Learning a language is something that shows no results in the short term and only improves noticeably over the long term. That rhythm makes it very easy to doubt yourself — "am I actually improving?", "did I waste another week?" Aelano quantifies your daily study activity automatically: how many minutes you studied each day, how many days in a row you hit your goal, how many hours you have accumulated this month, and how much time went into listening / watching / shadowing / review each day. You do not have to log anything by hand — the app calculates all of it. When you can see it, it is easier to keep going.
Good for situations like:
Open Aelano and you will see the study stats card on the home page or under "Me" in the bottom bar — it shows today's study time, your streak, and how many days you hit your goal this month. Tap it to open the full stats panel.
A bar chart by day, with two views:
The chart has a goal line marking the daily goal you set. The color of each bar tells you:
Putting your mouse or finger on a day's bar shows a tooltip:
If you use Practice (LS100), the panel also shows how your time splits across each stage:
This makes it clear which kind of activity your time goes into — you might find that 80% of your time is focused listening with subtitles and your shadowing time is close to zero, which is exactly where you have room to improve.
The core of study stats is the daily goal — a number you set yourself for how long you want to study today.
Once it is set, any day you reach that amount counts as hitting your goal: your streak goes up by one, and so does your monthly count.
If you forget to study one day and break your streak, Aelano gives you streak repair cards to fill it back in:
The thinking behind repair cards: make the rhythm more forgiving, so one or two accidents do not break a long-term habit. But the cards are limited — you cannot patch things forever, and the rest of the time you still have to actually study.
Aelano defines study time fairly broadly — basically, anything you do inside Aelano that involves interacting with learning content counts:
Passive listening time also counts toward your total study time (passive input is still learning).
How is study time calculated?
It only counts the time you are actually interacting with learning content — the player is playing, you are going through Practice, you are doing review. Time with the app in the background does not count, and sitting on a screen without doing anything will not keep accumulating either.
Does passive listening count as study time?
Yes. Passive input is still learning. But it is not quite the same as active, focused study, and the breakdown makes that visible.
I definitely studied today, so why did my time not go up?
Usually a sync delay. When you switch between devices, study data accumulates locally first and then syncs to the cloud. Check again in a bit, or restart the app to trigger a sync.
How is the streak counted?
By the daily goal you set. Only a day that reaches the goal counts toward the streak. If your goal is 15 minutes and you only studied 10 minutes that day, it does not count.
Does missing one day reset the streak to zero?
Yes. But you can fill it back in with a streak repair card.
Do streak repair cards expire?
Cards you hold do not expire, but they can only fill in gaps from the last few days — a break from long ago cannot be repaired.
Can I change the daily goal at any time?
You can change it whenever you want. After you change it, that day and every day after are counted against the new goal. Past days are judged against whatever goal was in effect at the time.
Does this sync across devices?
Yes. Study time, streaks, and your goal setting all sync with your account.
