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.

autumn, fall
…and 13 more languages, from German to Arabic.
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
Nine modules that share 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.
Downloadable packs that need no connection, resolve inflected forms, and plug into Spotlight search and the home screen widget.
Swipe-based sessions built only from words you actually met while reading.
One idea at a time, ending in practice instead of a wall of rules.
Every wrong answer from every module lands in one endless review feed.
DELF, DELE, Goethe and TÖMER 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.
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 — the audio never leaves it.
Ten minutes of reading beats an hour of flashcards you'll never see again.
