Newlings: Learn English
Reading practice at six levels
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Listen to any story at your level as each word lights up. Tap a word for its meaning, take a quick quiz and review your words. No account needed. No ads.
Read and listen to real English news at your level, from A1 to C2.
Newlings rewrites new science, technology and art stories every day at six English levels. Switch a story's level with one tap and read it simpler or richer.
Tap any word for a plain English definition, IPA and an example, and listen to the whole story read aloud.
FIND YOUR LEVEL
Take the placement test, at most 15 questions in about five minutes, or pick your level yourself. No account is needed to start.
READ AT YOUR LEVEL
- Word cards show a plain English definition. Turkish speakers can choose Turkish translations in Settings.
- Every story at A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.
- Tap underlined words, phrasal verbs and idioms to see the meaning, IPA and an example from the story. Hear each word at normal or slow speed.
- If a story feels too hard or too easy, mark it at the end of the story.
- Search the stories, share a story's link, or share a word card as a picture.
- Stories you opened today stay available without a connection.
LISTEN
- Your phone's own English voice reads the story at your level, and the word it is saying lights up in the text.
- Go back or forward one sentence at a time, at normal or slow speed. A1 and A2 start slow.
- The player stays at the bottom while you scroll; open it to see the sentence in large type.
TAKE THE QUIZ
Finish a story, then answer five quick questions: true or false, pick the headline, fill the gap, match the words and multiple choice. Quick right answers build a combo for bonus XP; running out of time never makes an answer wrong.
BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY
- Save words from any story.
- Spaced repetition brings each word back at growing intervals, from one day up to 90 days.
- Play with your words: Flashcards, Match, and the Ladder, which climbs a story you have read from A1 to C2.
- In a new story, underlined words you already know are marked as known.
KEEP A DAILY HABIT
- Choose your daily goal: one story, two stories, or two stories and your word review.
- Earn XP and keep your streak; every seven days of your streak earn a streak freeze (you can hold up to two), which protects a missed day.
- Collect badges and see how far you are from the next level.
- Get a reminder at the time you choose, with the day's first story.
- See a level suggestion when your results point to another level. You always decide.
ON iPHONE AND iPAD
On iPad, Newlings has its own layout, with the story list and the story side by side.
HOW STORIES ARE MADE
Newlings stories are rewritten with AI from the facts the original source published, and checked before they are published. Every story names its source and links to the original report, and every cover drawn by AI is labelled. Word cards, dictionary entries and quiz questions are also written with AI.
YOUR DATA
Start without an account. Link your Apple or Google account to keep your progress on another device. Delete your profile and progress in Me > Account at any time. Newlings has no ads and does not track you across other apps.
Word levels use the CEFR-J Vocabulary Profile (Tono Laboratory, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies) and the Octanove Vocabulary Profile C1/C2 (Octanove Labs, CC BY-SA 4.0).
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Turn on notifications in one tap and get the day's new stories every morning at 09:00 on your own clock. Choose another time on hour and minute wheels in Me > Notifications, or turn the daily reminder off there. If you have already opened Newlings that day after the new stories arrived, you get no reminder for them.
The placement test now stops at the first level where you answer two questions wrong.
On iPad, the sidebar that opens over the page shows its labels cleanly.
Also: smaller fixes.
