Learn by reading something you want to finish. Lengua Lizard brings Spanish and English stories together with spoken narration, nearby translations and phrase-level help.
READ IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
Practice Spanish with English help, or English with Spanish help. Choose beginner stories, illustrated stories and more demanding literary reading. Reading-level labels help you choose a comfortable starting point.
FOLLOW THE MEANING
See the original text and its translation together. During narration, the spoken word is highlighted and the matching meaning is highlighted in both languages. Tap a word for help in context while keeping the whole phrase in view.
LISTEN AT YOUR PACE
Slow down narration, pause, replay and return to your place. Illustrations and optional instrumental music help set the scene. Turn images or music off whenever you prefer a quieter page.
A WORLD BETWEEN THE LINES
Pick how the app looks. The Sketchbook is a living, hand-drawn world: Pico the lizard catches words like fireflies, every word you keep grows in his greenhouse, and his windmill turns as you read. Sprout is a bright, simple learning path. Classic is calm and quiet.
A LITTLE PLAY BETWEEN PAGES
Try five-second language mini-games with short spoken instructions. Practice a little, laugh a little, then return to your book.
READ OFFLINE
Download reading packs before you go. Your reading progress, saved words and notes stay on your device. No account, no ads.
FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL SUPPORTER EDITION
The library, the first three chapters of Marianela and all reading tools are free. The optional one-time Supporter Edition unlocks the complete Marianela, all 22 narrated and illustrated chapters, and adds a supporter badge and color accents. Founding supporters, everyone who buys before we offer a subscription, also get most premium books we add later at no extra cost. It is not a subscription.
Lengua Lizard is a reading companion for learners, not a promise of instant fluency. Literary originals can be challenging even with bilingual help.
