Learning with a document

Turn a PDF into an interactive language-learning material

Add a PDF to a project, work with its text, and connect reading to vocabulary, questions, and later practice.

Start without signing up by opening a material from the public library.

From material to practice

The user need

A PDF does not have to remain a static page

When a document becomes part of the workspace, you can explore language while reading and preserve the link between passage, vocabulary, and practice.

How to begin

Three clear steps from source material to active practice.

  1. 1

    Add a PDF

    Upload the file to your project. Scanned documents can use OCR processing.

  2. 2

    Work with the text

    Select supported passages, explore words, and ask questions about the content.

  3. 3

    Save and use the language

    Add useful items to your dictionary and use the material as the basis for further practice.
