What people are saying

Early readers, real words.

Each story is different and pretty entertaining and has helped expand my Spanish vocabulary. So far I have recommended it to my sister in law. Can’t wait to watch her improve her Spanish!
Mayenessa T. · Spanish learner
The stories are short and interesting. Easy to follow, even if you do not enjoy reading. If you want to learn Spanish, I would fully recommend it.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need to already know some Spanish?
No. Stories are graded by level, from absolute-beginner up to advanced. Start at the easiest level and move up as words start to feel familiar.
Can I try Lexio without signing up?
Yes. Tap here and you can read a full Spanish story right now. Tap any word for its meaning, listen to audio, all without creating an account or entering a card. Sign up only when you want to save your progress and review deck.
How is this different from apps like Duolingo?
Lexio is a reading app. With Duolingo, learning is done through isolated exercises and can feel like a chore. Lexio is beautiful and meant to be enjoyed. You'll be learning new words and phrases without even realizing it because you're so focused on the story.
Can I listen to the stories?
Yes. Every story has native-voice audio, and each word highlights as it’s spoken so you can follow along. You can slow it down or speed it up to match your level.
How does the vocabulary review work?
Tap a word once to see its meaning. Tap it again later and it earns a spot in your review deck. Lexio uses spaced repetition to resurface each word just before you’d forget it. A few minutes a day is all you need to see your vocabulary skyrocket.
What does it cost, and can I cancel anytime?
There’s a 7-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $49.90/year (2 free months!). You can cancel anytime from your account. See pricing below for more details.
What devices does it work on?
Lexio runs in any modern browser and installs to your phone’s home screen like a native app (you'll see an "Add to Home Screen" prompt after signing up on mobile). Your progress syncs across devices so you can read on your phone while commuting or on desktop at the office.
