I'm excited to share lwlnow, a web app built to help language learners improve their listening, vocabulary, and writing skills through dictation-based practice — a method that's simple, immersive, and surprisingly powerful.

Why we built it Most language apps focus on passive learning or gamified memorization. But real fluency comes from training your brain to understand native speech and respond with precision.

Dictation is one of the most underrated yet effective ways to build these skills:

You listen to a native sentence You type exactly what you hear You get instant feedback on spelling, grammar, and word recognition

It’s like shadowing, but active — and it works incredibly well for learners at every level.

Who is it for?

Learners who want to internalize grammar naturally People struggling with listening comprehension Students who want daily active practice

Feedback welcome! We’re in early development and improving fast. I'd love your feedback:

What do you like?

What would you add/change? Which languages should we support next? Thanks for checking it out — and good luck with your language journey!

I've also learnt my third language, German, with the same method.
