ReadNative: Graded Readers

Learn a language by reading stories you can actually finish.

ReadNative is a graded-reader app. Every book is a retelling of a classic, a folk tale or a legend, written to start at A1 (HSK 1 for Chinese) and build towards B1, so the language gets harder at the same pace you improve.

20 LANGUAGES
Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Persian, Thai, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Serbian, Greek and Hebrew. Each language has its own library and reading path.

TAP ANY WORD
Tap a word to see its meaning in the context of that sentence. Non-Latin scripts show romanisation, so you can read Hebrew, Persian, Thai, Armenian or Georgian from the start. Tap a sentence for a full translation when you need it.

REVISE WHAT YOU LOOK UP
Looked-up words are saved for spaced-repetition (SRS) review, and your known-word count grows as you meet words again without a lookup. Android users can export words to Anki.

START FREE
The first book in every language is free. ReadNative Pro unlocks the whole library (more books are being added in every language) and lets you import your own EPUB books.

GOOD TO KNOW
- Translations and explanations are in English.
- Read-along narration exists for the Chinese books (and one Georgian book); most books are text only.
- Offline reading is supported.
- Also on the web at web.readnative.org.
