Free 30-Day Reading Challenge

You know reading would help.
But it feels impossible.

You've tried opening a book in the language you're learning. You gave up after the first paragraph because every other word stopped you. It felt overwhelming, frustrating—and you wondered if you'd ever be able to read comfortably like you do in your native language.

Simply Fluent was built to solve exactly this. This 30-day challenge will prove to you that reading in another language doesn't have to be impossible—it can be the most enjoyable part of your day.

📖
Imagine opening a book and actually understanding it. No more stopping every sentence. Just reading.

What Will You Actually Experience?

We won't lie to you: you won't become fluent in 30 days. Anyone who promises that is selling you something fake.

But you WILL experience the transformation from "reading is impossible" to "reading is how I learn." Even just 10-15 minutes a day is enough. Here's what that looks like:

Week 1

The Beginning

You'll translate constantly. This is normal. You're not failing—you're collecting the vocabulary you're missing. Every word you save now will make next week easier.

Week 2

The Curve

Words you saved last week start appearing everywhere, already highlighted. You stop translating them. Reading gets noticeably easier with every page you finish.

Week 3-4

The Shift

"Wait. I'm not studying anymore. I'm just... reading. And I'm actually enjoying this."

This is the moment language learning stops being a chore and becomes something you want to do.

What is Simply Fluent?

Simply Fluent exists for one reason: we believe reading is how people actually become fluent.

Not through gamified lessons. Not through artificial streaks and experience points. Not through flashy animations designed to manipulate you into opening an app.

Through words. Through stories. Through the same way you learned your native language—by reading.

Reading is the closest thing to a magic pill that exists. Not because it's easy or fast, but because it lets you learn at your own pace, through content you actually enjoy.

Our Mission

We want you to read books. Real books. Stories that move you. Content that connects you to the culture, the world, the beauty of the language you're learning.

We want you to stop treating language learning like a game you have to win, and start seeing it as a journey you get to experience.

Help you become fluent by giving you the tools to read comfortably. That's our entire mission. Tools that serve you. Reading at your own pace. Progress you can feel.

The Change We Want to Create

We want to be the reason thousands of people finally read their first novel in another language.

We want learners to connect with cultures and worlds they never thought they could access.

We want to bring language learning back to its roots—back to the power of words, stories, and genuine connection.

When you finish reading a book in the language you're learning, and you realize you actually understood it, enjoyed it, lived in that world—that's what we're here for.

This 30-day challenge isn't about keeping you hooked on an app. It's about proving to you that reading works. That fluency isn't something you grind for—it's something you read your way into.

Why This Works When Everything Else Failed

Reading is joy-based, not discipline-based

You go at your own pace. You catch the words relevant to you. You get cultural insights no textbook teaches. You see grammar patterns in action and build intuition for how the language actually works. Most importantly: you're learning through stories you actually enjoy.

Meaningful repetition without flashcard grinding

You encounter the same words dozens of times across different contexts. Your brain learns naturally through exposure. Flashcards are available if you want them, but reading itself is the real teacher.

Multiple ways to absorb the language

Read silently. Read out loud. Listen to it. Reread passages you love. Learn through examples and context. Your brain gets the input it needs in the way that works for you.

Built-in accountability

Join our private WhatsApp group with other challenge participants. Share your progress, get support, and stay motivated together. Learners with accountability partners are significantly more likely to stick with it.

Start Reading. Start Learning. Start Enjoying It.

You know what you have to do. You've known reading is the answer. You just needed the tools to make it actually possible.

Any Questions Before You Start?

Is this really free?

Yes—your first 30 days are completely free. To claim the trial, you'll start a subscription through your app store, but you won't be charged during the trial period. You can cancel anytime if it's not for you.

We offer this free trial so you can experience how reading-based learning can transform your language journey. We believe Simply Fluent is one of the best ways to build vocabulary and grammar through reading, which is why we want to give you a genuine chance to try it out.

What happens after 30 days?

To claim your free trial, you'll start a subscription through your app store (iOS or Android). Your first 30 days are completely free—you won't be charged during this period.

After the trial, your subscription continues at the price shown in the app, which may vary by region. You can cancel anytime through your app store if it's not for you. No questions asked, no surprises.

I'm a complete beginner. Will this work for me?

This challenge is designed for intermediate learners who already have basic vocabulary but struggle to read real content. If you're a complete beginner, we recommend building up your vocabulary first (a couple hundred words) before jumping into reading-based learning.

Having to translate every single word isn't enjoyable and won't help you build the reading habit this challenge focuses on. Start with a vocabulary-building app or course, then come back when you're ready to bridge the gap to comfortable reading.

I'm already intermediate. Is this still valuable?

This is PERFECT for you. Intermediate learners often get stuck because traditional apps don't bridge the gap to real content. This challenge is designed specifically to break through that barrier.

What languages are supported?

All major languages with full support. Import your own books for 100+ additional languages. Translation quality is continuously improving.

Do I have to do flashcards?

Nope. Everything in Simply Fluent is optional. Use flashcards if they help. Skip them if you prefer learning purely through reading. Your choice.

What books can I read?

You have access to our library of stories and classic literature across languages. We also provide content at various difficulty levels to help you progress.

But here's the real power: You can import any EPUB or PDF you own. That novel you've been wanting to read? Just import it and you'll have all of Simply Fluent's translation and vocabulary tools at your disposal.

The value isn't a curated Netflix-style library—it's giving YOU the tools to read whatever YOU choose.

What if I miss a day?

Simply pick up where you left off. The challenge is about making progress over 30 days, not perfection every single day.

Is this available on iOS and Android?

Yes! The app works on phones and tablets. Make sure to use the download links on this page to activate the 30-day promotional offer.

I'm already a Simply Fluent subscriber. Can I join?

Yes! We'll add a bonus month to your subscription.
