WordVia: Learn by Reading

New: free classics to download and voice narration. Tap any word for a translation that fits the sentence, listen along, and build vocabulary while you read.

WordVia turns reading into language learning.

Open any book in a foreign language, tap a word to instantly translate it, and build vocabulary in context - without ever leaving the page. No flashcards, no drills, no app-switching. Just real books.

HOW IT WORKS

• Start with a free book from our library, or upload your own (EPUB and PDF supported)
• Tap any word for an instant translation
• See translations inline, in context
• Listen to the book read aloud while you follow along
• Save words to build your personal vocabulary
• Practice your saved words with spaced repetition
• Keep reading without breaking flow

FREE BOOKS TO START WITH A hand-picked collection of public domain classics, sorted by language and difficulty, ready to download right inside the app. No empty shelf on day one - pick a book and start reading in seconds.

READ AND LISTEN Hear the book in the language you are learning. Choose the voice and the speed, follow the text as it is spoken, and stop on any word to see its translation - playback continues from the same place. Reading and listening together is one of the fastest ways to connect the written word to the spoken one.

LEARN A LANGUAGE BY READING WordVia is built around comprehensible input and extensive reading - the methods polyglots and language teachers use to reach real fluency. You don't memorize a language. You experience it, page by page.

Read foreign novels, short stories, news articles, classics, ebooks - anything you can drop into the app. Every book becomes a personal language lesson, calibrated to what you already love reading.
