Read stories. Learn languages.
Every chapter adapts to your level. Grammar clicks through context, not drills. Just open a book and start reading in your new language.
Features
Everything a reader needs.
Nothing they don't.
We stripped away the noise of traditional language apps. No gamification gimmicks, no social pressure — just a beautiful reading experience that quietly makes you fluent.
Stories That Adapt to You
Every chapter is rewritten to match your exact reading level. The same book works for a beginner and an advanced reader — the AI handles the rest.
Tap Any Word. Understand Instantly.
Stuck on a word or phrase? Tap it for a clear explanation with grammar context and translation — without ever leaving the page.
Grammar Through Context
No tables to memorize. Grammar patterns are woven into the stories you read, so rules make sense before you even know the rule exists.
Micro Lessons in Minutes
Two-minute lessons distill grammar into clear patterns, common mistakes, and quick practice — designed around what you're currently reading.
Practice Speaking Naturally
Have a conversation about the chapter you just read. Voice and text modes let you practice output in context — not from a script.
Watch Your Progress Grow
Track reading streaks, words mastered, and grammar confidence. Your progress builds quietly in the background while you enjoy the story.

FAQ
Common questions
Lingo Tales currently supports German, English, and Turkish. Each language has stories available across all CEFR levels from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery). We're actively adding more languages.
When you choose a book, our AI adapts the text to match your current reading level. The same story reads differently for an A2 learner versus a B2 learner — simpler sentence structures, adjusted vocabulary, and level-appropriate grammar patterns. As you improve, the text gradually becomes more complex.
An internet connection is needed to load new chapters and use AI features like word explanations and conversation practice. Once a chapter is loaded, you can read it offline.
Lingo Tales offers a free tier with access to select content. A premium subscription unlocks the full library, unlimited AI explanations, conversation practice, and advanced progress tracking. Pricing is shown in the app before you subscribe.
Most language apps teach through isolated exercises and gamification. Lingo Tales teaches through immersive reading — you learn grammar and vocabulary in the context of a real story. Research shows extensive reading is one of the most effective ways to acquire a language naturally.
Lingo Tales is currently available on iPhone. An Android version is on our roadmap. Sign up for updates on our website to be notified when it launches.
