How reading turns into speaking
Pick a story at your level
Choose from fiction, dialogues, news, science and history, graded from A1 to C1. Most take under ten minutes.
Tap what you don't know
See the meaning and dictionary form of any word, or reveal the whole sentence when you get stuck. Listen to native audio as you read.
Review, then read the next one
Saved words come back as flashcards and quick games right before you would forget them. Then they start showing up in new stories.
Something worth reading, at every level
Mysteries, conversations at a café, how whales sleep, the latest phone. New stories every week, each one written so you can follow it even when you miss a few words.
