Una tarde de otoño, el viajero llegó al pueblo sin nombre.
No había nadie en la plaza. Las ventanas estaban cerradas, y el viento movía un clavo suelto en la puerta de la iglesia.

How it works
The word you looked up while reading is the word you review. Nothing comes from a stranger's list.
A graded story or a chapter of a public-domain novel, in the language you're learning, at a level you can actually get through.
The offline dictionary resolves the inflected form, shows the meaning and pronunciation, and lets you keep reading.
Saved words turn into flashcards, and anything you get wrong lands in the mistake notebook until it stops being a mistake.
What's inside
Every module shares one vocabulary, one progress record and one mistake pool.
Graded short stories with IPA pronunciation and furigana for Japanese, plus a library of public-domain novels you read inside the app with the same tap-to-look-up flow. Stuck on a sentence? Select it and ask.
Downloadable packs that need no connection, resolve inflected forms, show where a word comes from, and put a new word on your lock screen every hour.
Swipe-based sessions built only from words you actually met while reading.
One rule or one everyday scene at a time, ending in practice instead of a wall of rules.
Every wrong answer from every module lands in one endless review feed.
Short episodes recorded in regional voices, with a synced transcript you can tap like any text. Each one ends with gap-fills and dictation taken from what you just heard.
DELF, DELE and IELTS Academic tracks with practice and full mock modes. Written and spoken tasks get evaluated and scored against the real criteria.
Scenario role-plays (ordering coffee, sitting a job interview) where you speak your side of the conversation and get feedback on what you said.
Answer the question of the day in your journal and see your mistakes marked, or write letters to a pen pal who takes a day or two to reply, just like a real one.
Kana and Hangul from zero: stroke animations, guided tracing and free writing, then your first real words with the romanization printed underneath.
No name, no email, no ads, no tracking SDKs. Speech recognition runs on your device and the audio never leaves it. Journal entries stay on your phone too.
Ten minutes of reading beats an hour of flashcards you'll never see again.
