About

ReadNative

ReadNative helps you learn a language the way you actually acquire one: by reading stories you can understand. Instead of drilling flashcards in isolation, you read graded books written for your level. Every word is tappable, hold to see an instant translation without losing your place. As you read, ReadNative quietly tracks which words you’ve truly learned, so the difficulty grows with you. WHY READNATIVE • Read real stories, not word lists — comprehensible input is how fluency is actually built. • Tap and hold any word for an instant translation in context. • Your vocabulary is tracked automatically as you read. A word only becomes “known” after you’ve met it enough times on your own. • Georgian is our flagship language, with a growing catalog of graded readers from first-alphabet beginner to advanced. • Read offline. Your progress syncs across your devices when you’re back online. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a book at your level from the catalog. 2. Read. Tap the words you don’t know yet. 3. ReadNative learns what you know and suggests what to read next. Whether you’re sounding out your first alphabet or polishing toward fluency, ReadNative turns reading into the most natural way to learn. Start reading today.
