Glisten · The Language Player

Now you can learn by listening to podcasts in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, and many other languages. Glisten stands for “Good Listen”, and it's an app which helps you immerse in a language, on the path to becoming fluent. Those who have achieved fluency in a foreign language all have a secret — they listen a lot! The key to taking a step beyond the introductory apps is to start listening to real native speakers. Glisten can help immerse you in a foreign language, which is what you need to reach the next level, and have fun doing it! So how does it work? Glisten brings difficult conversations into focus. Instead of just pushing ahead, causing you to lose the thread, Glisten repeats each sentence. You get more time to digest what you hear, which helps you understand, and keeps you interested. Glisten is full of great foreign content from Apple Podcasts. Browse or search for a podcast, download an episode, and start a playback routine. It is like going to a gym for your ears! As your podcast episode plays, Glisten helps you understand the language. It might repeat a sentence a few times, then slow it down for you, and finally play it back at full speed, before moving on. You choose the level of support you need. You can also read along in the text, because Glisten automatically generates a transcript. There is no need to go searching on the internet for a PDF, Glisten produces the transcript for any piece of spoken audio.
