Repeat After Me teaches you a language the way you learned your first one β€” by hearing real sentences and saying them out loud. Ears first, from the very first minute. Pick the language you speak and the one you want to learn, choose a topic, and listen: the app reads real sentences aloud, then pauses so you can repeat them β€” or recall the translation yourself before it's revealed. Rate yourself, and tricky phrases come back until they stick. It's built for eyes-free practice: on a walk, on your commute, or with the screen off. LANGUAGES β€’ Italian, German, English, French and Spanish β€” in any direction (20 pairs) β€’ The app speaks your language too: fully localized in all five THREE WAYS TO PRACTICE β€’ Sentences β€” 900+ everyday phrases in 17 practical topics: greetings, shopping, restaurant & cafΓ©, directions & transport, work, health, small talk, and more β€’ Words β€” 676 essential words in 17 categories: body, kitchen, food, clothing, numbers, days, animals, travel, health, work. The vocabulary sentences assume you already know, with nouns taught together with their article so you learn the gender from the start β€’ Dialogues β€” illustrated conversations in the cafΓ©, at the bakery, on the train HOW YOU LISTEN β€’ Two modes: Listen & Translate, or Active Recall (produce it before you hear it) β€’ "Slow first" listening and adjustable pauses to match your pace β€’ Everything tracks what you know vs. what you're still learning TRAIN IT, THEN TEST IT β€’ Listen & React β€” a comprehension game: hear a line from a real situation and choose the right reply.
