Start reading in three steps
Choose something you want to read, then set the language and ratio. Use your phone or computer browser.
Paste your text
Use your own notes or an article excerpt you can use. Enter up to 10,000 characters at a time.
Choose a language and ratio
Select a language and how much to mix in. Try 20–40% to start, then adjust to what feels comfortable.
Read and switch sentences
Tap to switch between an original sentence and its translation. Open an explanation or listen to the translated sentence when needed.
Read what already interests you
Bring your own short text. A commute, a coffee break or a page from your journal can be a place to start.
Over a cup of coffee
Paste an excerpt about travel, food or another interest. You choose what to bring to the reader.
With your own journal
Try a few sentences about your day. Familiar content gives you room to notice how another language expresses it.
Make room for another language
Mix complete sentences while keeping the original context nearby. Switch a sentence back whenever you want to check it.
Choose how much to mix in
Adjust the ratio from 0–100%, even after conversion. Remix to switch a different set of sentences at the same ratio.
今朝は、少し早く家を出ました。 There is a small café near the station. 窓のそばの席に座りました。 コーヒーを飲みながら、本を開きました。 静かな朝の時間が好きです。
I left home a little early today. There is a small café near the station. 窓のそばの席に座りました。 I opened my book over a cup of coffee. 静かな朝の時間が好きです。
