For Comprehensible Input Creators
Your videos stay on YouTube. We just help learners find them.
Reelang is an app where people learn a language by watching real videos. When we add your videos, learners watch them in YouTube's own player, with your name and your link right there on the screen. The view happens on your channel, not ours. Nothing is re-uploaded, nothing is locked behind a paywall, and none of it costs you anything.
Plays on YouTube, so the views are yours
Your name and your link on every clip (to your website or channel)
Free, and free to leave
Where the learner ends up
Every road leads back to you.
01
A learner opens Reelang
Looking for something they can almost understand.
02
Your video plays
In YouTube's player, so it counts on YouTube.
03
They tap your name
It is on the screen the whole time, next to your link.
04
They are on your channel
Watching more of you, and quite often subscribing.
We do not try to keep learners inside our app at your expense. We send them to your channel.
Who is asking
We are two people who wanted this to exist.
Roman taught English for twelve years and used to examine IELTS speaking. Toby has spent years building apps and websites. Between us we speak seven languages, we are both still learning more, and we make comprehensible input ourselves in our own native languages. We build Reelang together, and there is nobody else.
We built it because we were stuck ourselves. Finding videos at our own level was hard work, and in the languages nobody builds for it was close to impossible. Most apps look at a language like that and decide it is not worth the trouble. That is the part we took personally.
There is no real language without real people. A learner can drill grammar for a year and still freeze at the pharmacy counter, because what they were missing was never in the book. It was a person talking slowly enough to follow. That is you, and everything we build points back at you.
What we do for you
Four things, and you can take any of them or none.
The first two we do for you, and they ask nothing of you. The other two are tools, there if you want them and easy to ignore if you do not. All four are free, and taking one never signs you up for the rest.

We put your videos in front of learners
Tell us your channel and your videos start reaching learners at the right level for them. Every clip carries your name and one link you pick: your channel, your website, your course, wherever you want people to go. New videos follow on their own, usually within half an hour of you posting. If your link earns you something, good. We take none of it.

We send you ideas for what to make next
Every Monday you get three ideas. They come from what learners in other languages watch right to the end, set against what is still missing in yours. Each one tells you the topic, who it suits and the words worth building it around. Use them, ignore them, or just read them for the numbers.
Your script · aiming at A2
Nearly there
I get up at seven, make some coffee, and leave before the traffic becomes unbearable.
Rare word. Most A2 learners will not know it.

We check your script before you film
Write or check your script with us and we will tell you how hard it is to follow. We know how common every word is in your language, so we can point at the exact words that will lose a beginner, and the sentences that run on too long. You find out before you film, not after.
Ten minutes, start to finish
Recording
You read, your phone records
Good morning. Today I want to show you my kitchen.
We cut it and add captions
You post it, wherever you like
04
We can make the video with you
If you have never edited a video and that is the thing stopping you, we will handle it. A teleprompter runs while you record on your phone, then we cut the clip and add the captions and hand it back. Roughly ten minutes from idea to something you can post. It is yours: put it on your own channel, and anywhere else you like.
Highlighted across the web + AI
Your videos turn up when learners ask an AI where to find good listening practice.
People ask ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and Google where to find videos at their level, and our clips come back. When we work with you we push your videos harder in those answers and inside our own app, and we post about you on our own accounts and in our ads too. Your name and a link to your channel go on all of it, so every one of those roads ends with you.
Somebody searches for help with a phrase and your clip is what Google shows them.
"Show me beginner clips in X" and your video is the one it points at, with your name on it.
Turns up in its answers about learning a language, across Edge, Bing and Windows.
Named when somebody asks it for real speech in your language at the level they are at.
More of these read us every month, looking for real examples. They all end up at you.
We push a partner's videos harder in all of this than videos we simply came across.
Especially these languages
Native speaker in one of these? Learners need you the most.
We have learners in 40 languages. These are the ones where a beginner turns up and finds almost nothing they can follow. If you are a native speaker of one of them, you do not need experience and you do not need a channel yet. We will help you plan the first few videos and make them, and they are yours: your name, your channel, and we are just one of the places they get seen.
We work with creators one at a time, by hand. There are two of us, so it is the only way we know how to do it properly.

Where we actually are
Can you make money from this?
Not yet, and we would rather say so than dress it up.
We have no investors. What we can give you today is reach, your link on every clip, and the people who follow it back to you. If that link earns you something, good, and we take none of it.
We do want to pay creators. What we do not want is to invent a scheme on our own and hand it to you finished. If getting paid for this matters to you, and it should, come and tell us what would make it worth your time. Those conversations are what will shape it, as we learn what actually works for you.
Tell us what would make it worth your timeTry it on your own video
See what a learner hears.
Send us a link to one of your videos and we will tell you what we hear: how hard it is to follow, how fast you speak, how common your words are, and where a learner would lose the thread. Free, no account, and you never have to hear from us again.

How to start
Once, and then it runs itself.
01
Sign in and tell us your channel
Reelang Studio sends you a link by email, so there is no password to invent. Paste your YouTube channel and you are done.
02
Say what you make, and where you want people sent
Your language and the variety of it you speak, Levantine Arabic or British English for example. Then the one link you want next to your name.
03
One of us watches your videos
An actual person watches a few of them before anything goes live, usually Roman, usually within a few days. Then your name goes on your clips and the Monday ideas start.
Get in touch
Want to talk to a person first?
Fair enough. Twenty minutes, we show you what your clips look like in the app, and you ask us anything you like. No slides. This is also the way in if your videos live somewhere other than YouTube, or if you would rather we set it all up with you.
