About ReadNative: Learn by Reading
Learn a language by reading stories you can actually finish. ReadNative is a graded-reader app. Every book is a retelling of a classic, a folk tale or a legend, written to start at A1 (HSK 1 for Chinese) and build toward B1, so the language gets harder at the same pace you improve. Read chapter by chapter, at your own speed. 20 LANGUAGES Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Persian, Thai, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Serbian, Greek and Hebrew. Every language has its own library and its own reading path. TAP ANY WORD Stuck on a word? Tap it and see its meaning in the context of that sentence, not a dictionary list of ten options. Languages with non-Latin scripts show romanization, so you can read Hebrew, Persian, Thai, Armenian or Georgian from day one. Tap a whole sentence to see a full translation when you need it. REMEMBER WHAT YOU LOOK UP Words you look up are saved. Review them with spaced repetition (SRS), and watch your known-word count grow as you meet words again without needing a lookup. START FREE The first book in every language is free, with no time limit. ReadNative Pro unlocks the full library, with more books being added in every language, and lets you import your own EPUB books to read with the same tap-to-translate tools. GOOD TO KNOW - Translations and explanations are in English. - Read-along narration is available for the Chinese books (and one Georgian book). Most books are text only. - Offline reading is supported, so a book works on a plane or a train. WHY READING? Short stories give you the same words again and again in new situations, which is how vocabulary sticks. A graded reader keeps the text at a level where you understand most of it, so you read for the story instead of fighting every sentence. Pick a language, open the free book, and read the first chapter today.
