Languages and devices
LingoReader supports English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian and Polish. It runs in a browser on a computer, tablet or phone. You can adjust fonts, spacing, themes, and scrolling or paged reading.
The collection includes classics and original stories with approximate editorial levels. A story’s level is its writing target; a classic’s range is guidance for that edition. These labels are not certified CEFR assessments.
Get help without leaving the story
Tap an unfamiliar word for a definition and translation. Select a sentence for translation or explanation. AI assistance can make mistakes, especially with idioms or ambiguous passages: compare the answer with the surrounding text.
Downloaded books and saved articles can be read offline. New AI lookups, translations, vocabulary checks and preparation require an internet connection. Previously saved learning content remains available when it is stored on your device. Prepare for offline reading.
Online AI assistance uses your weekly credits. Reading itself stays available when your allowance runs out.
Find reading that fits your vocabulary
Reading fit estimates how familiar a book or article’s vocabulary may be for you, using your language profile and reading and study activity. An optional vocabulary check lets you answer Known, Unsure or Unknown for selected words and refine the estimate. You can start reading before doing a check.
Illustrative example
Two readers, the same mystery
Imagine a short mystery marked Manageable for you. You can follow the action, but stop at several unfamiliar expressions. A more experienced reader might see Comfortable for that same text.
Try a few paragraphs first. If the pauses feel distracting, choose an easier story or use a vocabulary check. If a familiar word is treated as unfamiliar, choose Known; if you want to practise it, choose Learning. Your explicit vocabulary choices take priority over automatic estimates.
These are fictional readers and example labels, not measured results for a published book. A fit estimate does not guarantee comprehension: subject knowledge, grammar, style and the help you use also matter.
Read a short sample and adjust your choice based on how it feels. An unavailable or unfinished fit check never needs to stop you reading.
Build vocabulary from your own reading
Save useful words and phrases as flashcards, including the sentence where you met them. Review them with built-in spaced repetition in LingoReader, or export cards to Anki or a spreadsheet.
Optional chapter warm-up previews and practises words before a chapter. You can skip it and read immediately. Warm-up and optional practice do not reschedule your existing reviews; scheduled reviews remain a separate activity.
