Eppika is a language learning app with books and stories adapted to your level. Build reading comprehension, vocabulary, and listening skills through meaningful content instead of repetitive drills. Want to learn Spanish by reading or improve another language through graded readers? Choose a book, read or listen for 10-15 minutes, tap unfamiliar words for instant translations, and learn vocabulary naturally in context. Learn the language you want, whether it’s Spanish, English, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Turkish, Greek, Czech, or Polish. Spanish is available in both European and Latin American variants. Join a growing community of 15,000+ learners who use Eppika to make reading part of their language-learning routine. Rated 4.8 on the App Store based on 700+ ratings, Eppika offers an engaging alternative to repetitive exercises, helping learners stay motivated through stories, native audio, instant translations, and level-adapted books. Graded readers for language learners Eppika offers graded readers based on familiar books, classics, stories, and practical non-fiction. Every text is adapted for levels A1-B2, with vocabulary and grammar matched to the right difficulty. Beginners can start reading without feeling lost, while more experienced learners can progress to richer, more complex texts. Each book is challenging enough to help you improve but clear enough to enjoy. Audiobooks for language learning Use Eppika to read and listen in Spanish, English, French, German, or another available language. Native audio helps improve listening comprehension and pronunciation while developing a better sense of the language’s natural rhythm. Switch to Audiobook Mode when you want to learn during a walk, commute, exercise, or before bed. Instant word translation Tap any unfamiliar word for an instant translation without leaving the story. Understand new vocabulary exactly when you need it and keep reading without switching to an external dictionary or translating every sentence. Vocabulary in context Build vocabulary in context by learning words and phrases inside memorable stories. Seeing how words are used makes their meaning easier to understand and remember. Vocabulary tracking helps you follow your progress without relying on isolated flashcards or endless vocabulary lists. Adapted books and stories by level Explore 120+ adapted books and stories in more than 1,800 level-based versions. Start with familiar global titles, then discover classics, literature, practical non-fiction, biography, psychology, productivity, and more. Make reading a daily language habit Eppika fits into short breaks and busy schedules. A focused 10-15-minute session can combine reading, listening, translation, and meaningful progress without points, streaks, or cartoon-style gamification. Who is Eppika for? • Beginners looking for graded readers that do not feel overwhelming • Intermediate learners who want to improve fluency and overcome a plateau • Upper-intermediate learners who want to strengthen comprehension and expand vocabulary • Busy professionals and travellers looking for meaningful daily practice • Book lovers who prefer learning languages through stories instead of traditional lessons How it works 1. Choose the language you want to learn. 2. Select a graded book or story. 3. Set your reading level from A1 to B2. 4. Read or listen, translate unfamiliar words, and build vocabulary in context. Whether you are learning for travel, work, study, culture, or the joy of reading, Eppika helps you turn books into daily language practice.

Just what I needed to improve my Italian
2 Jun

Fantastic learning app. I am B1 in Italian. I read the story of the day at intermediate level every morning. You can click on a word and the audio reads aloud, and gives you a translation, with the option to save in a review list. Not only is this great for my Italian, but I am reading classic literary short stories by amazing authors, instead of clunky “written for learners” stories. Probably not for anyone who doesn’t enjoy reading fiction.

Grazie mille! Reading real literary short stories instead of clunky "written-for-learners" text is exactly our aim — so glad it's helping your Italian. — The Eppika Team

I’ve been reading nightly on and off for about a month now and seeing my vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency increase. In addition to practicing more with friends and family, listening to Spanish podcasts, and watching shows with Spanish subtitles or dubbed, this app is certainly playing a part in helping me gain confidence in learning a new language.

Developer Response
This is exactly what we hoped reading nightly would do — and pairing it with podcasts, subtitles and real conversations is the right way to do it. Thank you for taking the time to write this up. Enjoy the next book. — Nick, Eppika

Rather difficult to use. There doesn’t seem to be a way to return to the home page from a story. Also, the slowest speed is 0.8 which is still a little fast when encountering words which are new in quick succession. It’s not easy to pause and restart at will. Any contact with the text results in the audio leaping to that point. Finally, I find I can read the books pretty well but the audio is just too fast. So it doesn’t really do what I wanted and leaves me frustrated. Probably reasonably priced - but Not for me.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, JanM13. Two quick things that might help: to leave a story, tap the ✕ at the top-left — it takes you back to the home tab. And tapping a word is meant to do two jobs — show its translation and move the audio to that point — which is why the narration jumped on you. You're right that the slowest speed is limited, though; genuinely slower narration and easier pausing are on our list. If you'd give it another go, email support@eppika.com and we'll help. — The Eppika Team

Great idea. Doesn’t work well

The iOS developers are clearly more focussed on asking for money every few minutes rather than actually making the app work! I would have paid if it worked!! 🤦🏼‍♂️The play button only played audio first time I used it. After that I only saw an endless activity indicator! Come on devs! Just use it to learn Spanish and you’ll see it’s buggy!!!!! Then I will change my review - when you make the feature of playing audio more stable

You're right, and it isn't your device. We've found a fault where the audio fails to load and hangs on the spinner instead of starting. It's logged, it's affecting a lot of people, and we're working on it. I won't give you a date I can't keep.Two things that sometimes get it moving meanwhile: force-close and reopen the app, and try on a different network. Some of these failures are the audio file never fetching at all.You said you'd revisit the review once audio is stable. That's fair, and I'd rather earn that than ask for it.Nick, Eppika
