GPLearning is a pronunciation-first English coach that listens to how you speak and scores you in real time. Built for learners who can read English but freeze when it’s time to talk, every lesson is designed around your voice, not multiple-choice taps. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Speak, don’t tap. Every drill asks you to say the word or sentence out loud. Apple’s on-device speech recognition compares what you said to the target and gives you a live score. • Works offline. Speech recognition happens entirely on your iPhone — no audio leaves your device, no account required, no subscription gates. • Vietnamese translations baked in. Every word and sentence shows its Vietnamese meaning, so you understand what you’re saying as you say it. 10 REAL-LIFE TOPICS Greetings · Food · Travel · Hotel · Hospital · Workplace · Supermarket · Anatomy · Pronunciation drills · Minimal pairs Each topic has three levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) and three lesson formats: 1. Speak the Word — build vocabulary by saying single words and getting an accuracy score. 2. Repeat After Me — practice full sentences with proper rhythm and stress. 3. Conversation — play one role in a realistic dialogue (ordering food, checking into a hotel, talking to a doctor, negotiating a deal). The app handles the other speaker’s lines while you respond aloud. WHY YOUR ENGLISH WILL SOUND BETTER • Targeted pronunciation modules for tricky sounds (th, r/l, ship/sheep, vowel length). • Minimal-pairs trainer to fix the small mistakes Vietnamese speakers most often miss. • 50 items per intermediate and advanced lesson, so a single category gives you hundreds of speaking reps. PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY • On-device speech recognition — your microphone audio is never sent to a server. • No analytics, no ads, no tracking, no sign-up. • No account, no email, no password. WHO IT’S FOR • Vietnamese learners of English at any level. • ESL students who can read but want to sound more natural. • Travelers, healthcare workers, hotel staff, and anyone preparing for real conversations in English. • Self-learners who want speaking practice without paying for a tutor. GET STARTED Pick a topic. Tap a lesson. Tap the mic. Say the word. See your score. Repeat. That’s the whole loop — and that’s how speaking actually improves. Questions or feedback? We read every message.

Learn Chinese from videos you actually want to watch. Mora turns Chinese YouTube videos, dramas, movies, podcasts, and local files into interactive Mandarin lessons. Generate synced Chinese-English captions, see Pinyin above Hanzi, tap any word for its meaning, and practice the exact language you just heard. WATCH CHINESE. UNDERSTAND MORE. Import content you enjoy and let AI transcribe the Mandarin audio into timed bilingual captions. Word-level highlighting follows playback, helping you connect natural Chinese speech with characters, Pinyin, and English meaning. READ HANZI WITH PINYIN Display Pinyin above Chinese characters while the video plays. Slow down difficult lines, repeat the current sentence, skip silent gaps, or hide captions when you are ready to test your listening. LOOK UP WORDS WITHOUT LEAVING THE VIDEO Tap a Chinese word or phrase to see its definition, pronunciation, and examples. Save useful vocabulary and sentences to Favorites so the expressions you meet in real videos do not disappear after the scene ends. ASK AI ABOUT ANY LINE Chat with AI using the video transcript as context. Ask what a sentence means, why a word is used, how the grammar works, or how to express the same idea naturally. TURN WATCHING INTO PRACTICE Create exercises directly from your Chinese captions, including multiple choice, cloze, sentence order, flashcards, dictation, and listening drills. Every question stays connected to the video you chose. A PLAYER BUILT FOR CHINESE LEARNERS - Synced Chinese-English captions - Pinyin displayed above Hanzi - Word-level playback highlighting - Sentence repeat, speed control, and silence skipping - Subtitle masking and Picture in Picture - Follow-along transcript with tap-to-lookup BRING YOUR OWN CONTENT Import from Files, Photos, YouTube, or the Share menu.
