Is parallel reading free?

Yes. Turkish-English parallel reading is completely free and ad-free. No account or app download is needed; just open a chapter and press the "Parallel (EN)" button.

Which translations are shown side by side?

The Turkish text comes from the site's own Kadıköy Kilise Translation (KK) and the English from the public-domain World English Bible (WEB). You can change the primary translation from the reading page.

Can you really learn English by reading the Bible?

Reading a text whose meaning you already know in the target language is one of the most natural ways to learn vocabulary and sentence structure from context. Working with familiar verses reduces reliance on the dictionary and makes what you learn stick.

Can I share the parallel link?

Yes. When you turn on parallel mode, the address-bar link is marked with ?paralel=1; if you share it, the other person also opens the chapter directly in parallel mode. Your preference is remembered on your device as well.

Do my highlights and notes work in parallel mode?

Yes. Verse highlighting, favorites and notes keep working on the Turkish line in parallel mode too. The English line is kept plain (no actions) so it is easy on the eyes.

Learn English by reading the Bible

Read the Turkish and English translations side by side, verse by verse. With passages whose meaning you already know, you pick up English words, patterns and sentence structure naturally — not a lesson, just reading.
