breve helps you learn a language the way you actually enjoy spending time: by watching short videos. Instead of flashcards and endless drills, breve gives you a feed of real short videos in the language you're learning. Tap any word in the subtitles to see what it means, and breve remembers it. Words move from new, to learning, to known as you go, and your feed adapts to show you videos at the right level for you. It's built on a simple idea: you learn a language fastest by understanding real content you care about, not artificial sentences. So you watch things worth watching, and the learning happens along the way. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH BREVE • Learn from a feed of real short videos, not staged lessons • Tap any word to instantly see its meaning • Watch your vocabulary grow as words move from new to known • Get videos matched to your level, so content is challenging but understandable • Keep a daily streak and stay motivated as you build a habit LANGUAGES breve currently supports Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Dutch, with more on the way. WHO IT'S FOR Whether you're a beginner building your first words or an intermediate learner who wants real, native content, breve meets you where you are and grows with you. Start learning from videos you'd watch anyway. Download breve and see how much you already understand. Terms of Use: https://www.brevelang.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.brevelang.com/privacy

Swipe anywhere You can now swipe over the video itself to move between clips, not just on the caption. Tap the video to close a word panel. Pick up where you left off "Continue watching" on Home reopens the clip you left, instead of starting the feed over. A quick review as you swipe When you move to the next clip, breve asks about the words you saw but never tapped — mark them known, or skip them, in one go. You can change or turn this off in Settings. See where you stand Home now shows a proficiency bar for each language you study, from Getting started up to Advanced 2, based on the words you know. Per-language playback Auto-pause and playback speed are now remembered separately for each language you're learning. A better feed Clips where you already know every word no longer appear, name-heavy clips are filtered out more aggressively, and the timing that decides when a word is due to come round again has been fixed. Chinese More accurate word meanings, and pinyin readings that match the meaning shown above them. Fixes Every page scrolls properly on smaller screens, back links and safe-area spacing are corrected, and AI Explain no longer opens by telling you what a phrase isn't.
