Practise in another language

Spell in one language, read the meanings in another — the setup that makes Spelly work for language learners.

⏱️ 2-minute read · 14 languages

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.

🌍 A common setup: practice language Spanish, definition language English, app language English — the child spells in Spanish and understands every hint.

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.
