How it works?

Create or choose an interesting text

Generate something around your interests or open a text you already want to read.

Read it or listen to it

Read at your pace, listen when you want audio, and tap unknown words in context.

Do exercises

Turn what you read into focused practice with exercises that reinforce the same vocabulary.

The best reading interface

For every language.

Transcribe, transliterate, translate

Animation adding Kana and Latin readings above the Japanese proverb 猿も木から落ちる, then revealing its English translation, “Even monkeys fall from trees.”

Decide which language variant you want to learn

Animation showing English with American English selected, then switching to British English as the sentence changes from American to British wording.

Full info for every word

Animation clicking the Spanish word fue and revealing its base form, ir, contextual meaning, and dictionary definitions.

Decide which font you want to use

Animation showing a Chinese sentence switching from a sans font to serif and handwriting styles.

Why it works?

Interest creates momentum

When a text matches your interests, reading stops feeling like a drill and becomes something you want to continue.

Context makes words memorable

You meet words inside sentences, topics, and stories, so meanings are easier to connect and remember.

What people say

Nice app. It is very pleasant to use and makes learning a language much easier.

Tamagana keeps me in the text instead of sending me to a dictionary every minute. I can check a word, keep reading, and stay focused.

I like how quickly I can turn an interesting topic into reading practice. The app makes it easy to build a small daily habit.

Frequently asked questions

: Tamagana requires sign-in before reading to prevent abuse and keep the app reliable. Signing in also lets you use the full experience, including saving favorite words, keeping your texts, and returning to your exercises.
: After you sign in, tap a word in a text to see its translation in your chosen interface language. The goal is to keep you inside the text instead of switching to a separate dictionary.
: Tamagana currently supports 32 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian, Croatian, Serbian, Polish, Hindi, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Romanian, Hungarian, Greek, Czech, Slovak, Indonesian, Malay, Esperanto, Latin.
: Texts show words inside real sentences, topics, and stories. Flashcards can still help, but reading gives you context, repetition, and a reason to keep going.
: Yes. Tamagana has a responsive interface that works in modern mobile browsers on iPhone and Android, with no installation required.
: Choose iPhone or Android in the illustrated installation guide.
Open installation guide
: Yes. The core Tamagana experience is free, and I will strive to keep Tamagana available for free. Only extra Pro features require a paid subscription, including adding your own texts, more audio voices, audio downloads, tailored fonts, and very high audio and translation limits. Tamagana is a very small independent project, so Pro subscriptions help cover the cost of building and running it.
: Tamagana is developing quickly. Many new features are on the way, and some existing features may change substantially as the product improves. You can expect more frequent changes than with an established language-learning app.
The beta label describes this pace of development. It does not mean Tamagana uses weaker security practices; security remains a core requirement as the product evolves.
