Two learners ask for a story about football. One is just starting, the other has been reading for months. Each gets a story they can follow.

Level 5 · a few months inAunque llovía a cántaros, el estadio estaba lleno una hora antes del partido. Nuestro equipo empezó perdiendo, pero en los últimos minutos el delantero marcó dos goles seguidos y la afición lo celebró hasta bien entrada la noche.
Although it was pouring with rain, the stadium was full an hour before the match. Our team started off losing, but in the last few minutes the striker scored twice in a row and the fans celebrated late into the night.
There are six reading levels, from a few short sentences up to longer, richer texts. Your level rises as you learn words, and after each lesson one tap tells Polylengua if it was too hard or too easy.

A note from the creator
Why I built Polylengua
I learnt most of my Spanish through : reading and listening to things I could mostly understand. Now I'm learning Polish and Greek, and there are many more languages I'd love to learn, so I need a way of learning that works and that I'll actually keep up.
The hard part has always been finding that input. Most of what I found was either too hard to follow or too dull to finish, and the apps that were easy to stick with were built around keeping a streak going, not around learning.
I built Polylengua to make that input for you. You choose exactly what to read about, whatever your reason for learning, and every lesson is written at your level. No more searching for something that fits: it's made to fit.
