Journeva
Pick your language
Every story exists in all five, so a story you know in one language is a stepping stone into the next.
Pick your level
Start where reading feels comfortable. Change it any time, even inside a story.
Watch the story grow
One sentence of “Atmen im Vier-Takt”, a German story about breathing before an exam, at the four levels. Same scene, same Lena, richer language each step.
- A1
Zehn Minuten vor ihrer Prüfung schlug Lenas Herz schnell.
- A2
Zehn Minuten vor ihrer Prüfung raste Lenas Herz, und ihre Hände wollten einfach nicht still werden.
- B1
Zehn Minuten vor ihrer Prüfung raste Lenas Herz, und ihre Hände weigerten sich, still zu bleiben.
- B2
Zehn Minuten vor ihrer Prüfung raste Lenas Herz, und ihre Hände weigerten sich hartnäckig, still zu bleiben.
In English: ten minutes before her exam, Lena’s heart was racing and her hands would not stay still. Read the whole story at A1 →
One story, four levels.
Every story exists at A1, A2, B1 and B2 — same plot, same characters, same facts, richer language each step up. Start where it's comfortable and climb.
Pick a story
Five categories, five languages. This month's good news, a life lesson, a health tip, a quote from a great book, a recipe.
Tap what you don't know
A translation, a note on the grammar, and where else that word appears in the library.
Climb the ladder
Read the same story one level up. When it's easy, the next one. The words you save come back for gentle practice.
Built for reading, not for streak-chasing.
Everything in Journeva serves the story you're reading. No games, no ads, no accounts.
Real stories, reviewed by a person
Verified facts, retold classics and original tales — every story is checked before it's published.
Tap-to-understand
Every word in every story is in the glossary. Nothing to look up elsewhere.
Listen along
Any story read aloud, with the words lighting up as they're spoken, at your speed.
Practice that remembers
Saved words come back on a spaced schedule, with the sentence you found them in.
New every week
Fresh stories, including this month's good news, appear in the app on their own.
Private by design
No personal data collected. Your progress lives on your device. The whole policy fits on one page.
Five languages, one library.
Every story is written in all five, so you can switch language inside a story you already know.
Free to start, fair to keep.

Questions
Which level should I start at?
The one where you understand most of a story without effort. A2–B1 suits most people who've had some school lessons. You can change it anytime, and switch inside any story.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for. Your progress stays on your device.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Everything already on your device works without a connection; new stories arrive when you're back online.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet — Journeva is for iPhone and iPad. If you'd use it on Android, send a one-line email to [email protected] with "Android" in the subject; we count them. Until then, every story is free to read at A1 on the web.
