Learn a language
through art.

Every day, a curated page: a painting first — then a film, a book, a story, a quote, an essay, and more — rewritten at six levels, from A1 to C2, in seven languages. Tap any word to see what it means in yours.

art first, then everything else

every morning

Today's page, and the painting on it.

A painting first — then a film, a book, a story, a quote, the news: one curated page a day, in the language you are learning. Swipe back for yesterday's; nothing is ever lost.

your level, your words

Change the level. Tap a word. Translate a sentence.

Too hard? Step down to A2. Too easy? Climb to C1. Tap any word for its meaning, or switch on sentence mode and tap a whole sentence — the painting stays on the page while you read about it.

keep what you love

Favourites, painters, the archive.

Tap the heart on a page — or on a painter, a director, a writer — and it waits in Favourites. Every past page stays in the archive, by kind, as a wall of art you have read.
