The translation under each sentence

The welcome page asking Which language do you speak?, with twelve languages to choose from
The first question after you sign in. Pick the language you speak.
  • In Dictation, the translation appears when the sentence is right. Never while you type, so it can't give the answer away.
  • In a โ€œJust listenโ€ part, each line shows its translation while it plays.
  • In Shadowing, it appears after your take is checked.

The first time can take a moment. If nobody has opened a video in your language before, its translation is made when you press Start: the first sentences are ready in a few seconds, the whole video in under a minute. You can start straight away.

Hide or show translations

In the lesson's bottom bar, next to Close, tap the flag (you can see it in the picture above, at the bottom right). Tap it again to show them. The flag is only there when the video has a translation in your language.

One word, not the whole sentence?

Tap any word of a finished sentence to see what it means here, hear it, and read its dictionary entry: Look up a word.
