How Story Languages works

Read, review, and practice — all in one place.

A tapped word in a story, with its translation above it

Tap any word to translate

Read graded stories from beginner to fluent. Tap any word for its translation, hear the pronunciation, and save it to your flashcard deck — all without leaving the page.

Remember words, not just read them

The FSRS algorithm schedules flashcard reviews right before you'd forget. Study, review, and quiz yourself across multiple modes — all optimized for long-term retention.

Ask anything, in any language

Practice conversations, ask grammar questions, and get context-aware explanations from an AI tutor that adapts to your level. It can even quiz you on your saved vocabulary.

Master every verb form

Interactive conjugation tables with stem-change highlighting and tense guides. See every pronoun form at a glance and practice with dedicated flashcard decks.

See your progress grow

Daily streaks, word counts, recall scores, and a progress chart that shows how far you've come. Every story read and card reviewed builds your streak.

A reading-first language learning app

Story Languages, on the App Store as Stories - Language Learning, is built for people who want to learn a language by reading instead of bouncing between disconnected exercises. You read stories at your level, tap unfamiliar words, save useful vocabulary, and come back to those words later with spaced repetition.

The app currently supports Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. Every story can turn into vocabulary review, pronunciation practice, and quick grammar help from the AI tutor.

Read a new script from day one

Japanese stories carry furigana over the kanji, Chinese stories pinyin over every character, beginner Arabic full harakat, and Korean starts with a Hangul deck. Instant translations, text-to-speech, and AI help keep you moving without opening extra tools.
