Reading

Clew is an English learning app that uses short stories combined with native‑speaker audio to teach language in context. Users select a book, read the text while listening to the narration, and can tap words or sentences for on‑demand translation. After each excerpt, brief questions reinforce comprehension and vocabulary. The approach relies on extensive reading and comprehensible input, emphasizing natural exposure rather than isolated flashcards or repetitive drills.
