Level up your language skills, one story at a time.
Already know the basics of a language but get stuck when reading real books? This app helps you bridge the gap from semi-fluent to fluent without constantly reaching for a dictionary.
Choose from a growing library of books in your target language, and read comfortably with simplified versions of challenging paragraphs just a tap away.
Key features and how it works:
โขโ โ Tackle any paragraph in a book by clicking on it, and instantly switch to a simpler version. Select from multiple "levels" to match your comfort zone. The original text is always visible first, honoring the authorโs style and helping you develop the skills to one day read without aid.
โขโ โ Proprietary scoring of paragraph difficulty. Instead of guesswork or AI, we use a carefully engineered algorithm to rank the complexity of each paragraph. This ensures you always see truly simpler text when you need it.
โขโ โ Chapter-focused vocabulary. For every chapter of each book, we have created a vocabulary list. This way, before you start reading a new chapter or a new book, you can practise these words so going through the original texts will become easier. No more randomly learning words that you will not use.
โขโ โ Spaced repetition for words. To facilitate better learning, words you have learned are managed with a spaced-repetition system (SRS). Youโll review new words just in timeโnever forgetting them as you progress.
Who is this app for?
โขโ โ Intermediate learners. If you grasp the basics of a language, but find native texts just too difficult and find yourself looking up to many words while reading, LanguageLeveler is your bridge to reading success!
Supported Languages:
โขโ โ Dutch, English, Italian (More to come!)

LanguageLeveler's answer
LanguageLeveler is designed for people who already read a little in their target language, but still find native level texts too difficult.
Think of learners who:
Sit in the โintermediate to advancedโ range (CEFR ~ B1โC1). You've finished the basic grammar courses and can follow a story, but you quit when the vocabulary level goes up or long sentences appear. Prefer learning through authentic books or stories, not through isolated drills, yet you want a safety net (paragraph simplification, chapter-specific word decks, and spaced-repetition reviews). Enjoy reading for pleasure and growth. Whether you're a native speaker polishing your skills, a polyglot tackling your third language, or a book-lover who hates stopping to pull out a dictionary, LanguageLeveler keeps you turning pages while steadily raising your proficiency. If you're still wrestling with basic conjugations, an app or platform focused on beginners would be a better option.
When you're ready to cross the bridge between intermediate and advanced level, LanguageLeveler is your next step!

Give https://busuu.com/ a go, I think it does a much better way of explaining words and grammar than Duolingo. Good luck! Source: almost 3 years ago
When I was starting out I used a subscription to Busuu and thought it was pretty good. They had listening exercises, vocab exercises, grammar/conjugation, and test exams. There's also a community feature where native speakers can correct some of the exercises you do (and vice versa). Source: almost 3 years ago
I have been studying French for a few years (I still don't feel I would be very beneficial to you unfortunately, however) and a good place to look for language partners that I have found is busuu.com . A big section of it is connection to others learning your native language that speak your learning language. Just fyi if you want that info. (: Good luck!! Source: about 3 years ago
Then I've tried Busuu premium, which is considerably better than Duolingo - at the very least tries to teach you grammar, and the video contents are really well produced. For an absolute beginner it is great! Source: about 3 years ago
I learn english at busuu.com. One of my lessons contain phrase "i had dinner" and also "i had pizza". I am confused. Dinner and pizza it is countable nouns. Should I use "a" article? Source: over 3 years ago
