Listen to real podcasts, build real fluency

Bilingual subtitles follow every sentence. Tap a word to look it up, let AI untangle the tricky sentences, and review every word before you forget — all with the shows you already want to hear.

01 · Listen

Follow every sentence

Each episode is transcribed sentence by sentence with a translation in your native language. The current sentence lights up as it plays — down to the exact word — so your eyes follow your ears.

  • Sentence- and word-level highlighting with auto-scroll
  • Bilingual / original / translation / off, plus four text sizes
  • Single-sentence loop and A-B repeat for tough lines
02 · Look up

Tap a word, get it instantly

Tap any word in the subtitles: a dictionary card pops up and playback pauses automatically. Close it and the audio continues. A built-in dictionary is included, and you can import MDict dictionaries such as Oxford for full definitions, examples, and native audio.

  • Auto-pause, resume on close
  • Import MDict dictionaries (iOS / Android / macOS)
  • Add to your vocabulary with the sentence it came from
03 · Ask

Let AI untangle long sentences

Tap ✦ on a subtitle line and AI breaks the sentence down — grammar, key words, natural expressions — streaming as it writes. Ask follow-up questions, and save anything useful as a note.

  • Explain a whole sentence or a selected phrase
  • Streams as it writes; ask follow-ups
  • Save as a note and revisit it alongside your words
04 · Keep

Looked up once, kept for you

Every word you look up lands in your vocabulary book with phonetics, a definition, and the sentence it came from. Due reviews, progress, a streak calendar, and the next 7 days of reviews — all on one page.

  • New → learning → mastered, shown in a progress ring
  • A streak calendar logs the words you add and review each day
  • Jump from any word back to its original sentence
05 · Review

Meet again, before you forget

Flashcards are generated on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. The front shows the word and pronunciation; flip it for the definition and the sentence it came from.

  • Three-level self-rating: forgot / fuzzy / know it
  • Your rating sets the next review date
  • The context sentence is a built-in example
