Frequently asked questions

What is a bilingual audiobook?

An audiobook that alternates between a language you know and the language you are learning, so you hear each sentence in both. On bibooks the text is on screen too, highlighted in sync with the audio, so you can read along as you listen.

Which languages can I learn with bibooks?

bibooks supports 49 languages, including many that the big language apps do not offer, such as Tamil, Bengali, Urdu, Thai and Icelandic. You can pair any two of them, in either direction.

Is bibooks free to use?

Yes. A free account can create audiobooks every month, and new accounts also get a one-time welcome allowance. No card is needed to sign up.

What can I turn into a bilingual audiobook?

Paste your own text, upload a TXT, DOCX, PDF or EPUB file, or import a public-domain book from Project Gutenberg. You can also have AI write an original story for you. See how to make a bilingual audiobook, step by step.

Can I get stories written at my level?

Yes. The AI story generator writes original stories at the level you choose, from complete beginner (A1) upward, and turns them into bilingual audiobooks.

How does the read-along text work?

The reader shows each sentence in both languages and highlights the one being spoken as the audio plays, so you never lose your place. Tap any sentence to jump the audio straight to it.

Can I listen to audiobooks without making my own?

Yes. The public library holds bilingual audiobooks shared by other learners, from classic literature to original stories, and anyone can listen and read along without an account.
