Learn French by readingLe Comte de Monte-Cristo

One episode at a time, rewritten so that you understand 95–98% of every sentence. New words return on a schedule. One grammar point per lesson. You rate the lesson; the difficulty follows you.

Calibrated to you

Four short passages of rising difficulty place you on a 7-stage ladder before your first lesson.

Nothing is forgotten

Every word you meet returns on a spaced-repetition schedule — and must appear in the story when it is due.

A real story

Dumas's plot, faithfully followed, told in French you can actually read. Each episode ends on a hook.

One point at a time

At most one new grammar point per lesson, explained from sentences you have just read.

Free while in early access. No card, no audio, no gamification — just reading.
