Beletria puts nearly 100 classics in Spanish, German, French and Italian in your pocket and helps you read them, one sentence at a time. No textbook dialogues, no streaks to protect: just stories worth reading, with help whenever you need it.
TAP ANY WORD
See its meaning in context, its dictionary form and a short grammar note. Save the words you want to keep with one tap.
UNDERSTAND EVERY SENTENCE
Show the English translation of the sentence you’re on, or open a plain-language explanation of how it’s built: why the verb sits at the end, what that case ending is doing, which idiom you’ve just met.
LISTEN AS YOU READ
Hear each sentence read aloud by a natural voice, then its translation if you like. Turn on continuous listening and keep going with the screen locked.
BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY
Every word you save lands in My Vocabulary. Practise them with a simple flashcard trainer, mark the ones you know, and see how much of each book you can already read.
A SHELF WORTH BROWSING
Every book has its own illustrated cover. Browse the library by language, level and genre; each book shows its difficulty, length and Goodreads rating, so you can pick one that fits. Missing a favourite? Request it, and we’ll let you know when it arrives.
PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
The books you’re reading wait for you under Continue reading. Your place in every book is saved and follows you between your iPhone and the web at app.beletria.com.
TRY IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
Read the opening of any book as a guest. Sign in with Apple or Google when you want to keep going and save words.
FREE, NO ADS
Every book, every word, every sentence. Nothing to unlock and nothing to buy.
Translations and explanations are in English and are generated to help you read; if one looks wrong, tell us with a tap.
