We make apps that help people understand each other

Apps that connect

Why normaleer exists

Making people connect. Especially people who are different.

01
Where it starts

You cannot understand someone you cannot hear.

02
The studio

Small on purpose. A few apps. Made slowly.

03

We all come from different backgrounds. Ethnicity, country, culture, temperament. People who are different from each other are what a society is made of, and without the effort to understand one another it will not be a good place to live. normaleer exists to do that work.

What we make

PopEar's home screen on an iPhone: a 5-day streak with recoverable days, a type-or-tap mode switch, and today's plan of listening clips
PopEar

Hear English the way it is actually spoken.

Most learners can read English long before they can hear it. At natural speed, words run together and sounds disappear, and a sentence they would understand on paper is gone.

PopEar trains that one skill. Short passages of real, unslowed speech, broken down until your ear catches what it kept missing. No account, no cost, made for learners past the beginner stage.

A second app is in early work. It will appear here when it is finished.

Say hello

Mail is read by the person who wrote the app. Replies come in English or Korean.
