Becoming proficient in a foreign language is challenging; however, successful learners share a common practice — extensive listening!

The key to advancing beyond beginner-level language apps is to engage with authentic conversations by native speakers. Glisten facilitates this immersive language experience necessary to enhance your listening comprehension and speaking skills. Furthermore, enjoying the same podcasts as native speakers adds a delightful element to the learning process.

Instead of rushing through content and losing track of the conversation, each sentence is repeated during listening workouts. This approach allows you more time to grasp phrases, offering context for subsequent parts of the dialogue and maintaining your interest. Experiencing full-speed native speakers with Glisten and comprehending them for the first time can be truly exhilarating!

Glisten is exclusively designed as a podcast player for Language Learners. You can explore podcasts in your chosen language and initiate a listening workout when you discover an intriguing episode, comparable to exercising at a gym tailor-made for your ears.

During each workout session on Glisten, a sequence of repetitions occurs. This could involve playing a sentence multiple times, slowing it down, then returning it to full speed before progressing further. You have the liberty to select the workout intensity suitable for each episode.

The platform harnesses cutting-edge Speech-to-Text technology to analyze audio content comprehensively, identifying sentence structures accurately.

Moreover, Glisten can automatically transcribe spoken words enabling seamless text tracking without the need to hunt down transcripts online.

The listening workouts on Glisten enable you to navigate through podcast episodes typically above your proficiency level. This allows you to engage with native speakers discussing captivating topics without feeling overwhelmed or confused. Repetition of phrases in these workouts enhances your ability to retain them for future reference.
