Count your way to fluency.
Literally.
We design language practice around authentic and great content we call topics.
You can think of them as articles or podcasts about things you’re passionate about.
Topics can be silly…
…or serious.
The bottom line is to make your practice based on topics you enjoy learning about.
…one word at the time. (yes we really do count every word)
Practice made for you.
Topics adapt content to the specific part of language you need to practice most.
Better than flashcards.
Star a word you don't understand, and we'll sneak it intelligently into the next topic for you to review.
Understandable for all.
To make topics understandable on all levels, Topics learns over time which words you already know, and adjusts the content to your linguistic level.
We’ve got quite a selection of cool topics✌️.
Play a trick on your mind. With many interesting topics, you'll forget you’re learning a language. We’re calling it runner’s high for learners.

FAQs
Topics is a platform that helps you learn languages, like Spanish, by focusing on real-world content we call topics.
We believe the best way to learn a language and stay interested is by engaging with topics you’re genuinely curious about, rather than just practicing on boring sample sentences.
That’s why we offer a variety of topics—from 'climate change' to 'psychology’, 'the Cold War' to 'Leonardo DaVinci'—to base your language practice on.
Topics is for anyone who’s been studying a language for a few months and has already learned the most essential words.
Eventually we’d love to offer Topics for novice students, too, but that will have to wait.
Learning a language with real topics like “climate change” or “the Cold War” for non-advanced students might seem paradoxical. Typically, most people learn in their first two years through boring sample sentences.
The challenge of bringing authentic content much earlier in the language learning journey is making it understandable for non-advanced students.
We write our stories for beginners using primarily the 500 most common words. Then, our app, Topics, learns over time which words you know and can further adjust the content to enhance your understanding.
The end result is that when you learn based on topics you are curious about, you will continue long after the novelty of learning a language wears off.
