PGLearning

Read full description

GPLearning is a pronunciation-first English coach that listens to how you speak and scores you in real time. Built for learners who can read English but freeze when it’s time to talk, every lesson is designed around your voice, not multiple-choice taps. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Speak, don’t tap. Every drill asks you to say the word or sentence out loud. Apple’s on-device speech recognition compares what you said to the target and gives you a live score. • Works offline. Speech recognition happens entirely on your iPhone — no audio leaves your device, no account required, no subscription gates. • Vietnamese translations baked in. Every word and sentence shows its Vietnamese meaning, so you understand what you’re saying as you say it. 10 REAL-LIFE TOPICS Greetings · Food · Travel · Hotel · Hospital · Workplace · Supermarket · Anatomy · Pronunciation drills · Minimal pairs Each topic has three levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) and three lesson formats: 1. Speak the Word — build vocabulary by saying single words and getting an accuracy score. 2. Repeat After Me — practice full sentences with proper rhythm and stress. 3. Conversation — play one role in a realistic dialogue (ordering food, checking into a hotel, talking to a doctor, negotiating a deal). The app handles the other speaker’s lines while you respond aloud. WHY YOUR ENGLISH WILL SOUND BETTER • Targeted pronunciation modules for tricky sounds (th, r/l, ship/sheep, vowel length). • Minimal-pairs trainer to fix the small mistakes Vietnamese speakers most often miss. • 50 items per intermediate and advanced lesson, so a single category gives you hundreds of speaking reps. PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY • On-device speech recognition — your microphone audio is never sent to a server. • No analytics, no ads, no tracking, no sign-up. • No account, no email, no password. WHO IT’S FOR • Vietnamese learners of English at any level. • ESL students who can read but want to sound more natural. • Travelers, healthcare workers, hotel staff, and anyone preparing for real conversations in English. • Self-learners who want speaking practice without paying for a tutor. GET STARTED Pick a topic. Tap a lesson. Tap the mic. Say the word. See your score. Repeat. That’s the whole loop — and that’s how speaking actually improves. Questions or feedback? We read every message.
