Show HN: Lwlnow – Dictation-based practice for language learners

https://lwlnow.com/
1•tarantababu•9mo ago
Hey HN,

I’m excited to share lwlnow, a web app designed 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 learning apps focus on passive exposure 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 that skill: • Listen to a native sentence • Type exactly what you hear • 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 looking for daily active practice

We’re still early and improving fast — your feedback would mean a lot: • What do you like? • What would you add or change? • Which languages should we support next?

Thanks for checking it out — and good luck with your language journey!
