Frequently Asked Questions

Glot.Guru is a language learning platform built around the shadowing technique. You listen to native speakers, repeat sentences out loud, and get AI-powered explanations for every sentence you practice. No grammar drills. No memorization. Just real speaking from day one.

Most apps teach you about a language. glot.guru trains you to speak it. Instead of grammar rules and vocabulary lists, you practice real sentences the way native speakers use them — through listening, repeating, and internalizing. The difference shows up the first time someone understands you.

Shadowing is a method used by professional language interpreters. You listen to a native speaker and repeat what they say almost simultaneously, like an echo. It trains your ear, your rhythm, and your pronunciation at the same time. It is one of the fastest known paths to sounding natural in a new language.

Sentence Decoding splits a sentence into meaningful chunks, the natural building blocks of spoken language. Instead of analyzing grammar rules, you get familiar with each chunk the way babies learn their first language: through exposure, repetition, and pattern recognition. No grammar charts. No memorization. Just natural absorption, one chunk at a time.

Each session is approximately 15 minutes. Consistency beats intensity. 15 minutes every day outperforms a 2-hour weekend session every time.

Blind Shadowing is when you listen to the native speaker and repeat without seeing the text. No reading to fall back on. Just your ears, your voice, and the language. This is how real conversations work.

You see a sentence in your native language and type it in your target language, or vice versa. The AI grades your answer and explains any mistakes. What you test, you remember. What you remember, you use.
