Learn a language by reading it
Don’t wait until you’ve learned the language. Open a real book, tap what you don’t understand, and keep reading.
Or read in the browserClassics that were waiting for you
World literature in the original — or adapted to your level while you grow into it.
The book does the teaching
Tap a phrase, get it
Every sentence is split into natural phrases. Tap one — see its translation, grammar, and how people actually use it. Then keep reading.
The book meets your level
Reading at A2 or B1? The text is rewritten for you, keeping the story. Ready for the original? Switch back any time.
Listen and follow
A natural voice reads the page while the current phrase lights up. Ears and eyes learn the same words together.
