Problem: Learning languages is a difficult process that requires hard work no matter if you choose the academic way or to use existing apps. It also requires continuity, a key factor which is hard to achieve with the available methods.

Solution: We want to change that by combining the learning experience with the pleasure of reading and listening to a book. A large number of book translations is available, but we think they're being underutilized for this purpose.

Progress: We built a tool that matches human translated paragraphs from ebooks in all European languages and a novel interface to read them. Now we are focusing on adding more books and more engaging features.

Market: Language learning and publishing

Team: We are two developers, both with product management experience living in Berlin.

Feedback: we got amazing feedback so far (https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/comments/3x2tux/paralleltextio_improve_your_knowledge_of_foreign/)
