A news reader for language learners.

Who it’s for

You already know the basics in your target language. You’ve moved past textbook drills but you’re not ready to read a novel yet. Real-world vocabulary, current-events context, sentences in the wild — that’s what LeftLingo is for.

How it works

1. Pick the language you want to read in and the level that matches you. Each story is rewritten at A1 and B1.
2. Tap any sentence to see the same sentence in your reference language alongside it.
3. Tap a word to see its lemma, part of speech, and a contextual gloss. Plus members read without a daily limit and get grammar explanations, quizzes and whole-article audio.
4. Skim if you’re confident; lean on the panel when you’re not. Either way, you finish stories you would have given up on.

Why we built it

Most language apps are spaced-repetition flashcards or scripted dialogues. They work — until you put down the app and pick up a newspaper. We wanted a reading habit that fed itself: every day there’s something new, the difficulty matches what you can handle, and the help is one tap away when you need it.
