Cue-by-cue listening, record-and-compare speaking, AI dialogues, and real human voice messages with transcription and translation. Train your ears and mouth
Bantera — Listening & Speaking Practice
Learn languages with your ears and voice, not only with textbooks. Bantera is an audio-first app that helps you practise real conversations, improve pronunciation, and understand rhythm, intonation, accents, slang, and idioms.
PRACTISE REAL SPEAKING
Listen to a cue, record your own voice, and compare it with the original. Bantera transcribes your recording and shows differences, helping you notice what to improve next time.
LANGUAGES AND ACCENTS
Set your native language and the language you are learning. Bantera supports multiple regional accents, so you can practise how people actually speak in different countries.

en-AU Australia, en-CA Canada, en-ID Indonesia, en-IE Ireland, en-IN India, en-NZ New Zealand, en-PH Philippines, en-SA Saudi Arabia, en-SG Singapore, en-ZA South Africa, en-AE United Arab Emirates, en-GB United Kingdom, en-US United States.

LISTEN IN REALISTIC CHUNKS
Explore public audio and video matched to your learning language. Play lessons cue by cue, one line at a time, so you can repeat, shadow, and focus on details without being overwhelmed.
Control subtitles your way: hide them for a challenge, show the original text when you need help, and use translation where supported.
GENERATE PRACTICE FOR YOUR REAL LIFE
Create AI-generated dialogues and audio in your learning language. Choose preset scenarios or create your own topics.
You can generate practice for:
• Job interviews in your industry
• Workplace conversations
• Travel and daily life
• School and study
• Customer service
• Local slang and idioms
• Latest news topics
SPEAK, RECORD, AND COMPARE
Record your voice on a cue and compare your version with the original. Bantera helps you practise pronunciation, rhythm, stress, and fluency.
Recording length per attempt is capped to keep practice focused and manageable on mobile.
VOICE CHAT FOR LANGUAGE PRACTICE
Send voice messages to other users or groups directly inside Bantera. Unlike normal chat apps, Bantera does not support text messages. Communication is voice-only, keeping the focus on listening and speaking practice.
Where supported, Bantera provides transcription and translation for voice messages, so you can understand what was said, review the words, and learn from real spoken communication.
This helps you practise:
• Real conversation
• Listening comprehension
• Pronunciation and fluency
• Group communication
• Understanding different accents and speaking styles
CREATE, UPLOAD, AND ORGANISE
Generate AI dialogue and audio when you want fresh practice material. Upload your own media and manage it from your library. Delete items you no longer need.
Preview a lesson before practice, see creator information, and save lessons you want to return to.
DISCOVER AND SAVE
Use Discover to browse content filtered by your learning language. Load more as you scroll, search titles and transcripts, and save lessons for quick access from your profile.
