Press play, type what you hear, and see your accuracy in under a minute. ▸ 11 LANGUAGES, ONE HABIT • Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Dutch and English • Switch languages anytime from the top bar • Every language has its own daily challenges and its own streak • Every language's daily challenges are free ▸ HOW IT WORKS • Press play to hear an everyday sentence read by a natural voice • Type exactly what you heard • Get instant, word-by-word accuracy • See which words you missed and replay the audio • Translate the sentence into your own language with one tap ▸ FAIR SCORING FOR EVERY LANGUAGE • Accents are optional — "cafe" counts for "café", and the correct spelling is still shown • German umlauts can be typed as ae, oe, ue • Japanese: type kana, kanji is not required • Korean: spacing is ignored, since you can't hear it • Chinese: type in Simplified or Traditional, with any pinyin or zhuyin keyboard; 他, 她 and 它 count as the same ▸ BUILD YOUR STREAK • One minute a day beats a long weekend cram • Keep a streak for each language and difficulty • Track your accuracy over weeks and months • Set a daily reminder at the time that suits you ▸ TWO DIFFICULTY MODES • Normal — everyday sentences at a comfortable pace • Hard — longer, faster sentences that stretch your vocabulary ▸ REVIEW YOUR MISTAKES • Words you missed are collected for you • Listen to them again and lock them in ▸ WHY DICTATION WORKS Most learners can read far more than they can understand out loud. Dictation closes that gap: every word you miss is one your ear skipped. It trains listening, vocabulary and spelling at once, and it's a focused warm-up for the listening part of exams like DELE, DELF, JLPT, TOPIK, HSK and IELTS. ▸ ATOMIC LEARNING PRO • Unlimited Hard Mode challenges • Replay every past challenge • Unlimited translations and retries • Unlimited review replays • One Pro unlocks all languages • Always ad-free Start small.
