Shape Language

Master any language as you browse: highlight text on any page to see its translation and grammar breakdown.

Master any language — on the pages you already read. Highlight a word, a phrase or a sentence on any page and tap the Shape Language button that appears beside it. A card opens with: • The translation, with its difficulty level (JLPT for Japanese, HSK for Mandarin, TOPIK for Korean, CEFR for the rest) • A breakdown of how the sentence works, chunk by chunk • The key words, each with its reading and part of speech • Furigana over Japanese kanji, and readings for Chinese, Korean and other scripts • Natural speech for the original and the translation • A note on anything worth knowing: register, culture, common mistakes It reads the page around your selection to pick the right meaning of a word, and it works in 44 languages, from Spanish and French to Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Fuzhounese. Shape Language uses your Shape Language account (sign in with Apple or Google). It's the same account as the iPhone, iPad and Mac apps, with the same study language and level.
