English learning that does not feel like school

Reelang is made for this. It is a free watch page of real English videos from real people. Each video has a level, a speed and an accent, and the page changes as you watch.

It starts you with easy videos. Then it learns from the people you follow, the videos you skip and the words you look up. There is no level quiz.

A page of short videos from real people who speak English. Each video has a level and a speed, and we show the accent. It learns how you watch and keeps showing videos at your level.

It is English that you can mostly understand, with a little that is new. Stephen Krashen, a man who studies how people learn languages, said this is how we learn them. Reelang is built on his idea.

Reelang goes one step more. It checks how often each word is used in everyday English. It also knows which words you already know. So your page shows videos with words you know, plus the most common words you do not know yet. Videos you can understand, made for you.

Tap any word to see what it means. With Reelang+, Learner Insights tell you more about the culture and the way people talk in a video.

Some English words and phrases we explain, from new videos:

• zero faith: "zero" used to mean "not any" of something — not just the number 0
• meh: an informal sound for "average" or "I don't care" — said out loud, not just typed
• cheers: informal British "thanks" or "bye", not only a drinking toast
• would rather... than: "I would rather X than Y" — used to say which of two things you prefer
• keep someone quiet: to not tell people about someone — not about making them stop talking

With short videos, you hear many more people, accents and places in the same time. So your ear learns English the way people really talk.

We check how people talk in each video, not only the words. We check how fast they talk, how often they stop, how many words they say between stops, and how much of the video is talking. We also check the word level. So the page knows what you know and how fast you can follow.

Tap it to see what it means. With Reelang+, you also see it in your own language. And words you look up come back in new videos.

The most common ones. Smart Subtitles show how common each word is. So you know which words to learn first.

Beginner (A1) to Understands fast talk (C1). It works best from about A2.

The English watch page is free. You can start without an account. Reelang+ gives you videos picked for you, words in your own language, and words that come back in new videos.

Pick the one you will use most when you speak. But train your ear with both. At work, online or in IELTS you will hear many more: American, British, Irish, Scottish, Australian, Canadian, Indian, Nigerian and South African English. Pick an accent to practice the ones you need, or mix them.

Spoken English is shorter and faster than written English. People say “gonna”, “kinda” and “whaddya”. They drop sounds and say only the important words strongly, so the small words almost go away. When you hear many real people at your level, your ear learns to hear them.

Yes. IELTS listening has many accents, like British, Australian, Canadian and American English. With Reelang you practice each one with real people.

Most apps use drills and made-up audio. Reelang helps you listen to real English, the way people really talk.
