InPassing

Learn a language without finding time to learn a language.

You were going to read the news anyway. The forum thread. That novel. InPassing weaves the language you're learning into all of it. The minutes you already spend reading quietly become the minutes you spend learning.

Coming soon to iPhone & Mac

InPassing is not available to download yet. No account. No lessons. Nothing to keep up with.

Your reading, with the language woven in

Browse any website or open any DRM-free book. English stays right where it is. The translation arrives alongside it, passage by passage.

English stays in place, with French directly beneath each sentence.

Choose a reading mode. Tap the speaker to hear a full sentence, or tap any word to hear it on its own.

Learn the way the rest of the world does

People around the globe pick up English naturally by watching movies and browsing websites they actually enjoy. It works because the content is genuinely interesting.

Meanwhile, traditional language apps trap you into repeating rigid phrases about finding the library. It is boring, and it rarely sticks.

InPassing brings that natural, interest-driven immersion to you. By translating the articles and books you already want to read, your daily browsing becomes your daily practice.

Why it works when lessons don't stick

Zero extra time

No lesson to schedule and no course to fall behind on. The exposure rides on reading you were already doing.

Content you actually care about

Forget textbook dialogues. Read your favorite sites, subreddits, and books. Interest does the remembering for you.

Read it, hear it

Natural narration reads passages in both languages, and a tap pronounces any word you're curious about.

Grows with you

Start with full English support. As words become familiar, easier passages begin in your new language, always one tap from the original.

Built for privacy from the ground up

Your reading habits stay completely private.

  • Translation happens securely on your device. Your pages and books never leave your screen.
  • No account or profile required. Your reading history is stored exclusively on your own devices.
  • Optional sync runs through your private iCloud. We only sync your progress, never your reading material.
  • Transferring your hard-earned streak from apps like Duolingo? Pro screenshot imports are processed entirely on-device and discarded the moment you confirm.
  • Every piece of personalization can be reset or erased, and your imported books always survive.

Start today. Or rather, don't start anything.

Just keep reading. That's the whole method.
