Podcasts for language learners

Pause any podcast and tap a word for its translation and meaning in context — or ask out loud. Krashen answers about what you just heard, in the language you choose.
Finally, a podcast player built for language learners.
Listening to podcasts is a proven way to learn a language — except in practice you miss words, rewind, and guess at what was said. So it rarely works.
Krashen fixes that. You listen to real shows, the same ones you'd find in any podcast app. But at any moment you can pause and:
• Tap any word for its translation and how it's actually used in that sentence — not a dictionary entry
• Ask a question out loud about the last few seconds — clarify something you didn't catch, ask what an idiom means, request a translation
• Save words you want to remember, and review them later
Explanations and answers come in whichever language you choose — your own, or the one you're studying.
Nothing has to slip by anymore.
WHAT KRASHEN IS NOT
Krashen isn't a translation tool. We don't try to give you podcasts in your own language — we believe in consuming content in its original one. The point is to understand the real thing.
WHY "KRASHEN"
The app is named after Stephen Krashen, the linguist whose input hypothesis holds that we acquire language by understanding messages slightly beyond our current level. That idea is the whole design.
LISTEN FREE, ASK WITH AN ACCOUNT
Demo episodes play with no account at all — listen, follow the transcript, and tap any word for an explanation. Create a free account to open more episodes and ask your first three questions. Krashen Pro unlocks the whole catalogue, raises you to 100 voice questions a week, and lets you save words to review later.
