How it works

Reading is the method.

No drills, no streak guilt, no cartoon owl. You read real stories, and the app quietly removes everything that used to make that hard.

01

Tap any word

An instant gloss with romanization for every script — no dictionary detour, no losing your place in the story.

هذه بلاد الهند.بلاد · bilaad — the land of
02

Tap a sentence

See the full translation only when you want it. Understanding stays a choice, not a crutch.

هذه بلاد الهند.“This is the land of India.”
03

Watch your words add up

Every word you meet is counted. Once you've read it three times without tapping, it's yours — an honest “words known” number that grows chapter by chapter.

هذه بلاد الهند.✓ بلاد — known after 3 encounters

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is the Arabic course suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. The first reader uses short A1 sentences, and every word translates with a tap.

Is Arabic available now?

Yes — the Arabic graded reader is live in the app, and the first book is free.

Is it free?

The first book in every language is completely free — no account, no card. A Pro subscription later unlocks the rest of each library.

How is this different from flashcards?

Flashcards teach words in isolation; stories teach them in context, with grammar and collocations attached. ReadNative tracks your vocabulary automatically while you read, so you get the measurable progress of an SRS without the grind. And if you love Anki, every book exports a ready-made deck.

Also on ReadNative

One subscription, every language.

Every language gets the same treatment: a graded ladder of real books, tap-to-translate, audio narration and vocabulary tracking.
