Your students understand every word in class. Then a native speaker opens their mouth.
Steadyfluent brings interpreter-grade listening training — the method that gets interpreter trainees past the wall of native-speed speech — to language classrooms. Real audio. Natural pauses. Structured repetition, between sessions, on any content.

Classroom comprehension is not real-world listening.
Most listening practice builds recognition of words on a page. It does not build the ability to process continuous, native-speed speech in real time. That gap is structural, not a motivation problem — and it's why students plateau between sessions no matter how well they do in class.
The same method conference interpreters train with.
Interpreter training closes this exact gap for professionals working under time pressure. Steadyfluent takes the core mechanism out of the booth and makes it available between sessions, without requiring a trainer in the room.
- REAL AUDIO, UNMODIFIED Authentic speech, not the simplified prosody of classroom demonstrations — so learners train on the rhythm they'll actually encounter.
- PRE-SEGMENTED AT NATURAL PAUSES Audio is chunked at real meaning boundaries, so learners encounter correct chunk boundaries from the first listen instead of guessing at them.
- STRUCTURED REPETITION The same clip, looped, until the chunk moves from conscious recognition to automatic retrieval — the mechanism behind interpreter shadowing practice.
- GRADUATED SPEED Learners can start below native speed to build the prosodic template, then test it at full pace.
Built for the people who run and teach the classroom.

Directors of Studies & Erasmus providers
Add a research-backed listening component to your programme without building one from scratch.
Built from fifteen years in the booth, not a marketing brief.
Francesco Feston trained at Ca' Foscari University in Venice and has spent fifteen years interpreting across Italian, English, French, Spanish, and German — diplomatic summits, international conferences, live broadcasts. Steadyfluent is the method that training relies on, made available outside the booth. Read the full story →
Before you start the trial
No. Most listening apps and podcasts are exposure-based — they assume passive listening builds fluency. Steadyfluent is built around structured repetition on pre-segmented, natural-pause audio, which is the mechanism interpreter training uses to build automatic processing, not just recognition. See The Passive Listening Myth for the underlying research.
Three free clips, no card required. It's built for schools and teachers to evaluate the method directly with their own students before committing.
Yes — "B2B only" means Steadyfluent is built for schools, teachers, and training providers rather than as a consumer app for individual learners to buy directly. If you teach or run a programme, you're the intended user.
Two plans after the trial: Solo School at €79/month — one teacher account, for solo tutors and small schools. Team School at €249/month — up to 5 teacher accounts, everything in Solo School, a shared team dashboard, and priority support.
English, French, Spanish, Polish, Swedish, Croatian, German — and more being added.
The method draws on Gile's effort models and forty years of converging research from cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and SLA — not just interpreter-training tradition. Start with The Science of Chunk-Based Listening for the full research summary and citations.
