EP.02 · TRANSCRIPTS

Read along, sentence by sentence.

Every episode becomes a transcript you can follow line by line, with a translation in your own language. We transcribe the audio with AI on our own servers.

  1. 01

    Bilingual

    Original and translation together. The easy way into a new show.

  2. 02

    Original only

    Just the words you hear. Tap any word you don't know.

  3. 03

    Blind listening

    Text hidden, ears only. Peek when you need to.

EP.03 · ASK WHILE LISTENING

Didn't catch that?
Ask.

Squeeze your AirPods, or tap Ask, and say what confused you. Lingoreel knows what you just heard and answers in your language.

Or tap Explain this on any sentence for a plain-language breakdown of what it means and how it's built.

Works with AirPods and most headphones with controls.

  1. 01

    Squeeze

    The podcast pauses and Lingoreel starts listening.

  2. 02

    Ask out loud

    “What did she just say?” “Why ‘resultan’?” Squeeze again when you're done.

  3. 03

    Hear the answer

    In your own language, based on the lines you just heard.

  4. 04

    Keep listening

    The episode picks up again by itself a few seconds later.

EP.04 · WORDS & REVIEW

Tap a word.
Keep it.

Look up any word right in the transcript, save it to your wordbook, and review it with spaced repetition, together with the clip you heard it in.

EP.05 · DAILY PLAN

Twenty minutes a day, at your level.

Each day Lingoreel lines up about 20 minutes of clips picked so you understand 70–80%: enough to follow, hard enough to grow.

  • Weekly report
  • Listening & vocabulary reports
  • Achievements

EP.06 · SHADOWING
