Learn a language by reading what you love.
Read real stories, articles and your own texts. Tap any word for an instant meaning, save it as a flashcard, and Poliglo brings it back right before you forget it.
How it works
Read. Tap. Remember.
The most natural way to pick up a language is to read things you actually want to read.
Read something you enjoy
Pick from the library at your level, or import any article, text or photo of a page. Reading you care about is reading you'll keep doing.
Tap the words you don't know
See the meaning in context, hear it spoken, and translate whole sentences when you need to. No dictionary tab, no lost flow.
Review at the right moment
Saved words become flashcards scheduled by spaced repetition. A few minutes a day, and the words you meet stay with you.
Create content
Your content
A story for any topic, at your level.
Ask for a text about your hobby, your job or tomorrow's trip. Poliglo writes it for your level, from one minute up to fifteen, with audio.
- You see the price before you confirm, and never pay more
- Or import your own: paste text, bring an article, scan a page
- Plus a curated library for every level

Poliglo vs. LingQ
More for free. More in Premium.
LingQ is a great way to learn by reading, but its free plan stops after 20 saved words. Poliglo's doesn't.

LingQ details come from LingQ's own free vs. premium page (August 2026); prices and limits change, so check theirs before you decide. "Daily allowance" is a free daily quota of AI lookups and translations on Poliglo. LingQ is a trademark of its owners and isn't affiliated with Poliglo.

FAQ
Questions
Do I need to know some of the language already?
No. The library starts at beginner level and you set your own level. Unknown words are one tap away, so you can start reading from day one.
How is Poliglo different from LingQ?
The idea is similar: learn by reading, tapping words and saving them. The difference is the free plan. Poliglo gives you unlimited saved words and imports, flashcards, stats and challenges for free, and adds an AI tutor and AI-made lessons.
Where can I use Poliglo?
In any modern browser, and on iOS and Android. Your account, words and progress follow you across devices.
What can I import?
Pasted text, articles and photos of pages. Poliglo turns them into readable, tappable content.
How do the coins work?
Coins only pay for content that costs us AI to produce, like the tutor and generated stories. You see the exact price before you confirm, and you're never charged more than quoted. Premium includes coins every month.
Can I cancel Premium?
Yes, any time. You keep Premium until the end of the period you paid for.
