The mission
Language should never be the reason someone cannot share, or receive, the good news.
Most language courses teach you to order coffee. This one teaches you the words you'll actually use on the field — through a text you already know, in a rhythm you can practise every day. It's open source and free to read.
Everything you need to study a verse properly.
Parallel scripture
Every verse side by side in English and the language you're learning, so meaning is never guesswork.
Native narration
Studio-quality voices read each verse aloud, with a marker tracking the exact word being spoken.
Repetition that sticks
Choose how many times each language repeats, and set a different pace for every repetition.
Word study on tap
Tap once to translate a word, twice for usage, example sentences, cross references and the Greek or Hebrew.
Speaking mode
The reader pauses at natural stopping points and cues you to repeat the line out loud.
Prepared once, instant forever
Text, audio and lookups are built the first time a chapter is opened, then served instantly to everyone.
How it works
01
Pick your two languages
Your native language sets the whole interface. Your learning language sets the scripture beside it.
02
Choose how you listen
English first, learning language first, or a single voice only — at any pace from 0.75x to 3x.
03
Read, listen, repeat, speak
Work a chapter verse by verse. Progress, streaks and your last position are saved as you go.
