Truly understand English by listening first, then reading. DeepListen is an English learning app built around listening. With a learning flow of Blind Listening → Focused Listening → Deep Learning, you can identify what you actually missed and turn “I couldn’t catch that” into real listening comprehension. During sentence-by-sentence practice, the text stays hidden while you listen and appears only after the sentence ends, helping you identify the words you truly couldn’t hear or understand. What you learn is brought back through spaced review, while past sentences give you a chance to hear how much your listening has improved over time. Listening Mode also lets you keep practicing while walking, commuting, or exercising without constantly looking at your screen. From “I think I understood it” to “I can actually hear it.” Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
