El clavo Chapter 1 · 12%

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.

Tap a word

Spanish, French, English, Japanese and Korean, each with its own dictionary, library and podcasts.

See it in use

From a page to practice

Tap a word in a real book, keep reading, and meet it again later. Twenty seconds, real screens from the app.

How it works

One loop, three steps

The word you looked up while reading is the word you review. Nothing comes from a stranger's list.

Read something real

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.

Tap what you don't know

The offline dictionary resolves the inflected form, shows the meaning and pronunciation, and lets you keep reading.

Meet it again

Saved words turn into flashcards, and anything you get wrong lands in the mistake notebook until it stops being a mistake.

What's inside

Everything the reading habit needs

Every module shares one vocabulary, one progress record and one mistake pool.

Stories and real books

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.

Swipe-based sessions built only from words you actually met while reading.

Grammar and word lessons

One rule or one everyday scene at a time, ending in practice instead of a wall of rules.

Mistake notebook

Every wrong answer from every module lands in one endless review feed.

Podcasts

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.

Speaking practice

Scenario role-plays (ordering coffee, sitting a job interview) where you speak your side of the conversation and get feedback on what you said.

“Una mesa para dos, por favor.” on-device

Journal and pen pals

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.

Start from the alphabet

Kana and Hangul from zero: stroke animations, guided tracing and free writing, then your first real words with the romanization printed underneath.

Quiet by default

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.
