Reading-first language learning

Read what you love. Learn it day by day.

Ruby Hibi puts the reading first: tap any word for its meaning, reading and grammar, save it, and let spaced repetition bring it back at the right moment. A few minutes a day — with friends, if you like.

日々(Hibi)

How a day goes

ReadA story at your level, with furigana or pinyin where you need it.
TapTap a word: meaning, reading and grammar appear at once, and it is saved for you.
ReviewA few minutes of spaced repetition, and the day counts.

Reader

Furigana or pinyin on what you do not know yet, any font, and read-aloud that highlights as it goes.

Review

Daily spaced repetition both ways for every word you save. A few minutes is enough to keep the day.

Write

A short page a day in the language you are learning, with corrections and words to pick up from your own sentences.

Your level

A starting level you choose or gauge with a short word check, then daily quests, streaks with freezes, and challenges.

Friends

A shared streak, suggested words and stories, and a look at how much they practised today.
