Learn a language the way you binge a story.
TaleSelf turns every lesson into a story you steer. Tap any word, hear it read aloud, and keep that streak burning, day or night. ✨
- Stories from A1 to C2 📚
- Tap any word to translate 👆
- Streaks, chests and leagues 🔥
Learn two languages at once 🧠
Know English and learning German? Read every meaning in English and practise both. Your own language is always one tap away.
- Meanings in a language you know. Pick it in Settings, under Your language. Translations and word meanings follow it.
- One more tap. Don't know a word in a meaning? Tap it to see it in your own language, and save it too.
- Everywhere you read. Stories, line by line, quizzes, flashcards and your own story ideas.
Now you write the story ✍️
Got an idea? Write it in any language and play it as your own story, with you as the hero. Or add your own choice to a scene, for every reader to find.
- Your idea, your world. Say who you are and what stands in your way. You set the start, and every choice after it is yours.
- Yours first. Only you can play it at first. Our team reads each one and can make it public.
- Your own move. Don't like the options? Write what you do next, and it joins the scene for everyone.

👋 Tap a character to say hi
You're the hero of every story. 🦸
No faceless reader here. Pick a character and the whole tale is about you: your name and your look show up in every scene, and the narrator talks about you. Go on, say hi, just like in the app. 👋
- Twelve heroes to pick from. Six men, six women. Your first one is free, the rest are 500 coins in the shop.
- Two secret blue ones. Kael and Nera can't be bought. Keep a 5-day streak and they're both yours.
- They talk back. Tap one and they say hi, lips moving to the voice. Yes, really.
- Swap anytime. Open My characters and suit up as someone new whenever you like.
Every hero says hi in their own language. 🌍
Tap a hero to hear their hello in the app's own voice: French, Persian, Spanish, Arabic, German, Dutch, Turkish or Italian. TaleSelf speaks nine app languages, right to left too.

Bright by day. Cozy by night. 🌗
TaleSelf has a full dark theme, not just a darker background. Every screen, card and story page is designed for both, so a late-night chapter never blinds you.
- Dark for bedtime reading. Soft and glare-free, for that "just one more chapter" moment.
- Light for the daytime. Clean, airy and easy to read, even in the sun.
- Follows your phone. Switches on its own, or pick your favorite in Settings.
Your next chapter is waiting. 📖
Build a streak, meet new characters and crack open chests, while the language quietly sticks. 🚀
