New here? Start with one word

Hear English pronunciation the way people actually say it.

Look up a word, keep it, and train your ear on it — all on real YouTube speech, captioned and cued to the exact second.

Free, no account. Try colonel, queue, thorough.

Five parts, one habit

Hear a word → keep it → train your ear on it → say it like them → catch new ones while you read.

Free with an account · no limitsPro: what every word means

Library — keep what you looked up

Every word you searched, grouped by the site you were reading. Sort the ones that matter into folders.

  1. Sign in — your searches start landing in History by themselves.
  2. Save a clip’s word into a folder — as many folders and words as you like.
  3. Come back to any word and its clips in one click.

Daily: free with an accountPro: no daily limit

Dictations — train your ear

Captions hidden: hear a real moment, type the word, see exactly where your ear slipped. Slips come back until they stick.

  1. Daily — five new clips every morning.
  2. Endless — random words one after another, or dictate any YouTube video.
  3. My decks — built from the words you saved: one folder a day free, every folder with Pro.

Shadowing — say it like them

Hear a real line, say it back, and an AI tells you which sound gave you away — the “th”, the short “i”, a vowel you added.

  1. Daily — five lines every morning, free.
  2. Endless — 5 lines a day free, no limit with Pro.
  3. My decks — shadow the words you saved: one folder a day free, every folder with Pro.
