Practise in another language
Spell in one language, read the meanings in another — the setup that makes Spelly work for language learners.
The three language settings
Practice language — the language of the words themselves, and the voice that reads them. Set it in ⚙️ Settings or from Language in the bottom bar.
Definition language — the language definitions and examples are written in. Set this to your child's first language while they practise a new one, and every meaning stays understandable.
App language — the buttons and menus of Spelly itself. Independent of the other two.
Supported languages
🇺🇸 English · 🇮🇱 Hebrew · 🇸🇦 Arabic · 🇪🇸 Spanish · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇵🇹 Portuguese · 🇷🇺 Russian · 🇨🇳 Chinese · 🇹🇭 Thai · 🇰🇷 Korean · 🇲🇲 Burmese · 🇯🇵 Japanese
Each one is read aloud by a real text-to-speech voice, and Hebrew and Arabic lay the whole app out right-to-left.
Common questions
Can one account practise two languages?
Yes. Switch the practice language whenever you like; lists remember the language they were made in, so a Spanish list keeps its Spanish voice.
Is a keyboard for another alphabet needed?
Not necessarily — Spelly's Build It and Fill the Gap modes give you the letters. For Type It in a different script, your device's own keyboard is what types it.
