Learn through great literature
How it works
Two modes, one vocabulary
Every word you learn flows between study modes. Read real texts and drill vocabulary with flashcards — all connected.
Guided Reading
Read real literature phrase by phrase. Translate each chunk, tap any word for its gloss and morphology. Every word you encounter flows into your flashcard deck.
Spaced Repetition
Decks organized by passage so you can prestudy words.
Why CodexTutor

Real Texts, Not Textbooks
You're not learning from fabricated examples. Every flashcard, every drill, every phrase comes directly from literature that people actually read.
Track Every Word You Know
Your vocabulary is tracked across every text and every mode. See exactly what percentage of any chapter you can read.
Three Languages, Done Right
Three traditions chosen for depth, not breadth. The same engine adapts to each language’s native grammar — Arabic root morphology, Latin cases, French liaison. More languages on the way.
