Learn German, English, or Spanish with podcasts, articles, synchronized transcripts, contextual AI explanations, flashcards, and vocabulary memory from A1 to C2 on Podtext.

Podtext currently offers separate learning spaces for German, English, and Spanish. Each language has its own episodes, articles, vocabulary, progress metrics, level, and recommendations, so content never gets mixed between dashboards.

Yes. Silver and Gold members can add multiple available learning languages and switch between them from the dashboard. Free accounts focus on one learning language. Your interface language remains consistent across every learning space.

Yes. Episodes include a full transcript in the language you are learning. Word-level highlighting follows the audio, and you can request contextual help, save vocabulary, and view supported translations without leaving the player.

Tap or select any word in the synced transcript to get an explanation tied to that moment of the episode — translation, collocations, register, and grammar hints when useful, not a generic dictionary entry. You can save any word to your vocabulary memory for spaced repetition.

No. Podtext runs in modern browsers and installs as a PWA on iOS, Android, desktop, and tablets, giving you a home-screen language-learning app without an app-store download.

Where supported, installed PWAs can cache episodes, articles and transcripts you have already opened, so you can keep listening and reading on the train or on a plane. Availability depends on your device and what you have pre-loaded.

Yes. A free account includes one learning language and core listening tools. Silver and Gold unlock multiple learning languages, transcript translations, more AI word help, unlimited flashcards, premium episodes, and additional downloads.

Podcasts and reading content span A1 through C2, with level-specific progress for each language you learn. Available topics include daily life, culture, travel, work, science, and practical communication.
