"Full" means drunk in Swedish. The word you want after a good meal is "mätt" — satisfied, full from food.
Your tutor said it once.Keep it forever.
The corrections that matter slip away the moment the call ends. Phraseback captures each one as a Nuance Card you can actually return to.
A coffee-and-cake break, taken seriously and usually together.
Not just a coffee. Fika is a daily ritual of pausing to sit and talk — skipping it can read as almost antisocial.
Not too much, not too little — exactly enough.
There is no clean English equivalent. Your tutor reached for it to describe the right amount of coffee — but Swedes apply lagom to temperature, workload, even silence.
From a spoken hour to a handful of cards.
It rides along on your Google Meet lesson, then does the distilling — every session leaves you three to five cards worth keeping. No note-taking, nothing to comb through.
Join your lesson
Phraseback detects your Google Meet call. Press record once and forget it's there — nothing for you or your tutor to perform for.
Hang up and forget
Transcription, analysis, and extraction all happen in the background. You don't lift a finger after the call ends.
Open your journal
Nuance Cards, corrections, and cultural notes are waiting — every session leaves three to five worth keeping.
Practice on your own
Record yourself between lessons and get corrections and native alternatives, so your next session goes further.
One session leaves you a deck worth keeping.
A real spread from across a few lessons — the corrections, the untranslatables, the habits to unlearn.
To say you're full, "je suis plein" sounds off in France — it implies you're drunk. Reach for "j'ai assez mangé" or "je n'ai plus faim."
A pang of regret at letting something go to waste.
Not just "wasteful." Mottainai carries a quiet reverence — for food, time, even unused potential. Your tutor sighed it when you almost threw away half a meal.
The lingering talk at the table once the plates are cleared.
No one rushes off when the food is gone. The sobremesa — staying to talk — can outlast the meal itself, and leaving early can read as cold.
The "yes" that argues back — used to contradict a negative.
When someone says you won't come, answer "Doch!" — German's dedicated rebuttal to a negative claim. English has no single word that does this job.
"Sono caldo" literally claims you are a hot person. Heat you feel is something you have: "ho caldo."
Tenderly running your fingers through someone's hair.
A single word for an act of affection English has to spell out — the gentle, absent-minded gesture you'd give a partner, child, or a dog at your feet.
Four kinds of nuance, sorted as they surface.
Word choice
The almost-right word made exactly right — false friends, register, and the term a native would actually reach for.
Cultural
When the meaning lives outside the dictionary: rituals, etiquette, and the weight a phrase quietly carries.
Gentle correction
The habit you didn't notice you had — what you said, what a native says, and the rule sitting underneath.
Grammar
Structure that trips you mid-sentence: gendered articles, tense, agreement — always caught in context.
Quiet to use. Precise where it counts.
Captures your lesson
Detects your Google Meet call and records in the background. Nothing to operate mid-conversation.
Practice mode
Record yourself between lessons for corrections and native alternatives — no tutor required.
A searchable journal
Every card is saved, sorted, and searchable. Your corrections never get lost in a transcript.
Private by default
Your recordings and transcripts stay yours. We tell you exactly how they're stored and handled.
Audio lesson episodes
On Immersed, your sessions become short audio episodes you can replay on the move.
Built for nuance
Not flashcards. Each card holds the why — the register, the false friend, the habit to unlearn.
AI should support your tutor, not replace them.
A good tutor listens, corrects you in the moment, and adapts to how you learn. Phraseback doesn't try to replace that — it captures the lesson your tutor gave and turns it into a calm learning journal, so the value of every session lasts beyond the hour.
The tutor stays central
Live correction, judgment, encouragement — a model has none of it. Phraseback's job is to make that work last: helping you remember, review, and notice more long after the lesson ends.
Your sessions are not training data
Phraseback does not use your sessions to train AI models. Our AI processors handle audio/transcripts only to provide transcription and analysis under their API terms. We do not sell your personal information or session data to advertisers.
Nothing joins your call
No meeting bot, no silent participant, no live judgment layer — you decide when to record. Audio only. Phraseback uploads lesson audio, not camera video or screen recordings.
