How is Polli different from gamified language apps?
Most language apps use gamified exercises and translation drills. Polli takes a completely different approach: you learn by reading AI-generated stories tailored to your exact level and interests. Instead of disconnected vocabulary lists, you acquire words and grammar naturally through context - the way you learned your first language.
What if I'm a complete beginner?
Polli works for all levels, from A1 beginners to C2 advanced learners. When you're just starting out, the AI generates simpler stories with basic vocabulary and grammar. As you progress, stories become more complex. You control the difficulty by setting your CEFR level.
How does the AI story generation work?
You choose a topic (travel, cooking, mystery, romance-anything you want), set your language level, and optionally target specific grammar skills. Our AI then generates a unique story just for you. Every story is different, so you'll never run out of fresh content to read.
What languages does Polli support?
Polli supports 20+ languages including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Greek, and many more. We're constantly adding new languages based on user requests.
How is this different from other reading-based apps?
Other reading apps provide fixed content libraries or let you import existing texts. Instead, Polli generates custom stories based on your preferences. You choose the topic, mood, style, and grammar focus, then AI creates a story specifically for you. It's personalized learning, not one-size-fits-all content.
Can I use Polli to prepare for language exams?
Yes! Polli uses the CEFR framework (A1-C2) that's the basis for most language exams like DELF, DELE, Goethe-Zertifikat, and others. You can target specific grammar skills and vocabulary at your exam level to practice reading comprehension in context.
Is there a free version?
Yes! The free plan includes vocabulary saving, progress tracking, and limited story generation and insights. PRO unlocks unlimited custom stories, unlimited insights, and high-quality voice narration.
What's included in the PRO subscription?
PRO gives you unlimited AI-generated stories on any topic, unlimited grammar and vocabulary insights, and high-quality voice narration for all your stories. It's $9.99/month or $99.99/year (save $20 with annual billing).
