Learn Italian by reading books you love.
StoryFluent takes a book you'd read anyway and gradually weaves Italian into it, one word at a time. No drills, no flashcards, no invented dialogues. Just a story you're already hooked on, teaching you Italian as you go.
Alice grew rather stanca of sitting by her sorella on the riverbank, when a white coniglio came hurrying by.
How you'll learn Italian
Three steps, and the first two are things you already know how to do.
Pick a book
Bring your own EPUB, PDF or text file, or choose from more than 3,800 classics and short stories in the Store. Any book you'd enjoy reading in English works.
Read as you normally would
StoryFluent swaps a few of the most common Italian words into the text. Hold the page to see what one means, then keep reading. The mix grows as you get comfortable.
Make it stick
Words you meet flow into quick review sessions, word games and handwriting practice, so your Italian vocabulary stays with you long after the last chapter.
Italian that agrees with the sentence
StoryFluent doesn't just drop in dictionary words. Verbs are conjugated to match who's speaking, and adjectives take the right gender, so when the story says she was tired, you'll see stanca, not stanco. Accented vowels get their own practice on the chalkboard.
Everything else you get
The reading is the core. The rest is built around it.
Tap any word, in any language
Double-tap any word, not only the swapped ones, and its dictionary entry opens on the page. Every meaning, how it sounds, and how the word changes.
Hear it in both languages
The book read aloud in your language, with every swapped word spoken in the one you're learning. The page keeps pace with the audio.
The news, in your new language
Full stories and headlines from around the world, in your own language with the same gentle word swaps. Fresh every morning.
Practice built from your books
Supplement your learning with word games and writing exercises. Seven games built from your own reading, each with ten levels, plus a chalkboard that teaches every script from Hangul to kanji to Arabic.
Reasons to come back tomorrow
A streak worth protecting, levels to climb, and badges that only move when you actually read.
Yours, offline, no subscription required
Your books and your reading stay on your phone, and everything keeps working with no signal once a book is downloaded. An account is optional, and so is paying.
