Great app! I am learning French and have found some old books on project Gutenberg that I was trying to read using Google translate as helper. This app does exactly what I needed. It translates by paragraph and you can listen to the pronunciation at the same time. You can also tap a word to see its meaning. Great tool for people who want to practice their language skills!

Excellent app! I’m giving it 5 stars. It would be incredibly helpful to have an upgrade with content specifically tailored for Goethe-Institut German A1 Exam preparation, including vocabulary, reading practice, and sample questions. Please seriously consider this feature, as it would benefit thousands of students and professionals. Keep up the great work (I am waiting to recharge the application because of this one issue)!

This is not an app for learning grammar. It is for reading. Any reading practices you can import yourself. The app could not contain a copyrighted content like content you have suggested.

For me, this is the language-learning app I've been looking for. You can upload or paste in your own texts, it gives you easy access to translations for both words & entire sentences and it's super quick to save vocab words, there's hands-free narration, tons of customization options, etc.
