Shadow a native speaker — not after them, at the same time. Language Mirror is a shadowing app for Korean and English learners. You import real audio, clip the phrases that matter, and speak simultaneously with the recording until your pronunciation stops being a translation and starts being a reflex. This is not listen-then-repeat. This is simultaneous shadowing — the method used by interpreters, polyglots, and serious language learners to internalize rhythm, intonation, and natural cadence. Language Mirror is built around it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import audio from files, video, recordings, or the Share Sheet. 2. Create clips — select the exact phrases you want to shadow. 3. Shadow and speak — loop each clip and speak along at the same time as the native speaker. 4. Use Progression mode to automatically ramp from slow to natural speed across repeats — progressive overload, applied to your ear and your mouth. 5. Track your progress — play counts and position are saved per clip so you pick up where you left off. PROGRESSION MODE Start slow. End natural. Progression mode automatically ramps playback speed across repeats so you can shadow comfortably at first, then gradually match a native speaker's real pace. This is the arc: slow shadowing → comfortable shadowing → full-speed shadowing → fluency. BUILT FOR FOCUS - Clean, calm interface with minimal distractions - No feed, no streaks, no social pressure - Transcript alignment shows timed text as you shadow - Favorites and quick-resume from the Practice tab FOR KOREAN & ENGLISH LEARNERS Whether you're an English speaker drilling Korean drama clips or a Korean speaker shadowing English podcasts — Language Mirror is built for you. Bring your own material: K-drama clips, podcast segments, lecture recordings, song verses — anything with audio becomes a shadowing exercise. Works with any language. Korean and English are where we start. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Fully offline after import - No account required - No data collection - Everything stays on your device

Practice the German you need for real life—before you need to say it. HalloGerman Coach is a real-life survival German conversation app for people preparing to move, study, work, travel, or settle in Germany. Go beyond memorizing vocabulary and grammar by listening and speaking through situations you may encounter in everyday German life. REAL-LIFE SURVIVAL CONVERSATIONS Practice useful German phrases and dialogues for finding a home, work, doctors, pharmacies, public offices, shopping, restaurants, public transport, and travel. Learn language for everyday questions as well as essential situations when you need help quickly. LEARNING FOR YOUR LEVEL Choose your current German level and goal, then begin with suitable content. Progress from basic expressions for beginners to more natural everyday conversations. LISTENING AND SPEAKING PRACTICE Listen to German sentences and say them aloud. Compare the speech recognition result with the target sentence to see which words were recognized and what to practice again. SMART VOCABULARY AND SENTENCE REVIEW Save important words and sentences and review them with spaced repetition. Revisit expressions you tend to forget and build practical German vocabulary over time. WRITING AND CUSTOM SITUATIONS Practice writing with everyday German sentences and email examples.

Learning progress is stored on your device by default, and speaking practice uses the operating system’s speech recognition. When you use optional AI features, text you enter may be sent to the external AI service you select. Prepare for the moments when you need the right words in Germany. Start with one practical sentence a day and turn the German you study into German you can use. • Some features require an internet connection or microphone permission. • The app may contain advertising. • Life-related content is provided for language learning and general information and does not replace professional legal, medical, or financial advice.
