Mukashi: Bilingual Stories

Tap any word to see what it means and hear it spoken — then read on. Illustrated folk tales in 13 languages, with flashcards to remember every new word you save.

Mukashi turns timeless folk tales into the gentlest way to pick up a language. Read a story in one language while every word quietly shows its meaning in another — tap any word to hear it spoken and save it for later.

A NEW WAY TO READ BETWEEN TWO LANGUAGES

Every line shows three layers at once: the original text, an optional pronunciation guide, and a word-by-word meaning — with the full sentence translation right underneath. Nothing is locked behind a quiz. Meaning is always one glance away.

LEARN THE WORDS THAT STICK

Tap any word to open its card: meaning, part of speech, and audio. Save it to "My Words," your personal flashcard deck, and review at your own pace. Because the words come from stories you actually read, they stay with you.
