B1 is the level most learners get stuck at — you can follow a conversation but real fiction still feels like a wall of unfamiliar words. The stories on this page are written to sit just above that wall: recognisable plots and everyday characters, with enough new vocabulary to stretch you without drowning you.
Every article here is pitched to sit in your personal 90-98% comprehensible zone — the range where you understand almost everything from context, but still meet enough new words to grow. That's the comprehensible-input principle: reading slightly above your current level, not a graded textbook and not native-speed news, is what actually moves your vocabulary forward. Tap any unfamiliar word while you read and it's saved straight into your vocabulary graph — the same graph your flashcards and AI conversation practice draw from.
If you've maxed out a beginner app and don't know what comes next, B1 fiction — read consistently, with every new word captured — is exactly the kind of immersion that gets you moving again.

No. Signup asks for no card and takes you straight into a real, full article — free. A card is only ever requested if you choose to start the 7-day trial after that first article.
Every article is checked by an automated CEFR difficulty gate before it's published, so it's genuinely pitched to the stated level — not simplified into unnatural textbook Spanish, and not native-speed text that outruns the level.
Each saved word enters your personal vocabulary graph, which also feeds your flashcard reviews and your AI conversation practice — one connected record of what you know, not three separate tools that don't talk to each other.
