About breve - learn languages
breve helps you learn a language the way you actually enjoy spending time: by watching short videos. Instead of flashcards and endless drills, breve gives you a feed of real short videos in the language you're learning. Tap any word in the subtitles to see what it means, and breve remembers it. Words move from new, to learning, to known as you go, and your feed adapts to show you videos at the right level for you. It's built on a simple idea: you learn a language fastest by understanding real content you care about, not artificial sentences. So you watch things worth watching, and the learning happens along the way. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH BREVE • Learn from a feed of real short videos, not staged lessons • Tap any word to instantly see its meaning • Watch your vocabulary grow as words move from new to known • Get videos matched to your level, so content is challenging but understandable • Keep a daily streak and stay motivated as you build a habit LANGUAGES breve currently supports Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Dutch, with more on the way. WHO IT'S FOR Whether you're a beginner building your first words or an intermediate learner who wants real, native content, breve meets you where you are and grows with you. Start learning from videos you'd watch anyway. Download breve and see how much you already understand. Terms of Use: https://www.brevelang.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.brevelang.com/privacy
What’s new
Version 0.0.12 · Updated September 17, 2026
A new look breve has been redesigned from the ground up. Warmer colors, calmer type, and a clearer sense of where you are on every screen. Learn the app by using it First run is now an interactive tutorial on the real feed: you tap a real word, open a real study card, and swipe a real clip. The welcome screens show the product rather than describing it — a live caption you can tap, and a word climbing from new, to learning, to known. Swipe anywhere You can now swipe over the video itself to move between clips, not just on the caption. Tap the video to close a word panel. Pick up where you left off "Continue watching" reopens the clip you left, instead of starting the feed over. A quick review as you swipe When you move to the next clip, breve asks about the words you saw but never tapped — mark them known, or skip them, in one go. Adjustable in Settings. My words A new page listing every word you've marked, searchable and filterable, each with the meaning you learned it by. Re-mark anything from there. See where you stand Home shows a proficiency bar for each language you study, based on the words you know. Per-language settings Auto-pause and playback speed are remembered separately for each language, and auto-pause now starts switched on for a language you add. A better feed Clips where you already know every word no longer appear, name-heavy clips are filtered out, and the timing that decides when a word comes round again has been fixed. Chinese Noticeably more accurate word meanings, and pinyin that matches the meaning shown with it. A new Breakdown explanation replaces Grammar, and any word can be opened in Pleco. Fixes Word taps animate smoothly. Captions no longer shift when a word changes state. Every page scrolls properly on smaller screens. On iOS, captions no longer flicker when you swipe while paused. And AI Explain no longer opens by telling you what a phrase isn't.
