence into rich mini-lessons covering: • Full translation and romanization • Word-by-word breakdown with part of speech • Grammar explanations in context • Etymology and word origins • Conjugation and declension tables • Cultural and literary analysis • Native audio pronunciation LEARN THROUGH GREAT STORIES Start with folk tales and fables, then progress through classic poetry, songs, and stories. Over 1,000 lessons across 19 languages, with new material added regularly. Every piece is carefully broken down so you learn real language as it's actually used. GUIDED LESSONS Follow step-by-step guided lessons that walk you through each sentence, introducing vocabulary and grammar in context before moving on. Perfect for beginners and structured learners. PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE Record yourself speaking and get instant feedback. Cantito uses speech recognition to score your pronunciation by comparing it against the expected text, helping you sound more natural. SHADOWING Practice speaking along with native audio in real time. Shadowing builds fluency, listening comprehension, and natural rhythm by having you speak simultaneously with a native speaker. SPACED REPETITION Cantito uses FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler), a modern algorithm based on memory research, to schedule your reviews at the optimal time. Words and sentences you find difficult come back sooner; ones you know well are spaced further apart. Review both full sentences and individual words. DEEP WORD ANALYSIS Tap any word to see its etymology, related forms, usage notes, example sentences, and full conjugation or declension tables. Understand not just what a word means, but where it comes from and how it changes. EXPORT TO ANKI Cantito Premium users can export their vocabulary to Anki (.apkg) with one tap — complete with audio, example sentences, and context from the lessons you've studied. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See sentences learned, words encountered, sources started, and favorites at a glance. An activity heatmap shows your consistency over time. WORKS OFFLINE Download content for offline study. Your progress syncs automatically when you're back online. LANGUAGES Currently featuring Russian, German, Spanish, French, Swedish, Greek, Portuguese, and Brazilian Portuguese, with preliminary support for Irish, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, Persian, Dutch, Welsh, Japanese, Korean, Latin, and Chinese — with more on the way.
