Read full description

Read what you love. Learn a language naturally. Comprehensy helps you improve English, Spanish, German, French or Italian through content you actually care about. Add any article you want to read, and Comprehensy adapts it to your level, helping you learn through comprehensible input and build vocabulary in context without boring textbooks or generic exercises. CHOOSE YOUR LANGUAGE Learn English, Spanish, German, French or Italian, and pick the native language you want translations to come back in. The app itself switches to the language you are learning, so you are immersed in it from the first minute. READ AT YOUR LEVEL Adapt any article to match your level. Comprehensy uses AI to adjust the language and make challenging content more accessible and easier to read. GENERATE AUDIO AND FOLLOW ALONG Turn any article into natural-sounding audio and listen whenever it suits you. You can also read along while the audio plays, with each word highlighted in sync so it is easy to follow the text as you listen. UNDERSTAND WORDS IN CONTEXT Not sure what a word means? Just tap it. Get a clear explanation based on the exact sentence you are reading, written in the language you are learning. If that is still too much, one tap translates the word, its sentence and its explanation into your native language. LEARN ANYWHERE Download articles together with their audio and keep reading and listening offline, whether you are commuting, traveling, or simply away from an internet connection. With Comprehensy, language practice becomes part of your everyday life. Your interests. Your level. Your language journey.
