    Questions people ask first.

    Which language pairs can I learn?

    Italian, German, English, French and Spanish, in any of the twenty directions between them. You pick both languages, so the app explains the new language in one you already speak.

    Can I learn offline on my iPhone?

    Yes. All the lesson audio ships inside the iOS app. Make any purchase while you're online; after that it plays with no connection at all.

    Read the offline guide
    Is there really no subscription?

    Repeat After Me is free to start, and one purchase unlocks the full library. There are no monthly fees, accounts or ads.

    Can I practise with the screen off?

    The iOS app plays in the background and on the lock screen. Start a listening lesson, set your pauses, then put your phone away. Interactive exercises still need the screen.

    Is listen-and-repeat the same as shadowing?

    They're related. Shadowing follows ongoing speech closely; listen-and-repeat leaves a pause. Repeat After Me is built for paused repetition and active recall.

    How should beginners start?

    Pick a topic that interests you, then listen and repeat aloud. Around 20 minutes a day is a good start.

    Can I slow it down?

    Yes. Turn on Slow first, and switch automatic pauses off to set a longer pause yourself; both are in settings. Short topics like greetings are a good place to start.

    Does it check my pronunciation?

    No. It gives you a native model and time to answer, but it doesn't score your pronunciation. You decide whether you've got it.

    Guides for practising on your own.
