Description
"Learning a language is hard. Studying a foreign language requires hundreds of hours in a time-starved world. Prismatext meets you where you are, and offers an effortless method for learning a language: recreational reading!
Using an innovative method called ""diglot weave,"" Prismatext books blend foreign words and phrases into classic literature for context-based language learning.
At the start of a Prismatext book, you'll be reading in English. Very shortly thereafter, you'll be reading in English and a little bit of your target language. Prismatext will begin replacing words and phrases with their translations—not too many, of course, but enough for you to notice. If you get stuck, give the words a tap to bring up their footnote: you'll find their meaning there, as well as a way to hear those same words spoken.
The more you read, the more new words you'll discover. Prismatext introduces new words incrementally, allowing you to grow your vocabulary gradually. As you go, you may find yourself using the footnotes less and less. You'll be introduced to—and learn—hundreds of new words and phrases. By the end of the book, you may not even need the footnotes. And if you do, that's fine. Every great journey needs footnotes.

Ratings and Reviews
Prismatext Review
Love you concept, excellent value for your money. The only thing that I think would improve it would be a little more insert of the language a person is studying. I am studying Spanish and would like to see more.
Great format
Love the way it repeat certain work for memorization and build on it. Wish it would sync between my phone and iPad. Also more selection of books.
Terrific way to learn
This is a such a fun way to develop language abilities. My advice: even if you normally read complex and nuanced documents in your main language, consider choosing a light read or page turner. Also, beginners? Pick a book written in contemporary language you are likely to encounter in real life rather than an older book with (perhaps delightfully) dated literary language.
Long term wish feature (i think they are just getting started): I would love to see more books originally written in my target language adapted to this system, so that I am moving towards reading either a popular or classic work in its original language, and maybe have a super advanced level that is the original text. (They might have these titles already if not that last mode - apologies if I just didn’t notice.)
I read the books first on the intermediate setting, and then reread later on the advanced setting, which is a little hard for me the first time through. It’s worth the money.
