1000 Words vs PhoneticSleep

You don't need 20,000 words. 1,000 is enough. The most common words of a language cover most of everyday conversation. 1000 Words teaches you exactly those – with a smart vocabulary trainer, audiobooks and videos that fit into your day. SMART TRAINER WITH SPACED REPETITION The trainer brings each word back right before you would forget it (SM-2). Practise with flashcards, typing, listening and speaking – your pronunciation is checked. Mix mode, a matching game and a timed blitz round keep it varied. One tap shows every word that is due today. AUDIOBOOKS – FOR THE COMMUTE OR FOR FALLING ASLEEP Calm vocabulary audiobooks with triple repetition: first the word in your language, then in the language you are learning. Listen in the car, on a walk or in bed. Reviewing before sleep is a good habit – sleep helps your memory keep what you practised during the day. VIDEOS WITH PICTURES AND EXAMPLE SENTENCES See, hear and repeat the 1000 most important nouns, verbs, adjectives and phrases – each with a picture, an example sentence and clear audio. MY WORDS – YOUR OWN DECKS Type any word: AI translates it and adds an example sentence. Build a deck for every language pair, share it with friends or discover decks from other learners. Import your own word lists (CSV, TXT, Excel or PDF) and turn them into personal videos and audiobooks. AI STORIES AT YOUR LEVEL Short stories written for your level (A1–C1), with audio. E-BOOKS, PDF WORD LISTS & QUIZZES Read along with e-books, print vocabulary lists and test yourself with quizzes. PROGRESS, STREAK & LEAGUE See what you have learned, keep your daily streak and climb the league. RELAX MODE Listen with calm background sounds such as rain, a fireplace or a quiet shoreline. 33 LANGUAGES, ANY COMBINATION English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Swahili, Afrikaans, Chinese, Japanese and Korean – over 1,000 language pairs.

PhoneticSleep uses targeted memory reactivation (TMR): you study a small set of sounds or words in the evening, the same items are replayed quietly during early sleep, and you test recall in the morning. Learning new material from scratch while asleep is not supported by the research. The night session therefore only ever replays what you already studied — nothing new is introduced while you sleep. HOW A NIGHT WORKS 1. Evening — drill a small set until you recall each item twice in a row. 2. Night — after a sleep-onset delay, the cued items replay quietly during the first sleep cycles, then stop. 3. Half held back — half of what you learned is never replayed. That half is your own control group. 4. Morning — cued and uncued items are scored separately, so you can see whether it worked for you. SOUNDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY SPEECH Every sound is synthesised on your device with a Klatt-style source–filter model: a glottal pulse train with natural jitter and shimmer, passed through resonators tuned to that phoneme's formants. Fricatives use a noise source placed where that sound's energy really sits. Stops are a silent closure, a burst, and — where the language has it — aspiration. Formant targets glide between neighbouring sounds, so a consonant leaves its trace on the following vowel. 8 LANGUAGES Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Turkish. REAL WORDS, REAL TRANSCRIPTIONS Word mode uses dictionary pronunciations from Wiktionary (via WikiPron), filtered to the sounds each language actually uses. Everything is bundled, so nothing needs a network connection at night. ALSO INCLUDED • Wake-up alarm that rings through Silent mode and Focus • Pronunciation check — say a word and the on-device recogniser tells you whether it was understood • Apple Watch sleep stages, read back the next morning to annotate your night • Optional binaural sound bed for masking room noise • Phoneme explorer with IPA symbols, formant data and example words • Progress view comparing cued against uncued scores across nights WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT CLAIM The published studies time each cue to a slow wave detected by EEG. An iPhone cannot read brain activity, so this app uses an open-loop schedule instead: a sleep-onset delay, then a bounded window during the first sleep cycles. Effects reported in the literature are modest and vary between people. Binaural beats are offered for comfort and masking; evidence that they improve memory consolidation is weak and mixed, and they are not part of the protocol. The in-app Evidence page lists the supporting studies and the limits in full. No account and no sign-in. Nothing you study leaves your device. A subscription unlocks all 8 languages and every feature. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
