## What is LingoPhrase?

Watch movies and TV clips and use dictation to lock English listening and speaking into your brain — for real.

LingoPhrase is an English learning app built on dictation over real movie clips. Every card is authentic native audio from films, TV shows, and talks. You watch, listen, and type — and you can only swipe to the next clip once you've passed the dictation. It's as addictive as scrolling short videos, yet you build listening, memorize words, and pick up natural speech without even noticing.

Say goodbye to word lists you forget. In LingoPhrase, every word comes from a real scene, and every line is spoken by a real person.

WHY LEARN ENGLISH WITH LINGOPHRASE

■ Dictation-driven, active not passive
You don't just listen — you write. Dictation is the most effective intensive-listening method, forcing you to catch every linked sound, weak form, and dropped syllable.

■ Smart blanks tuned to your level
From Primary, Middle, and High school to CET-4, CET-6, and Postgraduate — pick your level and the app blanks out the right words for you. Easy words are shown; the ones worth practicing are the ones you type. Just the right difficulty, so you never feel defeated.

■ A daily plan set by the algorithm
A forgetting-curve algorithm works out how much to review and how many new words to learn each day, bringing back the words you mishear and misspell exactly when you should review them. Clear today's queue and you're done — a wrap-up page sums up your performance and previews tomorrow, and reminders arrive only when words are actually due.

■ Search any phrase, see how it's really said
Curious how a word or phrase is actually used? Search it and instantly see the real movie and TV clips it appears in, spoken aloud by native speakers. More vivid than any textbook example.

■ Subtitle translation + tap-to-look-up dictionary
Look up words and meanings any time during dictation with the built-in dictionary, and translate subtitles into your own language to decode tough lines in a second.

■ Native audio + adjustable speed
Everything is real native audio, not text-to-speech. Slow it down when it's hard, then shadow the intonation to build a natural accent.

■ Instant feedback that keeps you hooked
Every line shows your accuracy, plus how many users you beat and how few people caught a tricky word — turning practice into a rewarding challenge.

■ Made for iPad, too
In landscape the video fills the screen with your line centered over it. In portrait, translation, speed, and feedback move into the top bar. Search results spread across a multi-column grid, so you see more clips at once.

WHO IT'S FOR
- Fans who want to watch movies and shows without leaning on subtitles
- Students prepping for CET-4/6, postgraduate exams, IELTS, or TOEFL who want to break through on listening
- Learners chasing natural speaking and pronunciation
- Anyone who finds rote vocabulary too boring to stick with
- Busy people who want to train their ears in spare moments
