Train your ear to tell languages apart by sound alone. Can you tell Polish from Ukrainian with your eyes closed? Portuguese from Russian? Fonologist is a game that trains your ear to recognise languages by sound alone. HOW IT WORKS Hear a short clip of a real person speaking, pick the language from four options, and find out straight away. Ten clips make a round. LEARN FROM EVERY MISS Guess wrong and you can play what you heard right next to a clip of the language you picked, so you hear the difference for yourself. Flutie, the resident fonologist, tells you about the language you missed. SEE HOW CLOSE YOU WERE After each round you see every clip you heard, and whether each miss stayed inside the right language family or crossed into a different one. REAL VOICES Every clip is a real person speaking their own language, so you hear the variety of real voices rather than one studio speaker. PLAY FIRST, SIGN UP LATER No account needed to play. Add your email when you want your progress and your day streak to follow you to another device. Languages from Welsh to Thai, with more added over time. No ads. No microphone. Just listening.
