Language Reactor - PlayLingo

Store description excerpt

You know the words. Real speech still gets away from you. Sound familiar? Fast. Blurred together. Half the sounds gone. PlayLingo turns any YouTube video into practice: understand every line, then say it yourself. Subtitles, translation, explanations, shadowing and word review. WHO IT'S FOR • You read English fine, but listening is the one skill that won't move • You want to keep up shadowing but quit after three days • You want to follow your favorite YouTubers, shows and interviews without pausing for a dictionary • You learn a language other than English: same app, same method WATCH: any video becomes your material • Any YouTube video. Plus curated picks refreshed every day • Collections by level, A1 to C2, and by topic. Shelves like "Start here" and "6 minutes or less" UNDERSTAND: one sentence at a time, never left behind • Subtitles split by sentence and synced with the video • Phonetic transcription, so you see how a word actually sounds • Parts of speech in color, so the shape of a sentence is visible at a glance • Translation in context: what the line means in this scene • Tap a word or an idiom and Lingo, your assistant, explains it in this sentence. "Make sure" is explained as one phrase, not two words PRACTICE: five ways to watch the same video • Watch: subtitles and translation on, follow along • Understand: translation hidden, work out the meaning yourself • Listen: text hidden, catch the line by ear. Tap only the word you missed • Build: put the line back together from its words • Speak: say each line out loud. Words light up as you say them • Even videos in your own language work: you study their translation into the language you're learning REMEMBER: words come back before you forget them • Save words and phrases straight from the subtitles • Review runs on FSRS, a spaced-repetition algorithm timed to your memory • Every card keeps the scene and the sentence where you heard the word • A Home Screen widget with your word of the day KEEP GOING • Three minutes of watching or one round of practice counts as a study day • Your streak comes with freezes that cover a missed day on their own • Sign in with Apple and your words and progress sync across iPhone and iPad FREE AND PRO • Free every day: subtitles, translation, Lingo's explanations, daily practice and word review • No limit on which videos you can open. Any YouTube video • The free plan limits only daily watch time and how much you practice. Pro removes those limits • Cancel anytime in the App Store WHAT PEOPLE SAY (App Store reviews) "For the first time, I actually enjoy learning English." "The only app I use to watch English videos.
