About this app

Palu is an English learning app for intermediate and advanced learners who want to sound natural in real conversations. It is built around a loop that turns the words you keep getting stuck on into spoken fluency.

THE LEARNING LOOP:
1. COLLECT: save the words and expressions you don't know yet.
2. UNDERSTAND: get examples and a detailed explanation in your native language.
3. REVIEW: spaced-repetition flashcards resurface each word right before you forget it.
4. PRACTICE: read and speak along to personalized stories and dialogues built from your own vocabulary.

VOCABULARY THAT STICKS:
Every word or phrase you save becomes a rich entry:
• Translation and detailed explanation in your native language
• IPA and a plain "say it like this" pronunciation guide
• Native-speaker audio at normal and slowed speed
• Multiple natural example sentences, each with audio
• Image to anchor the meaning

Add a word in seconds, or look up anything you don't know from inside the app.

STORIES BUILT FROM YOUR VOCABULARY:
Stories are where the real speaking practice happens. Generate one on demand and tune every knob:
• Format: narrative tales or dialogues.
• Scenario: a coffee shop scene, an airport conversation, a family dinner, or anything you write yourself
• Custom instructions: "use past perfect", "load it with phrasal verbs", "make it sound American", "first-person narration"
• Difficulty, length, and how heavily your saved vocab should appear

Every story is fully narrated. Hold on any word for an instant translation in your native language. Slow the audio down, replay, and speak along with the narrator until the rhythm sounds natural to you.

PRONUNCIATION FEEDBACK:
Record yourself saying a phrase and get instant word-by-word feedback: what you nailed, what got close, and what you missed. Powered by professional speech-assessment technology.

DAILY TASKS THAT TURN INTO HABITS
• A simple daily plan: add new Vocas, review your due vocab, listen to a story and practice speaking.
• Streaks and progress charts so the months actually add up.
• Calm, distraction-free interface, built for adults who want to learn, not be entertained

NATIVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Interface, explanations and translations work in 16 native languages: Spanish, Portuguese (BR and PT), French, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indonesian.
