MEET YOUR TEACHER

"I learned Italian as an adult. Now I'll teach you English the same way"

Tristan Palumbo

Tristan Palumbo

Cambridge-certified teacher of 12 years. Host of Simple English Listening — over 1 million downloads.

I'm a Cambridge-certified English teacher. But everything I knew about teaching changed when I learned Italian myself.

I had the same fears as my students: I couldn't understand natives, and was too nervous to speak.

In my MA, I discovered a method called 'comprehensible input' - the fastest way to learn a language. I tried it. I listened to and read to lots of SIMPLE Italian podcasts and stories daily.

Six months later, I talked, laughed and hosted dinner parties in Italian. I could follow whole conversations. Italian came out my mouth without thinking - because I had heard so much of it!

That's when I knew: the secret to learning English is to listen to and read as much as possible - in simpler English.

Back then, I had to buy every simple Italian story I could find on Amazon and chat with locals in the bars of Napoli.

Today, you have everything you need in one app: intermediate stories, and an AI conversation partner in your pocket that speaks slowly.

Reading is how you learn English best. And speaking often, builds your confidence best - this app gives you both.

This method that's worked for me and millions of others, is now yours.
