HearBrew — Master English Listening, One Sentence at a Time Struggling to understand native English speakers? The problem isn't your vocabulary — it's that real speech comes in long, fast, complex sentences. HearBrew breaks YouTube videos into 15–30 second clips, each containing one natural sentence, so you can train your ear on real-world speech at your own pace. Swipe through clips like TikTok — a familiar, effortless way to learn during any spare moment: commuting, waiting in line, or before bed. How it works: • AI splits videos into bite-sized clips — one sentence per clip, the perfect unit for ear training • Set your target comprehension (e.g. 70%) — the app finds clips that challenge you just enough • Choose how many times each clip repeats — listen 2x, 3x, or more until you catch every word • Toggle subtitles on/off — start with subtitles, then try pure listening • Tap any word for pronunciation, definition, and translation AI that knows your level: • Every clip is difficulty-scored — from simple greetings to dense news commentary • The recommendation engine adapts to your listening ability in real time • Pick your interests: sitcoms, TED talks, news, podcasts, documentaries • Each session feels just right — not too easy, not overwhelming Track your progress: • Study streaks and daily heatmap • Vocabulary book of every word you've looked up • Watch history and favorites Submit your own videos: • Paste any YouTube URL — we process it into learning clips with subtitles, vocabulary highlights, and difficulty scoring • Free users get 100 clips/month, Pro members get 300+ Safety & content: • All video playback uses YouTube's official embedded player — no videos are downloaded or stored • Report inappropriate content or block users directly from the app Start learning immediately with no account required. Sign in anytime to sync your progress across devices. You can delete your account at any time from Profile settings. Pro features: • 300+ processed clips per month • Auto-play next clip for continuous immersion • Hide words you already know • Priority processing for your submissions HearBrew is designed for learners at any level — from beginner to advanced. Content is automatically matched to your ability so every session feels just right. Subscriptions: • Monthly Pro — $3.49/month • Annual Pro — $29.99/year (save 29%) • Lifetime — $59.99 one-time Or top up your clip balance with permanent credits that never expire.
