What is Simply Fluent?
Simply Fluent is a language learning tool designed to help intermediate and above learners read real books in another language. It provides contextual translations for any word or phrase, so you get the meaning that fits the sentence, not a list of possibilities. The tool includes automatic flashcards based on saved words, read-aloud functionality with adjustable speed, and a growing library of short stories and classics. Users can also import their own EPUB, PDF, or text books. Simply Fluent supports 37 languages with built-in content and offers translation tools for over 90 more. Progress tracking shows words read, saved, practiced, and memorized across all books and languages.

FAQs
-
Is Simply Fluent for beginners?
Simply Fluent works best for learners at A2 level and above who know the basics and want to advance through real reading. It is a companion tool for self-paced learning. -
What if I can barely read a page without help?
That is exactly where everyone starts. In the first few pages you will translate often. By chapter three, noticeably less. By your second book, you will understand much more without tapping. -
Is Simply Fluent free?
Yes, there is a free tier that includes 30 translations per day, access to the content library, personal dictionary, and flashcard practice. Premium unlocks unlimited translations and book imports for €7.99/month or €59.99/year, with a 30-day free trial. -
What happens when I hit my daily limit on the Free tier?
Your limits reset at midnight. You can continue reading, but translation features will be limited until the next day. Your saved words and progress are never affected. -
Can I switch between Free and Premium?
Absolutely. Start with the 30-day Premium trial, then decide. If you cancel, you keep all your saved words and progress on the Free tier. Upgrade to Premium anytime.
