Focus Mode is exactly what I was hoping for. The guided language learning approach makes it much easier to know what to do next and removes a lot of the friction. I also love the Learner Insights, Smart Subtitles and Expressions.

Is Reelang the best app to learn Esperanto?
It depends on where you are. If you’re starting from zero, a structured course app like Duolingo or Babbel is a good first step. Once you know the basics, from about A2, the hard part is understanding real people, and that’s what Reelang is for: real Esperanto videos at your level, with help when you need it. You can use both.
- Real Esperanto, not scripts: no actors and no textbook dialogues, just the way people actually talk.
- Always at your level: every clip is graded by level and speaking speed, and the feed adapts as you watch.
- Built for listening: most Esperanto apps teach words and grammar drills. Reelang trains your ear on real conversations.
Esperanto videos by level
Esperanto has real levels, like other languages. UEA has given official tests since 2008. A test center in Budapest checks them. Find videos at your level. Then try one level up.
Esperanto videos by topic
Pick a topic: talks from big events, language and politics, action to help the earth, travel, and daily videos from Esperanto groups.
How it works
Questions about learning Esperanto with Reelang
What is the best app to learn Esperanto with real videos?
Reelang is built for it: a free feed of real Esperanto videos from native speakers, graded by level, speaking speed and accent, that adapts as you watch.
How does Reelang find my level?
It starts you on easier clips and adjusts from what you follow, skip and look up. There’s no placement quiz.
What is the Reelang Esperanto watch page?
A TikTok-style feed of real Esperanto videos from native speakers, graded by level and speaking speed and tagged by accent. It learns from how you watch and keeps serving clips at your level.
What are videos you can understand?
Comprehensible input is Esperanto you can mostly understand, with a little that’s new. Linguist Stephen Krashen argued it’s how we acquire languages, and it’s the idea Reelang is built on.
Reelang takes it a step further with word frequency. It ranks every word in every video by how often it’s used in everyday Esperanto, and keeps track of which words you already know. So instead of videos that are only roughly your level, your feed picks the ones made of words you know, plus the most frequent words you haven’t learned yet. Comprehensible input, made for you.
Does Reelang explain the words in each video?
Tap any word for its meaning. With Reelang+, Learner Insights also explain the culture, idioms and slang behind a clip.
A few Esperanto words and phrases our explanations cover, from recent videos:
- samideano: a fellow Esperanto speaker — literally "same-idea person"
- Pasporta Servo: a worldwide, Esperanto-only free-lodging network — decades before Couchsurfing
- pluvi / plori: "to rain" and "to cry" — one letter apart, easy to swap mid-sentence
- planlingvo: "planned language" — Esperanto's own word for what it is
- fosmaŝino: "excavator" — literally "dig-machine," no borrowed word required
Why short videos from real people?
Short clips let you hear many more speakers, accents and situations in the same time, so your ear gets used to Esperanto as people actually speak it.
How does Reelang know if a video is too fast or too hard?
Every clip is analysed for how it’s spoken, not just which words it uses: speaking speed in words per minute, how often the speaker pauses, how many words come out between pauses, and how much of the clip is speech. With its vocabulary level, that lets the feed match both what you know and how fast you can follow.
What if I do not know a word?
Tap it to see the meaning. With Reelang+, you also get translations into your own language, and words you look up come back in new clips.
Which Esperanto words should I learn first?
The most common ones. Smart Subtitles show how common each word is, so you can tell which words are worth learning now.
Which levels does it have?
Beginner (A1) to Understands fast talk (C1). It works best from about A2 upward.
Do I need an account? Is it free?
The Esperanto feed is free and you can start without signing up. Reelang+ adds a personalized feed, translations into your own language and words that come back in new clips.
How is Reelang different from a normal language app?
Most apps teach with drills and scripted audio. Reelang trains listening on real Esperanto the way people actually speak it.
How much should I watch?
Little and often works best. A daily session you enjoy beats a long one you skip.
About this page
Videos you can understand in Esperanto
What are videos you can understand?
Videos you can understand means you watch things you understand most of. Then the parts you don't know become clear on their own. This works fast with Esperanto. One word you know can give you ten new words. Nobody sits down to study malvarmeta after they learn varma. You just know it.
Why real videos, not fake talk
Esperanto has this problem too. Most Esperanto learning videos are made by teachers, for lessons, and you can tell. Real Esperanto, at a big meeting like the Universala Kongreso, or in a gufujo late at night, has jokes and words like samideano that carry 100 years of history. Zamenhof wrote the first book about how the words fit together, in 1887. What people did with the language after that is the part lessons do not teach.
How to use this list of videos
Start with your level, then pick a how easy to follow you understand most of it. From there, see videos by subject based on what you want to work on. Reading Esperanto is often easier than listening to it. This list of videos helps with that. Start slow. Move up when you stop going back.
