About Lectura

A personalised news feed for learning Spanish and French by reading.

What is Lectura?

How does Lectura personalise my reading?

Your language, level, and topic preferences shape a feed of stories you are more likely to read consistently. The feed updates throughout the day, so practice stays fresh.

Why Lectura exists

Most language-learning apps still make learners adapt to the app: fixed lessons, generic sentences, stale content libraries, and reading exercises that feel disconnected from real life. But reading only becomes a habit when the content feels worth opening every day.

Lectura starts from the opposite assumption: your interests should drive the practice. If you care about technology, sport, culture, politics, world news, science, health, or business, those topics can become your daily input in Spanish or French.

How Lectura works today

Choose your language, choose your level, and choose the topics you want to follow. Lectura gives you a personalised language-learning news feed with real stories adapted to your current reading level. New articles are added throughout the day, so there is always something current to read.

Each article is designed to preserve the real topic while controlling vocabulary and sentence complexity for A1, A2, or B1. You can read at the level that feels comprehensible, then switch levels when you want to stretch.

What makes it different

  • A feed, not a worksheet library: Lectura is built around fresh reading sessions, not static exercises.
  • Personal topics: you choose the subjects that make you want to come back.
  • Level-matched input: articles are adapted for A1, A2, and B1 so reading stays challenging without becoming impossible.
  • Spanish and French paths: start from the language you are learning and build a daily reading habit around it.
  • Progress over time: reading volume, streaks, and level comfort help you see the habit forming.

Convert any article when you already have a link

Alongside the personalised feed, Lectura can turn a public article URL into level-appropriate Spanish or French reading practice. Use it when a friend sends you a story, when you find an article outside the feed, or when you want to bring a specific source into your reading session.

Who Lectura is for

Lectura is for Spanish and French learners at A1, A2, or B1 who want real reading practice but do not want to spend every session hunting for suitable articles. It is especially useful if you already read the news in your native language and want that habit to support language learning.

Built by

Lectura is an independent product built by one person — a language learner and developer who wanted a better bridge between real-world curiosity and level-matched input. The product philosophy is simple: real topics, comprehensible text, daily reading, and steady progress.
