Listen to Speak Step by Step
Every audio follows a complete listen-to-speak cycle with clear progress tracking.
Blind Listening
Listen without subtitles. Get the gist, then rate your comprehension and difficulty.
Sentence-by-Sentence Drilling
Replay each sentence. Reveal subtitles for tough parts. Bookmark sentences and save words.
Shadow Tough Sentences
Shadow your bookmarked sentences with subtitles. AI scores pronunciation in real time, with reps auto-adjusted by difficulty.
Paragraph Retelling
Choose your passage length, listen, then retell with keyword prompts in your own words.


Smart Reminders, Visible Progress
An 8-stage, 28-day cycle. The system schedules and reminds — you just show up and practice.
Review tasks are auto-scheduled with reminders. Practice when they're due — zero planning needed.
Daily study time and streak are tracked at a glance, helping you build a consistent habit.
After 28 days, material graduates. From initial learning to multi-round review, every stage has a clear status.
Thought Groups Make Sentences Clearer
Transcription, translation, and scoring — all automatic.
Subtitles are split by sense groups. Switch to "Larger Groups" mode to adjust granularity.
Tap to parse grammar or translate. Switch freely between analysis and translation views.
Record your shadowing for real-time AI scoring. Tough sentences auto-repeat until you nail them.


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.
