What real users and professors say about Langster
Love this!
I love reading and hearing in French. This app is very helpful to see and hear examples of written and oral French. I like the quizzes and explanations!
Excellent app!
I love the set up of this app. It’s easy to use, has tools to understand the readings and a quiz after. I like that the articles are short so I can do it daily.
Learning via reading & listening
I want to improve my Spanish reading comprehension. I've been trying many other apps and different ways but the progression was slow. I've tried Langster for a week, my progress is great so far and I've learn many new Spanish words that is useful for me. Keep up the good work!
A unique app
It was so helpful and custom-made for my learning style that I wanted to write a review, even though I very rarely take the time. I find it wonderful how the developers thought out all the different needs of the learner and sought to meet them with the app.
Hidden gem
This is probably one of the most effective language learning apps I have come across. Well graded texts with quick and easy access to dictionary and grammar explanations. Stories are not too long which enables time for a thorough review and recap.
One of a kind
I don’t write reviews often at all, but I felt compelled to write one for this app. I’ve tried probably 6-8 German language learning apps and this is the best one for my learning style, by far.

How do I know that Langster works?

Langster offers English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese story lessons. We will continue to add more learning languages!

Learners can check in occasionally to take advantage of our rotating free stories, but reading all the stories at once does cost a small fee, which we use to keep improving Langster.
