User reviews

Puts Duolingo to shame

This app has improved my German more in two weeks of daily (it’s so cool) practice compared to 6 months of Duolingo. Highly recommend!

Excellent learning tool

A truly natural and effective way to learn a new language.

Incredible App!

Spending hours in French and Hebrew, my conversational skills are improving dramatically.

5 things I love about SonLerni

1. Wonderfully eclectic range of podcasts to listen to in your chosen foreign language, from pop culture to history to classic stories retold in that language.
2. The narration is highlighted on the page, so you get to see how each word is written as you hear it, helping to build your visual word recognition and reading skills alongside your listening comprehension
3. The AI Tutor aspect is huge. Click any highlighted phrase as you listen, and the tutor not only provides the literal English translation but offers to expand on the meaning based on the context it came from, how it’s typically used, and the nuances at play, I.e. giving a sentence a calm, matter-of-fact tone, a warmer, softer touch, or adding some emphasis for dramatic effect.
4. I love the “Similar Ways to Say It” feature. Curious how you might say the same thing in a more natural way, in a more formal setting, or with more color and expression, or simply in a way that sound La more neutral? SonLerni invariably has the answer for you.
5. You control the pace. Stop, pause, rewind, repeat, slow down the speed of narration, skip ahead; listen on your own schedule and in the manner that best works for you.

SonLerni makes the learning experience feel more natural and helps to give you insights you might never arrive at alone, without help. I grasped this after just a few minutes of playing with the app. I am sure you will too.

Amazing use of AI

This app has really nailed all the key functionality that has been missing in language learning apps. The ability to go straight into immersion learning, listening to native speakers talk and being able to stop and click on each word to understand it is a game changer. Can’t wait to see how this develops.
