PopEar: Train Your English Ear

Train your English listening on real speech, not textbook English.

PopEar uses curated YouTube clips and a structured 3-step practice method to help intermediate and advanced learners catch the words native speakers actually use. No ads, no tracking, no profiling.

THE 3-STEP METHOD
1. Listen: watch the full clip without subtitles. Get the gist.
2. Practice: focus on the key sentences. Listen multiple times, fill in the blanks, save the words you want to remember.
3. Review: see the full transcript with vocab and rephrasings. Lock in what you learned.

SPACED REPETITION (Memory Boost)
Every sentence you save becomes a flashcard. PopEar uses the FSRS algorithm to schedule reviews on the days you're about to forget. You remember more, with less daily effort.

PERSONALIZED DIFFICULTY
PopEar matches clips to your level on two dimensions: vocabulary and listening speed. Tell us how a clip felt and your future picks adjust. No noise from generic "easy/medium/hard" labels.

WHAT'S INSIDE
- Curated clips from real conversations: interviews, podcasts, vlogs, talks
- Daily streak tracker with a 7-day recovery window for missed days
- Save sentences for flashcard review
- Adjustable playback speed for catching fast speech
- Anonymous account by default; no email or sign-up required

WHO IT'S FOR
PopEar is for intermediate-to-advanced English learners (CEFR B1+) who already know the grammar but struggle to follow real conversation. You can read fine. You watch films with subtitles. You want to understand without them.

ABOUT THE YOUTUBE CONTENT
PopEar plays YouTube videos through YouTube's official iframe player. Videos remain on YouTube; we don't download or republish them. Your activity in PopEar is not shared with YouTube beyond what playback requires.

PRIVACY
We collect only what's needed to run the app. No ads, no third-party trackers, no data sales. Read the full policy at https://legal.popear.app/privacy/.
