# Saluton: the Esperanto course app for your phone Source: https://esperantopedia.org/learn/app/ Language: en Updated: 2026-10-28 > Our Esperanto course as a phone app – 12 lessons step by step, real voices, pictograms, review, 1,000-word flashcards and one account with this site. **Saluton: Learn Esperanto** is the phone app of Esperantopedia. It has the 12 lessons of our [Esperanto course](https://esperantopedia.org/learn/course/), taught one step at a time, a review list for your mistakes and flashcards with the [1,000 most common words](https://esperantopedia.org/learn/common-words/). It uses the same account as this website, so your progress goes with you. - [Download on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/id6821067582?ppid=7af5cf28-4431-4bf1-89db-d32b7415a4ec) – iPhone with iOS 17 or later - Android – [The Android app is coming soon – join the test now](https://esperantopedia.org/android/) ![The course map: lessons as stops on a path](https://esperantopedia.org/apps/screens/en/map.webp) ![A new word: kafejo "café" with its pronunciation, a recording and a pictogram](https://esperantopedia.org/apps/screens/en/word.webp) ![The dialogue line by line, with the meaning of each word](https://esperantopedia.org/apps/screens/en/dialogue.webp) ![Build the word: kafejo from kaf-, -ej- and -o](https://esperantopedia.org/apps/screens/en/build.webp) ![Which word do you hear?

The lessons are the same as in the course on this website. The course starts with your first *Saluton!* "Hello!" and ends with reading a whole letter in Esperanto. The app shows one thing on the screen at a time: - the dialogue line by line – tap a line to see what its words mean; - new words one by one, each with its pronunciation, a recording and a pictogram; - quick questions after each set of words: "Do you remember?", "Which word do you hear?" and "Build the word" from its parts; - short explanations of the grammar; - exercises that check your answers: choose, type, build sentences from word tiles, pick the right ending and match pairs. Anything you get wrong comes back once more before the end of the lesson. If you stop halfway, the lesson remembers where you were. With *Read the whole lesson* you can also read it on one page, as on this website. ## What do the pictograms show? Esperanto builds words from a root and small parts: *sana* "healthy", *malsana* "ill", *malsanulejo* "hospital". In the app the picture stands for the root, the frame for the ending, and each added part changes the picture. You collect a pictogram for every root you learn, and the album shows how many you have. How to read them is explained on the [pictograms page](https://esperantopedia.org/learn/pictograms/). ## How does the review work? Every exercise item you get wrong goes to your review list. It comes back the next day, and after each right answer the gap grows – from days to weeks and months – until you know it. **Today** puts your reviews and flashcards for the day into one short session. When you are almost right, the app says what is missing – the accusative ending *-n*, a wrong ending or the hat on *ĉ*, *ĝ* or *ŝ*. You can type the special letters with one tap or use the x-system (*cx* → *ĉ*), explained on the [alphabet page](https://esperantopedia.org/learn/alphabet/). A daily reminder at a time you choose is optional, and so are the soft sounds – you can turn them off in a lesson or in More. ## Which words are on the flashcards? The flashcards hold the 1,000 most common Esperanto words, in order of frequency. Together they make up 78.4% of all words in the Esperanto sentences of Tatoeba, a corpus of 5.8 million words. Most cards have a recording from Wikimedia Commons, and words you know come back less often. The app shows how much of everyday Esperanto the words you know already cover. The same list is on this website as [flashcards](https://esperantopedia.org/tools/flashcards/) and as a [word list with downloads](https://esperantopedia.org/learn/common-words/). ## Can I learn with other people? Yes, with an account. In More → Community the app opens the community pages of this website, already signed in: your profile, friends and messages. Profiles and messages are for people aged 16 and over, and the [community guidelines](https://esperantopedia.org/community-guidelines/) apply. ## Do I need an account? No. The lessons, exercises and word list are inside the app, so they work offline, and without an account your progress stays on your phone. Pronunciation recordings come from Wikimedia Commons: the app downloads each one the first time you need it and keeps it on your phone, so recordings you have already heard also play offline. Signing in is optional: with your Google account or, on iPhone, your Apple Account. It is the same account as on this website. Your finished lessons, review list and flashcards then sync between the app, esperantopedia.org and your other devices. You can delete the account in the app (More → Account) or on the [account page](/account/). ## Which languages is the app in? The app is in 15 languages: English, Esperanto, Polish, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Dutch, Czech, Slovak and Ukrainian. The lessons, explanations, word meanings and buttons are all in your language. The app follows your phone's language, and you can change it at any time in More → Language. ## Is the app free? Yes. The app is free to download, with no ads and no in-app purchases. If you sign in or send us feedback from the app, we store the data described in our [privacy policy](https://esperantopedia.org/privacy/), which also covers the app. ## Sources - [Tatoeba – downloads of the sentence collection](https://tatoeba.org/en/downloads) - [Wikimedia Commons – Lingua Libre recordings of Esperanto words](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lingua_Libre_pronunciation-epo)
