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, youll be reading in English.
Very shortly thereafter, youll 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: youll find their meaning there, as well as a way to hear those same words spoken.The more you read, the more new words youll 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.
Youll 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, thats fine.
Every great journey needs footnotes.==========PRISMATEXT WORKS• numerous peer-reviewed studies from around the world agree: diglot weave is one of the most effective learning methods for foreign language vocabulary retention• beginners welcome!

It's a little bumpy, but it's 1.0, so it's expected. Works fine on my tablet, but on my phone it's just the normal text, no replacements. Also, seems some of the books aren't in the app yet (looking at you Call if Cthulhu). But like I said, it works great on my tablet. The company has always fixed problems quickly, so I'm sure the app will shake things out.
