Practice stories in 27 languages

Choose the language you want to learn and the language you want translations in. Onelingy combines sentence typing, story reading and pronunciation audio so you can practice at your own pace.

Stories start from English source text and are translated for your selected language pair. Translation and audio availability can vary by language and provider. These are practice materials, not a complete language course or a fluency certification.

How to choose your language pair

  1. Open language setup and select the language you want to practice.
  2. Select a native language for translations, then choose your level and goal.
  3. Create an account or sign in, then choose a free story from the story library.
  4. Use the language controls in the navigation to change your learning or native language later.

A practical starting point

Try a few sentences first. Read their meaning, listen, type carefully, and say one sentence aloud. For languages with a different writing system, set up the matching keyboard before starting. Speed matters less than understanding what you have written.
