regexlearn.com is a free, open-source platform that turns regular expressions from a black art into a skill you can pick up in an afternoon. Learn step by step in 21 languages, keep the cheatsheet nearby, and test your patterns live in the playground.

• Step-by-Step Learning: Interactive lessons that progress from the basics to advanced patterns, one small step at a time. Matches light up as you type, and your progress is saved in your browser.
• Courses: Two lesson tracks are available: Regex 101 for fundamentals and Regex for SEO for practical, search-focused usage.
• Cheatsheet: A concise summary of regex syntax with a live example for every entry.
• Playground: A private, browser-based sandbox to write and test regex patterns. Everything runs locally; nothing you type is sent to a server.
• Shortcut Friendly: Move through lessons, toggle flags, and reveal answers from the keyboard.
• Works Everywhere: Responsive on phones and tablets, with right-to-left support for Arabic and Persian.

Available in 21 languages:

Speak a language that isn't listed? Adding it is a single pull request: copy the en folder in src/localization/, translate the JSON files, and you've brought regex to every developer who reads in your language. Prefer to start a conversation first? Open an issue.

• English is the reference. Translate from src/localization/en and keep exactly the same keys in every file.
• Leave code as it is. Text between backticks (`[a-z]`, `OK`) is rendered as code; don't translate it, and keep every pair of backticks.
• Keep the line breaks. \n marks a line break inside a lesson text; keep it in the same place.
• Match the lesson. Each step asks the learner to type a specific answer, so a translated instruction must still lead to that exact answer.
