Learn a language by listening — and actually studying.

NerLan plays the podcasts you learn from, then turns every episode into study material: an AI transcript synced to the audio, a review handout, translations, and shadowing practice.

For iPhone and iPad. Also available for Android.

Why “NerLan”?

One name, two readings — and both are true.

Say it

Ner·Lan is near language. That's the distance the app tries to close — not how many words you know, but how far you still are from understanding the sentence you just heard.

Spell it

The six letters are exactly N + LEARN — nothing left over, nothing borrowed. And those five letters are the five things the app does.

  1. LListenAny podcast you subscribe to, in one place — whatever language you're studying.
  2. EEchoLoop a sentence, record your reading, compare it with the original.
  3. AAnnotateAn AI review sheet per episode — grammar, examples, vocabulary.
  4. RReadA transcript and translation that follow the audio, line by line.
  5. NNoteFavorites, downloads and study material, synced and kept.
