## What is Couplet?

Couplet teaches you a language the way you learned your first one: by ear.

Instead of flashcards and grinding streaks, you just listen. Each card plays a natural English sentence, then its translation — again and again — until the sounds, rhythm, and meaning sink in on their own. Tap any word to see what it means, hear it, and lock it in.

Now teaching French and Japanese, with more languages on the way. For Japanese, every sentence shows furigana over the kanji, so you always know how to read it.

WHY COUPLET IS DIFFERENT
• Listen-first. Real, natural sentences spoken at a human pace — not robotic word lists.
• Finishable decks. Every topic is a finite set you can actually complete and seal. Progress you can feel, not an endless treadmill.
• No streaks, no guilt. Learn on your own schedule. Nothing punishes you for taking a day off.
• Word-dive dictionary. Tap a word for its meaning, pronunciation, an example, and a memory hook.
• Follow along. Words highlight in time with the audio so your eyes and ears learn together.
• Learn hands-free. Background play lets you listen while you walk, cook, or commute.
• Offline. Download a deck and listen anywhere — no signal needed.

BUILT AROUND HOW LISTENING ACTUALLY WORKS
Couplet covers the phrases that matter — greetings, ordering food, small talk, telling the time, directions, and dozens more everyday topics — each built to about 90% real-world coverage. Pick your language, start with the free decks, no account required.

COUPLET PRO
Unlock every topic with Couplet Pro — hundreds of decks across every category, in every language we support, yours to listen to as much as you like. Available monthly, annually, or as a one-time lifetime unlock.

Meet Pip, your listening companion. Press play, and let your new language find its way in.
