Try to understand from context before seeing any text. This active engagement creates stronger memory connections and mimics natural language acquisition.
Reveal & Read

Everything you need to know about learning languages with Erla
Erla uses a scientifically-proven method focused on listening comprehension first. You listen to native speakers, guess the meaning from context, then reveal text and translations. This mimics how children naturally acquire language and builds stronger neural pathways than traditional methods.
Erla supports 22 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, Romanian, Croatian, Slovak, Serbian, Ukrainian, and Russian. Each language has native content and authentic recordings.

Yes! Erla works for all levels from complete beginners to advanced learners. The app adapts to your level and focuses on comprehensible input - content that is just slightly above your current level, which is optimal for language acquisition.
Unlike apps focused on vocabulary drills or grammar exercises, Erla prioritizes listening comprehension and context-based learning. We believe understanding comes before speaking, just like children learn their mother tongue. This natural approach leads to better retention and real-world communication skills.
Once you download language packs, you can practice offline. This makes it perfect for learning during flights, commutes through tunnels, or anywhere without internet connection.
While not required, headphones are recommended for the best learning experience. They help you focus on subtle pronunciation details and allow you to practice anywhere without disturbing others.
Most users notice improved listening comprehension within 2-3 weeks of consistent practice. Language learning is a journey, but with daily use, you will progressively understand more native content and build confidence in your target language.
