Plum: Learn English with Books

Learn English by reading books in the original. Plum is an English reading app with word and sentence translations. Tap an unfamiliar word to see its translation above the text, or press and hold a sentence to translate it. Review the words you look up with flashcards.

Read English books and build your vocabulary as extra practice alongside your IELTS, TOEFL or PTE preparation.

READ ENGLISH WITH TRANSLATIONS
• Tap a word: the translation appears above it, in your language
• Press and hold a sentence: get a translation of the whole sentence
• Difficult words are marked in advance
• Listen to the pronunciation of any word
• Word cards show the meaning that fits the context

A LIBRARY OF ENGLISH CLASSICS
Choose novels and stories from the catalog: Sherlock Holmes, Jane Austen, Dracula, Frankenstein, H. G. Wells and more. Filter by genre and by English level, from beginner to advanced.

IMPORT YOUR OWN EBOOKS
Import your own ebooks: EPUB, PDF, FB2, MOBI, TXT and DOCX. Your books get the same word and sentence translations as the catalog.

VOCABULARY PRACTICE WITH FLASHCARDS
Words you look up go into your personal dictionary. Review them with flashcards and spaced repetition, and learn vocabulary from fiction you actually want to read.

READ YOUR WAY
• Light, sepia and dark themes
• Adjustable font, text size and line spacing
• Reading position, dictionary and bookmarks sync across your devices
• Download a whole book and keep reading without internet
