PodLingo: Learn with Podcasts2.6.0 - App Store

Do you listen to podcasts? Do you need to learn a foreign language? If so, PodLingo is just what you need.

Learning languages takes time. This is especially true when we are intermediate to advanced, where learning may have reached a plateau. Language immersion through listening to natural conversations in podcasts is a great way to push through this stage. The reality is, however, that very few of us have the time to sit down and have pen and paper ready when we listen, so even if we do come across something useful, we might simply forget them.

PodLingo is designed to solve this problem. When we listen to our favorite podcasts in PodLingo and come across a new word or expression, we can double tap* on our headphones to save that audio snippet as a short clip. With PodLingo, there’s no need to scramble to find pen and paper. There’s no need for constant pauses or rewinds that could interrupt the flow. All we need to do is to notice the good uses of the language and clip them. When we have time later, we can sit down and review the audio clips by replaying them. We can also create words and expressions and add them to our personal library for further studies.

In other words, PodLingo turns what counted as “dead time,” such as commuting, doing dishes, and cleaning up the house, etc., into excellent learning opportunities.

Here is a list of the main features of PodLingo:

- Discover, follow and listen to podcasts
- Capture audio clips using headphone remote gestures (we even have an interactive guide to show you how!)
- Replay audio clips
- Transcribe audio clips
- Translate words and expressions and save them to your personal library
- Learn words and expressions in combination with their original audio context

We hope that you enjoy using PodLingo! If you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can find our contact information on our website at https://www.d2studio.io.
