A quiet Sunday in the city
My friend and I wanted coffee before we went to the park. We walked to a small street near the river.
The café looked nice, but it was very crowded. There were no free tables, so we tried another place.
The second café was calmer. We sat by the window and read for an hour.
adj. full of people — there is not much room to move or sit.
Reading in English shouldn't feel this discouraging
The problem was never that reading "doesn't work"—it's that every page is full of friction and frustration, until you'd rather just close the book.
Flow-breaking context switches
Jumping between your reader and dictionary app shatters concentration. The learning flow you just built disappears instantly.
Scattered, messy content
English ebooks scattered across different readers and folders—time-consuming to find, impossible to manage in one place.
Which of the 10 meanings is right?
Traditional dictionaries list multiple senses but leave you guessing. Worse, the definitions themselves are often harder than the word—C2 vocabulary explaining B1 terms makes you more confused, not less.
More time hunting for books than reading
Finding the "right" material becomes its own project. Without an easy first win, motivation fades before the reading habit ever forms.
Read beyond your level, understand every word
Based on the i+1 comprehensible input theory: you don't need "harder" material—you need input that's just within reach. Sentia keeps every explanation in your zone of understanding, not confusion.
Open the app and just start reading
The hardest part of learning English isn't finding better material or methods—it's starting, and sticking with it. SentiaRead comes with a shelf of beautifully designed books, including approachable originals like The Weekend. No setup, no hunting around: open the app, begin on page one, and let those first finished chapters build the momentum to keep going.
Listen and read — immersive podcast learning
Podcasts display sentence-by-sentence subtitles synced to audio playback. Look up any word instantly, translate any sentence on the spot, and jot down notes whenever inspiration strikes.
AI definitions tuned to your level
Traditional dictionaries force you to guess the right sense. SentiaRead analyzes the surrounding context and adapts explanations to your proficiency (A1-C2) so every definition lands—this is true i+1 comprehensible input. And if an explanation ever feels too hard, your native-language translation is one tap away—you never get stuck on a word.
Visual memory reinforcement
Words marked as "learning" are highlighted automatically across everything you read. Repeated exposure in authentic contexts helps the vocabulary stick.
Bring every resource together
Import EPUB ebooks, web articles, or podcast shows, and manage your English learning materials in one elegant interface. PDF and YouTube transcription coming soon.
Seamless sync across devices
Your progress, highlights, and vocabulary lists sync seamlessly across Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android—including E-Ink devices. Every change follows you instantly—pick up where you left off on any device.
Sentia — from the Latin sentire, "to perceive"
Think in English — starting from your level
Relying on translation quietly becomes a habit—you remember the native-language gloss, not the English itself. SentiaRead explains English in English, but always tuned to your level (A1–C2), so every explanation stays within reach instead of becoming a new obstacle. And when a word still won't click, the translation is one tap away. You're never stuck—just gradually learning to think in the language itself.
