From Not Understanding
to Speaking Fluently

Learning English well is not about more content, but about deeper practice.

  • Practice with real audio that matches your level.
  • Understand meaning in thought groups and learn vocabulary in context.
  • Build input and language feel through listening and shadowing.
  • Use retelling to turn understanding into speaking.

Requires macOS 12+

Retell Paragraphs, Speak What You Hear

The final step that turns listening into speaking.

Listen to a passage, then retell with keyword cards. Three visibility levels — Hide All, Keywords Only, Show All — gradually reduce your reliance on prompts.

Choose your passage length. Start short, then work up to longer passages as confidence grows.
