Apakabar.fm vs LingueLibrary

Learn languages by reading and listening to real texts. Apakabar.fm brings you short, engaging texts, fully voiced with professional audio. Read in the original, see the translation, or switch to bilingual view with one tap. WHAT MAKES APAKABAR.FM DIFFERENT: Eleven languages from English: Latin, Bengali and Egyptian Arabic, next to Polish, Serbian, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Russian. If you have been looking for a Latin learning app that gives you actual Latin to read, or for a way to learn Egyptian Arabic rather than Modern Standard, this is built for exactly that. Real comprehensible input, not gamified drills: Every text is about something real: a city, a custom, a dish, a piece of history. No XP points. No hearts. No artificial streaks. Just genuine reading that builds your language naturally. BILINGUAL BOOKS, ONLY SHORTER: Side by side reading works the same way here as in a parallel text edition, with the original and the translation one tap apart. The difference is that a text takes a few minutes, every one of them is narrated, and each one comes in an easy, a medium and a hard version. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Pick the language you want to read and the language you already speak 2. Where the pair has word tests, check the words of the text first 3. Read a text of a few minutes, in the original, in translation, or both at once 4. Listen to the professional narration recorded for it 5. In those pairs, every word you meet carries a knowledge level, so you see what still needs work 6. New texts keep arriving, a steady flow of fresh reading Some language pairs carry more than the text and its audio: grammar cards where the pair has them, and, for Serbian, a map that ties the texts to the places they describe. No social pressure. Just reading. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
