Simply Fluent provides seamless, in-context translations to help you read naturally in your target language. Tap any word or phrase for an instant, accurate translation without interrupting your reading flow. Instead of translating entire texts, Simply Fluent focuses on individual words and short phrases, allowing you to understand meaning in context and reinforce learning organically. Beyond basic translations, you can also:

• Look up detailed explanations for words and phrases, including alternative meanings.
• See grammar insights, such as verb conjugations or noun gender.
• Explore example sentences to understand how words and phrases are used naturally in different contexts.

This deeper level of understanding helps you not just recognize words, but truly grasp how they function in a sentence. Over time, this approach builds a stronger, more intuitive connection with your target language, making reading both more enjoyable and effective.

Simply Fluent offers a powerful word lookup feature that goes beyond basic translations. When you tap on a word or phrase, you can access additional details such as alternative meanings, grammar insights, and example sentences showing how it’s used in context.

This deeper understanding helps you not only recognize words but also grasp how they function within a sentence, making it easier to use them naturally in your own writing and speech.

Simply Fluent provides high-quality translations to help you read naturally in your target language. While no translation system is perfect, Simply Fluent focuses on translating words and short phrases in context, making it easier to understand and retain new vocabulary.

To ensure translations are as accurate and useful as possible, you can provide feedback on them. This not only helps refine and improve the system over time but also makes translations better for everyone using Simply Fluent. With this collaborative approach, the reading experience keeps getting better for all learners.

Yes! The first time you open a book in a new language, Simply Fluent will ask you to choose a translation language. This is the language your translations will appear in while you read.

You can change the translation language anytime in the settings. Your dictionary will only show translations for the selected language pair, keeping your saved words and phrases organized based on the combination of the language you’re learning and your chosen translation language.

With Premium, you can import DRM-free books in EPUB and TXT formats for a smooth reading experience. These formats work best with Simply Fluent’s features, ensuring clear text and seamless translation support.

PDFs are also supported, though due to their complex formatting, some files may not display as smoothly as EPUBs. If you have a PDF that isn’t displaying perfectly, converting it to EPUB can often improve readability. Many free tools are available online to help with this, so you can still enjoy your favorite books in Simply Fluent.

Many eBook platforms, like Kindle, use Digital Rights Management (DRM) to restrict access to their books. This means that in most cases, the actual book files aren’t accessible to users and can only be opened within the platform’s official apps or devices. As a result, these books can’t be imported into Simply Fluent or other third-party apps.

However, Simply Fluent includes its own collection of books and also provides links to unaffiliated websites where you can legally buy or download DRM-free books in your target language. This makes it easier to find compatible content while respecting copyright restrictions.

Text-to-speech in Simply Fluent is an optional feature that helps you improve pronunciation and listening skills while reading. You can listen to individual words, translations, or even have an entire page read aloud—making it easier to absorb the language in both written and spoken form.

During flashcard reviews, Simply Fluent also reads words and phrases aloud, reinforcing how they sound as you study. Whether you want to check a single word’s pronunciation or immerse yourself by listening while reading, text-to-speech makes learning even more engaging and effective.

Simply Fluent lets you keep learning even without an internet connection. You can continue reading your books, reviewing saved translations, and practicing flashcards anytime, anywhere. While new translations require an internet connection, you can save words for later and look them up once you’re back online.

This makes offline mode perfect for travel, commuting, or any time you want to focus on reading without distractions. No matter where you are, your learning never has to pause.

Flashcards in Simply Fluent help you strengthen your vocabulary and retain new words more effectively. Every saved translation automatically becomes a flashcard, allowing you to review and reinforce key words without any extra effort.

Using spaced repetition, flashcards help you remember words for the long term by reviewing them at optimal intervals. You can also mark important words as favorites to focus on them more. This feature is completely optional—perfect for those who want to accelerate their vocabulary growth while still enjoying a relaxed, immersive reading experience.

With Simply Fluent, you can learn at your own pace, whether you prefer to absorb words naturally through reading or actively reinforce them with flashcards."

The memorization feature provides visible proof of your progress. As you confidently learn words, mark them as “memorized” with a simple tap. These words will still appear highlighted throughout all your books, but without showing the translation, creating a satisfying visual representation of your growing vocabulary. This system helps you focus on learning new words while reinforcing your confidence in the vocabulary you’ve already mastered—a powerful motivator that traditional language apps can’t match.

Simply Fluent makes it easy to focus on the vocabulary that matters most to you. Any translation you save can be marked as a favorite, making it stand out in your reading and ensuring it’s prioritized in your flashcard reviews.
