Learn Languages Through Stories

A reading-first language learning app for iPhone

Story Languages is built for people who want to learn a language by reading instead of bouncing between disconnected exercises. You read short stories, tap unfamiliar words, save useful vocabulary, and come back to those words later with spaced repetition.

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

Why Story Languages is different

Learn in context

Stories expose you to useful words and sentence patterns where they actually belong, which makes recall easier than memorizing isolated vocabulary lists.

Review what you really read

Saved words become flashcards, so your study queue is built from real reading instead of generic sample content.

Get help without breaking focus

Instant translations, text-to-speech, and an AI tutor keep you moving through the story instead of opening extra tabs and tools.

How Story Languages works

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

Story Reading

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.

Flashcards

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.

AI Tutor

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.

Conjugations

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.

Design

Zero distractions, pure focus

A distraction-free reading experience with no ads, no clutter. Smooth dark and light themes, full RTL support, and a vintage aesthetic that makes learning feel premium.

Progress

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.
