Why iStoria?
iStoria is not just another language-learning app—it’s a comprehensive tool to enhance your reading and listening skills.

How to Learn with iStoria
1. Register and Take the Placement Test
When you first sign up for iStoria, you can take a placement test that determines the level best suited to your current skills. This ensures an organized learning journey, whether you’re a beginner or at an advanced stage.
2. Set Your Daily Goal
Dedicate time each day to learning. Set clear goals, such as reading one story or completing a certain number of practice tests, and track your progress consistently.
3. Listen to the Story
Improve your listening skills by listening to stories provided by iStoria. Audio narration helps you learn correct pronunciation and understand the general context of the stories.
4. Read Independently
Enhance your reading comprehension by independently reading stories. iStoria's diverse topics allow you to improve your reading speed and understanding.
5. Read with Assistant
The “Read with Assistant” feature offers an interactive learning experience designed to improve your pronunciation and listening skills. Listen to a sentence or paragraph, repeat it, and the app will review your pronunciation. Incorrectly pronounced words are highlighted in red, and once pronounced correctly, the app moves to the next sentence. Text is highlighted during reading to help you follow along and recognize words.
6. Add Vocabulary to 'Know List' or 'Learn List'
Before starting a story, iStoria allows you to review your current vocabulary. You can add words you already know to your “Know List” or add new words you want to learn to your “Learn List.”
7. Test New Vocabulary After Each Chapter
After each chapter, take a vocabulary quiz to measure your improvement.
8. Answer Comprehension Questions
At the end of each chapter, answer comprehension questions to reinforce your understanding and retention.
9. Translate Words with Correct Pronunciation
iStoria offers a feature to translate any word by simply tapping on it in the story. You’ll see its meaning and hear the correct pronunciation while reading.
10. Choose Pronunciation Accent (American or British)
Select your preferred accent (American or British) to learn accurate pronunciation. This feature is available for independent word pronunciation and is not related to the narrator’s voice in the stories. For details on adjusting assistant voice settings, refer to the “Assistant Voice Settings” article.
11. Use the Streak for Motivation
Stay engaged daily with the Streak feature, which encourages consistent learning and helps maintain your momentum.
