Feature spotlight
Turn any article URL into level-appropriate Spanish or French reading practice.

Paste an article URL into Lectura and convert it into a Spanish or French version matched to your CEFR reading level. This lets you keep the topic authentic while controlling the language difficulty, so real news becomes usable practice instead of overwhelming native text.
