Learn Malay and English by reading — bilingual households on Lattuce
Learn Malay and English with Lattuce Learner — bilingual reading, graded texts, and vocabulary review on lingo.lattuce.app.
Many Lattuce households read Malay news or papers while writing in English — or study Arabic, German, or other languages on the same server. Lattuce Learner (Lingo at lingo.lattuce.app) handles daily reading and vocabulary; Writer handles manuscripts and citations.

How reading works in Learner
Studying a foreign language
Paste, web links, books, YouTube, and subtitles in a foreign language open with full tools — tap to save words, browse Vocabulary, and use Review.
English books for pleasure
If English is your native language, English EPUB or PDF uploads can open in read-only mode — fine for leisure reading without vocabulary drills.
Graded library
When your admin adds level-graded texts, the hub can surface stories slightly above your comfort zone so you grow without hunting for every article yourself.
Smart “read next” suggestions work best when your admin enables recommendation features; simple rules still help when those are off.
A common Malaysian lab workflow
- Writer — literature review and Word export in English (literature review guide).
- Translation workflow — collaborative Malay/English work on manuscripts (collaborative translation guide).
- Learner — daily Malay reading and vocabulary on lingo.lattuce.app.
Learner is for your personal word list and review. Professional translation projects stay in the translation tools — they complement each other.
Keeping data in Malaysia
Families and labs that choose Lattuce for local data residency often run Writer, Learner, and Notes on lattuce.app. Reading history and vocabulary stay on that machine — unlike a hosted reader subscription.
Broader context: Data residency for Malaysia labs.
