Koine

Read a short Spanish passage, check words in context and come back to where you left off.

Free for iPhone and iPad. No account, advertising or analytics. The readings and explanations are included in the app and work offline.

A small starting library

Koine includes 6 Spanish readings, 24 words in context and 12 comprehension questions, across daily life, travel and stories. This is a small starting library, not a complete Spanish course.

The passages are in Spanish; word meanings and comprehension questions are in English. The interface is available in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French and Japanese.

How a reading works

  1. Read the passage. Move through its paragraphs and open word meanings in context when you need them.
  2. Try the word meaning in English. Write what you remember, reveal the supplied meaning and choose whether you remembered it, need more practice or did not know it.
  3. Answer two comprehension questions. Each has a fixed answer and an explanation.
  4. Continue later. Your confirmed answers and place in the lesson are saved locally, so you can reopen the lesson and resume.

The word check is a self-check. Koine does not grade your English wording, spelling or grammar. You compare your answer with the meaning and choose the result. There is no AI grading service.

Return to words you have checked

Studied words can become available for another check after at least 24 hours. The review list uses elapsed time and your previous results; it does not promise that every word will appear the next day. Try the meaning again before revealing it.

Word coverage and sources

The home screen also links to Word coverage and sources. This view estimates how much of a Spanish frequency corpus your word evidence covers, with an uncertainty range and the corpus attribution.

Coverage is an estimate about that corpus, not a reading level or a measure of grammar, idioms or overall comprehension. The proper-name setting makes that assumption visible.

Saved locally, without an account

Koine saves typed answers, self-check results, question choices and lesson progress in its local app storage. It makes no app network requests and does not send these records to us or to analytics or AI services. iOS system backups are separate and depend on your Apple and device settings.

Read the privacy details or the support guide for saving, resuming and retrying a failed save.
