Introduction

SynchroTales is the next generation language toolkit, designed for engaging with text-based, audio, and visual media across many languages. Our goal is to increase access to foreign language learning resources, and provide tools which empower users to build rich learning experiences catered to any learning style.

While many language apps prescribe a set of lessons or a specific order in which to learn words and grammar, SynchroTales takes a different approach. Our philosophy is that while each individual learner is different, most seek to immerse themselves in materials native to the language they're learning as quickly as possible. So rather than administering a specific learning strategy, SynchroTales provides access to a suite of tools designed to facilitate understanding of foreign language media, and help users reach the flow state where real learning happens. With SynchroTales, you can enjoy content you love in any language, and choose your own learning adventure!
