About Read & Learn Languages: Contos
Learn a language by binge-reading stories you can't put down. Contos is a library of serialized micro-fiction written for language learners — cosy mysteries, romances, crime and everyday sci-fi, in seventeen languages, written exactly at your level. Every chapter takes about five minutes, ends on a cliffhanger, and quietly teaches you the language you're learning. A WHOLE LIBRARY AT YOUR LEVEL • Hundreds of stories across dozens of series — romance, mystery, crime, sci-fi, comedy and family drama • Written for learners at every level, A1 to B2: you'll understand it from chapter one • New stories land in the library every week • Read stories for free. READ LIKE A NATIVE, LEARN LIKE A READER • Tap any word for an instant translation • Tap a phrase to translate the whole thing in context • Save words and phrases as flashcards with spaced repetition built in PLUS: A STORY WRITTEN JUST FOR YOU, EVERY DAY • Contos writes you a fresh personal story daily — your level, your interests, your pace • Around 75% words you already know, with new vocabulary introduced in context • Rate each story and tomorrow's recalibrates WATCH YOURSELF IMPROVE • Vocabulary milestones: 100, 500, 1,000 words and beyond • Streaks and reading-time achievements keep you showing up • Level up from A1 to B2 by reading, not by drilling SEVENTEEN LANGUAGES Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, English, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin Chinese — with translations in your own language. WHY READING WORKS Languages aren't memorised — they're absorbed. Comprehensible input (reading you mostly understand, with just enough new) is how vocabulary actually sticks. Contos keeps you at that sweet spot chapter after chapter, because you'll always want to know what happens next. CONTOS PREMIUM The first chapters of every series are free. Contos Premium unlocks every chapter of every series, plus your daily personalised story and unlimited flashcards — pay monthly, or save with an annual plan. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase; the subscription renews for the same period (monthly or yearly, depending on your plan) unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings → Subscriptions. Your progress is saved to your account with Sign in with Apple. Terms of Use: https://contosapp.com/terms
