Subscriptions are coming soon

The courses and the flashcard decks are not for sale yet. Everything that is free today stays free, and there is a lot of it — 261 single tales in full, the first 3 chapters of every course, the dictionary, and the story collections with a free account.

There is nothing to buy here yet — and nothing you can read today will stop being free when there is.

Until 25 November, the launch month: every course, flashcard deck and long work is open in full to anyone with a free account and a confirmed email. Make one.

You were reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Its first 3 chapters are open now. Go back to it.

When it opens, a subscription will add the remaining chapters of the 8 courses and 34 flashcard decks, and the 20 long works. That is all it will add.

You will make an account as part of paying — that is also what remembers your place on every device.
