Step into 68 detailed everyday scenes. Tap what you see to hear it, find it, and say it — the way you actually meet new words in real life.
Three ways to learn
Every picture works as a tiny world you learn by exploring — not a flashcard you memorize.
Tap any object to hear its German name in natural, native-spoken audio and see the word appear right where it lives.
“Wo ist…?” Listen to a word and tap the right object in the scene. Recognition that sticks, because it's in context.
Say the word out loud and get instant feedback from on-device speech recognition — your voice never leaves your phone.
How it works
Every scene walks you through the same natural loop — see it, hear it, find it, say it, master it. Here's the whole thing in one bathroom.
Choose from 68 everyday worlds — Küche (kitchen), Markt (market), Arzt (doctor), and more. Eight are free to explore right away.
Tap any object and its German word appears right on the spot, spoken in natural native audio. No lists, no rote — you meet words where they actually live.
The app asks “Wo ist…?” and you tap the right object. Because the answer sits in a real scene, recognition sticks far better than a flashcard ever could.
Say the word and on-device speech recognition checks your pronunciation instantly. Your voice never leaves your phone — it works fully offline.
Every scene scores your first-try confidence and fills up its stars as you improve. A weekly leaderboard turns “one more scene” into a daily habit.
Why it works
A picture paired with a word is remembered far better than a word alone — decades of dual-coding research back it up. Picture Scenes turns that into a habit.
