How it works?
Create or choose an interesting text
Generate something around your interests or open a text you already want to read.
Read it or listen to it
Read at your pace, listen when you want audio, and tap unknown words in context.
Do exercises
Turn what you read into focused practice with exercises that reinforce the same vocabulary.
Why it works?
Interest creates momentum
When a text matches your interests, reading stops feeling like a drill and becomes something you want to continue.
Context makes words memorable
You meet words inside sentences, topics, and stories, so meanings are easier to connect and remember.

What people say
Nice app. It is very pleasant to use and makes learning a language much easier.
Tamagana keeps me in the text instead of sending me to a dictionary every minute. I can check a word, keep reading, and stay focused.
I like how quickly I can turn an interesting topic into reading practice. The app makes it easy to build a small daily habit.

- Yes. The app is fully responsive and works on any modern smartphone browser - no install required.
- Tamagana is currently free to use. It may become paid in the future, but I will try to keep it free or freemium for as long as possible and be clear before anything changes.
