You can learn a language without looking at your phone. Papolang lessons are short spoken conversations. You listen, you say them out loud, and you start speaking from the very first lesson — walking the dog, on the bus, cooking dinner, at the gym. Phone in your pocket, screen off. WHY IT STICKS Real conversations, not word games. Every lesson is built from the kind of thing people actually say to each other, so what you learn is what you'll use. Say it out loud. Repeating a phrase aloud is what turns it from something you recognise into something you can actually reach for mid-sentence. Come back at the right moment. Papolang brings each phrase back just as you are about to forget it. That is the moment repetition does its work, and it is why things stay put. Twenty minutes a day is enough. TAUGHT IN A LANGUAGE YOU ALREADY KNOW Learning Spanish and you speak French? Picking up German and you speak Arabic? Papolang teaches you in a language you are already comfortable in, so explanations land the first time and nothing gets lost on the way through English. Nine languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese — and you can learn any of them starting from any of the others.

Welcome audio now has a speed button. Downloaded lessons update themselves quietly when we improve them. Subscribers no longer see Papo-Credits on the course they pay for. Plus many fixes. ### 1.5.2 — 2026-09-08 Japanese is here(lessons are being added) — the app now speaks ten languages. • Lock screen controls on iPhone: play, pause and skip without unlocking. • Time you spend listening with the screen off now counts towards your daily goal. Reviews done as audio count too. • A lesson you finish now leaves your queue straight away, and stays gone. • Study text: tap to select a single word, and long lessons no longer lose everything after the first line. • Downloads: a Downloads screen in Settings, "Download all" actually finishes, cancelling works, and downloads are grouped by course. • You stay signed in. Locking your phone no longer ends your session. • Your streak no longer reads zero just because you were offline. • The lesson-done screen waits for you instead of jumping to the next lesson after ten seconds. • Home shows the level you are actually on. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-02 Study offline. Premium subscribers can now download lessons to the phone and keep learning with no connection — audio lessons and written reviews alike, including transcripts, flashcards and their audio. Your queue, your progress and your streak all keep working on a plane. A queue you control. See what's coming next on Home, reorder it, download individual lessons or the whole queue, and remove downloads you're finished with. Dozens of fixes, most of them found on real devices: sessions no longer drop when you lose signal, progress made offline is saved and syncs when you're back, and the player, reviews and store screens all behave sensibly without a connection. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-29 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Papolang | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Jangu Adlam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jangu-adlam/id1492655306) | 4.9 (92) | Free | Education | | [Global Bible Tools](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/global-bible-tools/id6749404435) | 4.9 (11) | Free | Education | | [French Sound and Alphabet Easy](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/french-sound-and-alphabet-easy/id1078128758) | 3.8 (88) | $2.99 | Education | | [Poker Academy: Learn GTO poker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/poker-academy-learn-gto-poker/id1626050814) | 5.0 (7) | Free | Education | | [Monstera - Plant guide](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/monstera-plant-guide/id1466838845) | 3.0 (2) | Free | Education | | [Le Monde: Learn a language](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/le-monde-learn-a-language/id649884412) | 4.6 (12) | Free | Education | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
