LingoWonders: Language Reader

Learn Chinese, Japanese, Korean or English words, write them stroke by stroke, and print real practice sheets. LingoWonders is for learners, parents and teachers. Stroke order, voice and writing practice are free. There is no subscription, no ads and no account.

READ — LESSONS FROM YOUR OWN MATERIAL
Photograph a page, paste text, open a web page and LingoWonders makes a lesson. Listen sentence by sentence, tap a word to look it up, record yourself beside the app voice, save words. Stories in Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean are included; they and a daily allowance of your own articles are free.

FOR LEARNERS — FREE
• Stroke-order animation, and a free stroke-by-stroke writing check on screen with a finger or Apple Pencil (Chinese, kana and hangul)
• HSK 3.0 levels 1–3: about 2,200 words in free decks, Simplified and Traditional. Levels 4–6 are in Pro
• Every word shows its reading (pinyin, kana, romanization, US IPA for English), its meaning and a speaker button
• Flashcards, and dictation that reads each word aloud; words you miss come back for review
• Choose the stroke-order standard for each list: China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan or Japanese kanji
• Search by word, reading or meaning — "shui" finds 水

FOR PARENTS — THE WEEKLY SPELLING LOOP
1. Photograph the school word list. Photo lists are free and unlimited, the photo stays with the list, and long sentences and stories stay whole.
2. Your child runs the dictation alone, with your own voice recordings or the app voice. English has US, UK, Australian and Singapore voices and "Spell it aloud".
3. Print a test sheet. Every page is free.
4. Paper Check (beta): photograph the finished test. LingoWonders shows what it read, and you mark each answer. It does not mark for you. 3 checks are free, then Pro.
The This week tab keeps one card per list and shows the next step as one button. Share a list by link, QR code or file, free.

Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. AI features such as Paper Check run on our servers and cost us per use, so they have a fair-use limit that may change over time. Everything else works offline.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads, no account, no subscription. Your words, lists and practice stay on your device, and LingoWonders works offline. The exceptions are Paper Check, reading words from a photo in the cloud, and example sentences: they send the photo or the words to our server and Google's Gemini model, and nothing is stored on our server. Read fetches a web page on your device only when you ask, and nothing from Read is uploaded to our servers. iPhone and iPad, in 12 languages.
