How it Works
ReadAlien from Read Alien on Vimeo.
Chat like a native. Reduce the fear.
Learn foreign literature that you provide. On your terms.


Tonal languages are hard.
We bring an end to rote-memorization.
Overlay verb conjugations with an IME-style keyboard to real-time assist the person you're talking to. Data from the literature that you read feeds directly into a context-based learning experience.
We support polyphomes, character grouping/merging, and complex parsing of character-based languages.
If we don't conjugate verbs correctly, the data will tell us how to do it right the next time.
