Learning with Books 📚

Imported books offer the full Language Lit experience:

  • Save vocabulary items as flashcards for later review
  • Track your reading progress through the book
  • Search for specific words or phrases within the book
  • Adjust text size and display settings for comfortable reading

Finding the Right Books 🔎

For language learners, we recommend:

  • Start with books you're already familiar with in your native language
  • Choose books appropriate for your current language level
  • Consider children's books or young adult fiction for intermediate learners
  • Look for books with conversational language for practical vocabulary

Public Domain Books 📚

Don't have EPUB files? Language Lit also offers access to thousands of public domain books through our integration with Project Gutenberg. Browse these in the Dashboard under "Public Books."

Tips for Effective Learning 💡

  • Read regularly - Even just 10-15 minutes daily builds vocabulary
  • Don't look up every word - Focus on understanding the general meaning
  • Highlight strategically - Save only the most useful or challenging words
  • Re-read passages - Return to difficult sections after learning the vocabulary
