How it teaches

First you notice. Then you understand.

No rule tables up front. Every lesson starts with something to spot — the rule arrives the moment you're curious about it.

  1. 01Discover

    You notice the pattern yourself before any rule appears.

  2. 02Understand

    Colour, shape and motion show what each word is doing.

  3. 03Use it

    Minutes later you say it out loud in a real situation.

Tap the word that changed.

Speaking is the point

Not a chatbot. A café in Kreuzberg.

Talk out loud with characters who have a job to do. They slow down when you struggle, push you when you're flying, and quietly write down every mistake for later.

  • Roleplays: café, hotel, doctor, job interview, Bürgeramt…
  • Four correction styles, from relaxed to teacher mode
  • „Help me“ gives hints in four steps — never the answer first

Fix this weakness — 1 of 5
Kannst du   helfen?
It remembers you

Every mistake becomes a lesson.

Say „Er hilft mich“ in a conversation on Tuesday. On Wednesday it's in your review. On Thursday Kartoffel steers the conversation so you need „mir“. Five times right in a row: this weakness is becoming a strength.

One loop instead of five apps

Everything you do feeds everything else.

Twelve steps, one loop. A mistake you make while speaking on Tuesday shapes the exercise you get on Wednesday and the conversation you have on Thursday.
