FluentU
FluentU is one of the best tools for learning English, even if you don't live near any native speakers. FluentU provides real-world English videos such as movie trailers, music videos, inspirational speeches, and more that have been transformed into personalized English lessons.
Each video comes with interactive subtitles. Tap on any word and FluentU will give you instant definition and native pronunciation. The video also automatically pauses, making your speech training super easy. You can mimic the pronunciation of the word or try to say the entire sentence without losing control of the video.
There is also a "repeat" feature that plays a sentence again so you can fully learn how to say it.
When you're done watching a video, check out the fun quizzes and exercises to help you remember everything!
Videos are organized by genre and level, so it's easy to find the ones that matter to you. FluentU even suggests new videos based on what you have already learned.
For privacy, the app has audio chat only (no video). If you are concerned that the conversation is not advanced enough, there is a live English discussion and discussion section in which you can participate. There is also a vocabulary and grammar course where you can apply your knowledge.
