Various studies now suggest that self-directed reading is a particularly effective way to learn foreign languages. By reading interesting texts (definitely not textbooks) that are slightly beyond (but not too much) your current level, you will become fluent before you notice! [1] [2] [3]

By showing you multiple reference points such as definitions, translations, images, pronunciation help, and grammar tips, ReadLearner helps you understand what you read and eliminate the frustration and unlock the joy of learning a foreign language.

ReadLearner is designed to work with any web page on the Internet. You can read the news, Wikipedia pages, blog posts, questions-and-answers forums, articles about your interests and hobbies, or even your favorite novel!
