You can add new languages or change your active languages in Settings.

@pritraveler Thank you for your feedback!

There’s also some solid research behind it. A few studies (like Kiany & Shiramiry, 2002) found that dictation improves listening comprehension, grammar accuracy, and even writing fluency. Other studies link it to better vocabulary retention and processing speed. Not bad for something this simple.

• Kiany, G. R., & Shiramiry, E. (2002). The Effect of Frequent Dictation on the Listening Comprehension Ability of Elementary EFL Learners. TESL-EJ.

• Rahimi, M. (2008). Using Dictation to Improve Language Proficiency. Asian EFL Journal.

• Nation, I. S. P. (2009). Teaching ESL/EFL Listening and Speaking. Routledge — recommends dictation for processing and noticing gaps in spoken language.
  

@shushantlakhyani Thanks, actually, I have been using this method to learn languages for a while. And it works. I thought I should share this with everyone.

@shenjun Thank you!

You're right to ask this, it's a common question for new learners.

Let me explain how I use the app and how it works, especially for beginners like yourself who are just starting with Spanish:

Step-by-Step: How I Learn Spanish with the App

1. Generate a Simple Spanish Paragraph

   I create a short paragraph in Spanish that's suitable for my level. I usually use ChatGPT for this right now, but soon the app will have this feature built in, so you won’t need to leave the app to get level-appropriate content.

Example (Beginner A1 - Topic: Introductions):

Hola, me llamo Ana. Soy de México y tengo treinta años. Vivo en Madrid con mi familia. Me gusta leer libros y escuchar música.

1. Copy the Paragraph into the App

   I go to lwlnow.com, paste the paragraph, and create a new dictation exercise.

2. Do the Dictation Exercise

   I listen to the audio and try to type exactly what I hear. I repeat this exercise until I pass it three times with at least 95% accuracy. (the app tracks it automatically - it comes from 100 hours of experience)
   

3. Compare My Answer with the Original

   After each try, I can see where I made mistakes and what I got right.

4. Save New Words or Phrases

   If I don’t know a word, I click on it in the Vocabulary tab and create a flashcard for future review.

5. Listen to Flashcards Anytime

   The flashcards I save are added to a personal playlist that I can listen to during daily activities—great for passive learning.
   

6. Track Progress Toward B2 or C1

   The app shows my progress and word range. By clicking the (?) icon I can see what vocabulary level I’m reaching.

So you don’t have to know Spanish to use the app. The goal is to learn by listening and typing, comparing your output, and building your vocabulary step-by-step with repetition and review.
