Beletria

Learn a language by reading real books.

Beletria puts classic literature in German, French and Italian in your pocket and helps you read it, one sentence at a time. No textbook dialogues, no streaks to protect: just stories worth reading, with help whenever you need it.

TAP ANY WORD
See its meaning in context, its dictionary form and a short grammar note. Save the words you want to keep with one tap.

UNDERSTAND EVERY SENTENCE
Show the English translation of the sentence you’re on, or open a plain-language explanation of how it’s built: why the verb sits at the end, what that case ending is doing, which idiom you’ve just met.

LISTEN AS YOU READ
Hear each sentence read aloud, then its translation if you like. Turn on continuous listening and keep going with the screen locked.

BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY
Every word you save lands in My Vocabulary. Practise them with a simple flashcard trainer, mark the ones you know, and see how much of each book you can already read.

BOOKS FOR YOUR LEVEL
Browse the library by language, level (A1–C2) and genre. Each book shows its difficulty, length and Goodreads rating, so you can pick one that fits. Missing a favourite? Request it.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Your place in every book is saved and follows you between your iPhone and the web at app.beletria.com.

TRY IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
Read the opening of any book as a guest. Sign in with Apple or Google when you want to keep going and save words.

FREE, NO ADS
Every book, every word, every sentence. Nothing to unlock and nothing to buy.

Translations and explanations are in English and are generated to help you read; if one looks wrong, tell us with a tap.
