What it costs. A year costs $48 ($4 a month); month to month is $6.
What's free. A free account with unlimited single-word translations, 10 phrase translations and 10 AI explanations a day, and flashcards.

How a Readlang lesson works
- What you do
- Open an article, an e-book or any web page in the language and read it; click a word or a phrase for its translation and an explanation of how it is used there, then practise the words you looked up as flashcards, the most useful first.
- What comes back
- Automatic: its flashcards check whether you remember the words you looked up, and its AI chat partner corrects what you write. No person checks your work.
- Not included
- A live teacher or stated CEFR levels.

| What it is | Immersion (video, audio, reading). A reading tool for texts you choose: click any word or phrase on a web page (through its Chrome extension or bookmarklet), in an article from its library or in a text, e-book or subtitled video you upload, and see a translation and an AI explanation of it in context. Every word you look up is saved, and Readlang picks the most useful ones by word frequency for flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule; they can also go to Anki. An AI chat partner, Ami, corrects what you write. It has no lessons or course of its own. |
