Learn Spanish or French by reading true stories

The stories are written for English speakers, with words that look like English ones, such as internacional, información and misterio. You can follow them from your first day, and you can tap any word to see what it means and where it comes from.

How it works

English took thousands of words from French and Latin, so a large part of Spanish and French is already familiar to you. The stories use those words as much as they can. For the words that are new, the note you get when you tap one explains its origin, which is usually a link to an English word you know.
