About this app

Learn a language by reading — real books, at your level.

Osmo Lingo isn't flashcards or streaks. It's the thing that actually works: reading a lot of text you can understand. We give you real books — The Little Prince, Sherlock Holmes, Anna Karenina, Don Quixote — and just enough help to finish them.

Open a book and read. Every line has a translation underneath, so you keep moving even when a sentence is hard. Tap any word or phrase and Osmo doesn't just translate it — it explains why it means what it means: the grammar, the collocation, the idiom a dictionary would never catch. That "why" is how the language actually goes in.

Too hard? Drop the same book to B1 or A2 — the story stays, the language gets simpler. Ready for more? Read it in the original.

• Learn by reading real books, not exercises — a growing public-domain library
• Tap to understand: meaning, grammar, and the why behind every phrase
• Your level, A2 to original — the classic adapts to you
• Spanish, French, German, English, Italian, Portuguese and many more
• Listen in a natural voice; choose accent and speed
• Save the words and phrases you meet, review them when you like
• Bring your own EPUB — it stays private to your account

No streaks to keep. No flashcards to grind. Just books — and the language that comes with them.

Don't learn to read. Read to learn.

What’s new

• The vocabulary test has a cleaner, calmer look — its word tiles and buttons now match the rest of the app.
• German: reflexive verbs now show their “sich” (e.g. sich freuen), so you learn each verb exactly as it's used.
