Nothing at hand? Ask, and the agent writes it at your level

Subtlex reads all of it, counts every word and how often it appears, and starts you on the most frequent ones you don’t know yet, so you understand more, faster.

Never forget what you learned
Subtlex reminds you about each word at the right moment and skips the ones you know.

Starting from zero? We’ll go slower.

Tap “I'm a complete beginner, skip the test” and get 31 ready-made lessons in order, from greetings to talking about yesterday. The agent keeps its sentences short and explains everything in your language.

Pay only for what you use

Why I built Subtlex

I’m Leven, an engineer and team lead who left a big corporation to build Subtlex on my own. I love learning languages, and I was tired of apps that stop being useful once you pass the basics.

None of them would let me learn from Oppenheimer, a book I’d just bought or the game I was playing. So I built one that learns from whatever you care about.

I read every message, so I’d love to hear your feedback.
