Now in German and Japanese — menus, word meanings and AI explanations follow your language. Every podcast carries a difficulty level, so you can start where you are.
Learn Chinese by listening to real podcasts.
Podcastly turns any Chinese-language podcast into a language lesson. Pick an episode, and Podcastly transcribes it, splits every sentence into words with pinyin and meanings, and lets you save the words you want to keep.
LISTEN WITH A LIVE TRANSCRIPT
• Follow along sentence by sentence while the episode plays
• Tap any word for pinyin, meaning and example sentences
• Show pinyin or a translation for every line
• Slow the audio down when speech gets fast
FIND SOMETHING AT YOUR LEVEL
• Every show carries a difficulty level: Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced
• "Ready to learn" collects hand-picked episodes whose transcripts are already finished — free on every plan
• Or search the Chinese podcast charts for a show of your own
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
• Use Podcastly in English, German or Japanese
• Menus, word meanings, example translations and AI explanations all follow the language you pick
BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY
• Save words straight from the transcript
• Review them with spaced-repetition flashcards, right before you would forget them
• Hear natural pronunciation for words and whole sentences
GO DEEPER
• Ask the built-in AI to explain a word or sentence in context
• Read short mini stories written from your own saved words
• Track your listening time, streak and learning progress day by day
FREE AND PRO
The free plan includes 60 minutes of new episode transcription per week, 500 characters of pronunciation audio and 10 AI explanations per day, and keeps up to 50 saved words. Listening, the dictionary and every episode that has already been transcribed are free and unlimited.
Podcastly Pro removes these limits: up to 10 hours of new transcription per month, 40,000 characters of pronunciation audio per month, 100 AI explanations per day and unlimited saved words. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings at any time.
