How can I improve my language skills with Beelinguapp?

You can choose the texts which interest you the most from a diversified library containing adventure stories, classics, fairy tales and stories for children, as well as articles about science, technology, culture and similar content. You will also find useful conversations you may need when travelling to another country and connecting with locals.

  • See the translation of a specific word or phrase and listen to it by selecting it through a long click
