I'm excited to share lwlnow, a web app built to help language learners improve their listening, vocabulary, and writing skills through dictation-based practice — a method that's simple, immersive, and surprisingly powerful.
Why we built it
Most language apps focus on passive learning or gamified memorization. But real fluency comes from training your brain to understand native speech and respond with precision.
Dictation is one of the most underrated yet effective ways to build these skills:
You listen to a native sentence
You type exactly what you hear
You get instant feedback on spelling, grammar, and word recognition
It’s like shadowing, but active — and it works incredibly well for learners at every level.
Who is it for?
Learners who want to internalize grammar naturally
People struggling with listening comprehension
Students who want daily active practice
Feedback welcome!
We’re in early development and improving fast. I'd love your feedback:
What do you like?
What would you add/change?
Which languages should we support next?
Thanks for checking it out — and good luck with your language journey!

Do you have flashcard functionality as well? That would be beneficial.

I've also learnt my third language, German, with the same method.
