## What is Language Island?

Language Island helps you say the exact thing you mean in another language.

Ask for a real-life phrase, compare natural wording, hear audio, save the card, and review it later. Instead of studying generic lessons, you build a personal phrasebook from the sentences you actually need.

Use Language Island to:

- Ask how to say a sentence naturally
- Compare wording, tone, and usage
- Hear phrases with natural audio playback
- Save useful lines to your library
- Practice hands-free with Shadowing Mode: hear each sentence, repeat it during the pauses, and keep going even when your phone is locked
- Review saved phrases with spaced repetition
- Follow starter guides and explore grammar
- Practice Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and more with Pro

Language Island is built for travel, daily life, family conversations, school, and work. Start with the sentence you need now, then keep the phrases that matter.

Free accounts can try Shadowing Mode with up to 3 phrases per session. Some features, including deeper grammar, full history, higher daily access, all supported languages including Swedish, unlimited shadowing phrases, and expanded review, require Pro.
