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

SayHo

SayHo turns real Korean YouTube videos into speaking practice. Most apps teach you sentences nobody says. SayHo starts from video made for Korean speakers cafés, conversations, everyday talk and turns three sentences at a time into something you can actually say out loud. START BY READING If you can't read Hangul yet, start there. Five days, a few letters at a time, with a short test at the end. It's free, and it stays free. A DAILY COURSE After the alphabet there's a path: one day at a time, each built around two or three expressions you'll actually use. Watch a video, read it aloud to the camera, then talk for a minute about something the day set up. Beginner, intermediate and advanced. Every three days a review stands in the way: five questions built from the days you just did — speak the line, build the sentence, choose the meaning. Get one wrong and it comes back at the end. Clear it and the next day opens. The first week is free. HOW A LESSON WORKS Watch. A short clip with subtitles, played back sentence by sentence. Tap a sentence. See what it means, hear it, and save any word worth keeping. Tap a word to break it down — what each piece is doing in the sentence. Speak it back. Say the line yourself. SayHo listens and tells you how you did, then moves you on. That's the loop. Three sentences, a few minutes, every day. WHAT YOU KEEP Every word you save becomes something to practise: • Flashcards - swipe through what you're learning • Match - pair words with meanings against the clock • Quiz - multiple choice drawn from your own vocabulary Words are grouped into folders you make, so a set from one video stays together. All of it is free. MORE WAYS TO PRACTISE • 1-Min Speaking - a topic, sixty seconds, and feedback on what you said. • Sentence Builder - build a sentence one phrase at a time, speaking each piece, until you can say the whole thing from memory. • Read aloud - record yourself reading a passage to the camera, watch it back, and see how much of it came out: the right words, all of them, and your pace. PICKS A small set of videos chosen for clear speech and accurate captions — the two things shadowing depends on. Free to study. SAYHO PRO Free gets you: the whole Hangul course, the first week of the daily course, the first three rounds of any video in Picks, all your vocabulary and every way of practising it, and five AI helps a day. Pro adds: • Your own YouTube videos- paste any link and SayHo builds the lesson • The daily course past week one, in every level • Every round of every video • Scanning words from a photo of a textbook page • AI help without a daily limit Monthly or yearly, with a 3-day free trial. Practice recordings stay on your device. SayHo never uploads them.
