Lades builds your listening vocabulary the way you meet words in real life: as sound. There are no visual hints. You hear a word, then choose its meaning. Your ear and your memory work together, so pronunciation and recognition grow at the same time.
Most apps show you the written word, and you learn to recognize it with your eyes. Out in the world, words arrive as sound. A strong listening vocabulary closes that gap.
Lades works in both directions between English, Spanish, German and Turkish, and the interface follows your own language — you never have to learn one language through another.
🎧 HOW IT WORKS
• Listen to the word and replay it as often as you like
• Choose the correct meaning from the options on screen
• Move on when you are right, hear the word again when you are not
• Practice in short sessions and watch your progress build
🌍 LANGUAGES, IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
You choose your own language and the one you want to learn:
• English
• Spanish
• German
• Turkish
An English speaker can learn Spanish, and a Spanish speaker can learn Turkish — twelve directions in total, and the app always speaks to you in a language you already know.
📈 LEVELS AND CONTENT
• A1 Beginner, A2 Elementary, B1 Intermediate, B2 Upper intermediate
• Every concept prepared in all four languages
• Everyday, dictionary-standard words, with no slang and no filler
• Two different voices for every word, at three reading speeds
🧠 SMART REVIEW
Smart Review is a dedicated study mode that prioritizes the words you need to improve. Your weak words move to the front of the queue, so your time goes where it makes the most difference.
🗓️ SEE YOUR PROGRESS
• Set a daily goal of 10, 20, 30 or 50 words
• Practice every day to build a streak
• See learned words and words to improve, separately
• Check correct and incorrect counts in your word list
💾 MAKE IT YOURS
• Two different voices
• Reading speed: normal, slow or very slow
• Between 2 and 6 answer options per question
• Lives: off, 3 lives or 5 lives
• Light and dark theme
🛜 WORKS OFFLINE
Every word's audio is bundled inside the app. You do not need an internet connection to practice, so a commute, a flight or a queue turns into study time.
