Описание

"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.

Good but always room to improve

So far I’ve had the app about a week. It doesn’t have the widest range of books yet, but it’s still a decent range. There was a point when it was a little glitchy, I contacted support and they not only responded quickly they got the problem resolved the same day. I would like if when learning a language it put in more of that language. Maybe make it so once we’ve seen a word once in our chosen language don’t let it appear in the original language we’re reading in again. I also wish that if I’m reading a second book then words I learned in the first were already translated to the language I’m learning but not sure that aspect is possible. Overall it’s been a good experience.

Thank you for your feedback! We identified the bug early in the week and were able to fix the issue. Would you mind giving it another shot? And if you experience any other issues, please let us know here: https://prismatext.freshdesk.com

Wonderful concept, but needs work!

I think this is a great way to improve vocabulary. Unlike LingQ, it’s gradual learning, and you can choose how much you want to learn as well. But the translations, they’re done too much without context. Especially languages like French and Spanish, a lot of it is contextual, and I’ve had to submit a lot of feedback (feminine vs masculine in sentences, and speech). It almost feels like they Google translate a few phrases here and there or translate each individual sentence or word without keeping it natural. I’ve had to look in ChatGPT and DeepL to translate phrases that seemed off to me. Maybe I’m missing the process, but that has been a little bit of a turn off from the app, seeing how different the responses are from Prismatext, but how similar the translations are to each other in the two other applications.

I still love the concept though and I’m hoping they keep improving the app! I love being able to read stories in another language.

Good App, Would love to See Full Multilingual textbook

While I like the gradual vocabulary building approach, I do wish there were an option to see the book fully in the other language with accompanying translations - maybe a “toggle” where you can switch between “gradual reading” mode & “full immersion” mode?

I’m 90% fluent in Dutch, & would be able to read a full book in that language; with the ability to just tap on a word (in my case I just look it up) of which I do not know the meaning. An example of what I’m talking about is the app DuChinese (which is excellent for Chinese language learning).

I’m glad to see there’s another app that uses books to teach a language; looking forward to seeing future developments! I’m currently learning German & was frustrated being unable to find a good reading resource for that language.

I also like that you can simply buy the book & have it; I can’t really stand subscriptions. The e-reader functions well. Thanks!
