On those days when energy wanes and motivation seems just out of reach, Audio Mode shines as the best low-effort practice tool. It's perfectly tailored for passive listening, allowing you to soak in the sounds, rhythms, and pronunciation of your chosen learning language without the need for active engagement or intense focus.

It's the kind of support that understands your energy levels will vary, ensuring that your commitment to language mastery remains uninterrupted, nurturing a continuous bond with your new language in the most seamless way possible.
Audio Mode is a smart listening experience and practice tool which will play back any term you've previously encountered in Drops for you to listen to, reinforcing your knowledge, listening comprehension and retention. Here's what makes it special:
Engage only with terms you have already come across, reinforcing your listening comprehension and recall with a targeted practice session.
Once you have seen all the words in a topic, it becomes unlocked for use with Audio Mode, allowing for repetitive practice and mastering.
Engaging with Audio Mode counts towards your daily streaks and gives you progress for every term practiced, maximizing your learning outcome.
Each topic in Audio Mode is designed to be about 5 minutes long, ideal for short, focused learning sessions.
For those who crave more, the Premium-only Auto-Play setting will cycle through all your unlocked topics in sequence, providing a continuous learning experience. Just put your phone in your pocket and revise whilst washing the dishes!
Drops’ Audio Mode has been designed with versatility in mind. It comes with customisable settings, empowering you to tailor the learning experience to your unique learning needs:
For language courses where we support multiple voices like Thai, Japanese or US English, choose your preferred one.
Select whether you want to hear the words in your UI language or only in your learning language for a fully immersive session.
Decide the sequence of language presentation (learning language first, followed by your native language, or vice versa).
Add pauses between repetitions to practice speaking along.
Slow down repetitions to ensure thorough understanding and pronunciation.
Cycle through all available topics unlocked for Audio practice for an extended session. This is a Premium-only setting.

"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
"Amazing app"
