Directly link "listening" to "speaking"! The ultimate listening app
The famous "Hearing Marathon" is back as an app!

What is the Hearing Marathon?
This is a correspondence course by ALC that was launched in 1982 under the name "1000 Hour Hearing Marathon (HM)". The app "1000 Hour Hearing Marathon" has re-edited this method into a digital learning material that can be studied anytime, anywhere.

Recommended for:

- Those who want to thoroughly focus on listening

- Those who want to increase their exposure to English

- Those who want to be able to understand English when native speakers are speaking seriously

- Those who want to use an app to manage their learning

- Those who want to use an app for shadowing and dictation

- Those who want to be able to enjoy English TV, news, movies, etc. without subtitles

- Those who want to be able to fully understand the content of English meetings

- Those who want to test themselves regularly to check their English ability

- Those who want to improve their overall English ability, not just their listening ability

- Those who want to study while competing with other students

- Those who want to improve their English ability while feeling the results of their daily studies

- Those who are bored with general listening learning materials

- Those who want to learn by listening to English that is actually being spoken, not audio for teaching materials

Reasons to choose Hearing Marathon:

① Training to develop the ability to understand and listen to English as it is!
The goal of the Hearing Marathon is to balance a large amount of listening training (quantitative load) with detailed listening training (qualitative load), so that you can listen to and understand English as it is. Through learning with a variety of content, you can train your ability to understand English directly without translating it into Japanese. You will also become accustomed to the sounds, rhythm, and speed of English, and be able to handle different accents and ways of speaking.

② Not just "listening"! Improve the four skills of "speaking," "writing," and "reading"
The learning content includes a wealth of output, such as shading, dictation, simultaneous interpretation practice, and blank filling, with a focus on "listening." As a result, you will be able to build a foundation for your "speaking," "reading," and "writing" skills, and be able to work with confidence in English.

③ A curriculum designed by language learning professionals to maintain your motivation!
Because we use STEP learning, anyone can achieve their goals with confidence, just like climbing the stairs one step at a time. STEP learning is a learning method that progresses by clearing specific goals such as "listen to this expression" and "find the answer to this question" rather than vague learning goals such as "listen repeatedly until you understand." By setting detailed goals, you will be able to hear the details of English that you could hardly understand at first.

What you can do with Hearing Marathon

・Get in touch with "real English"
The recorded audio is mainly audio of native speakers conversing and phrases that you often hear in the field. You can aim to acquire the ability to naturally listen to a variety of native English.

・Learn with Hearing Marathon's unique content that is updated every week
Each learning content is called a series, and currently more than 10 series have been released. Sessions for each series are added sequentially, so you can study without getting bored.

・Record your daily study time aiming for 1000 hours
The time you spend studying English within the app is automatically recorded. In addition to learning with the app, you can also add the time you spent studying with materials or in the classroom, taking exams, listening to foreign movies and music, and working with English to your 1000 hours by entering it yourself.

・Connect with learners nationwide through rankings

Weekly and cumulative study time is displayed in a ranking. You can check the pace at which other learners who are aiming to achieve 1000 hours are studying every day, which will also help motivate you.

《About the series》

Hearing Marathon consists of learning content (series) according to each level and purpose and the following two tests.

①Hearing Test HEMHET

HEMHET (Hearing Marathon Hearing Test) is a mini test in the format of a TOEIC listening section that measures your hearing ability. You will be challenged with a total of 26 questions, and the results will be displayed as a score out of 100 points and your level. New questions are uploaded every month, so try taking the test once a month.

② Dictation Contest

In the dictation contest, you listen to the English sentences given to you every month, dictate them, and submit them.

After you submit your sentences, they will be graded immediately, and you will be able to check the correct sentences and your answers and level.

After the deadline for the assignments, we will analyze your submitted assignments and announce the "stumbling points" that we found, along with the top performers.
