Most language apps give you sentences about a red apple. Magic Books gives you Alice, Pinocchio and the Brothers Grimm — the actual books, rewritten to the level you can read today, and slowly handed back to you in the original as you improve. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a book. Every chapter is rewritten for your exact level. • Learn ⇄ Flow. Start with your own language woven through the page, and end up reading the real thing. • Tap any word for an instant explanation — meaning, pronunciation, and an example sentence. Then it comes back tomorrow, when you're about to forget it. • Too hard? Too easy? Move the blend a step, mid-chapter. • Call Maya, your tutor, and talk about what you just read. THE LIBRARY 61 books across German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and English — fairy tales, adventure, mystery and classics, all free and public domain. A chapter is a sitting, not a slog: most take five to ten minutes. WHY READING WORKS You already know that reading is how you learned your first language. The problem was never motivation — it was that real books are too hard, and books written for learners are too boring to finish. MagicBooks fixes the first problem so the second one never comes up. SHARED WITH MAGICNEWS Your vocabulary follows you. A word you learn in MagicNews is a word MagicBooks already knows you know, and the other way round. FREE AND PRO Three chapters a day are free, forever. Pro removes the limit, unlocks unlimited level adjustments and Learn ⇄ Flow switching, and opens up tutor calls. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. EULA link: https://magicbooks.edai.uk/privacy
