Learn German: Word Story
Fun stories, words that stick
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad
German vocabulary that sticks! Funny mnemonic stories teach meaning, sound & even der/die/das together. 1000+ words and counting.
Learn German words that actually stick.
Most German vocabulary slips away because you memorize it like a phone number. WordStory takes a different path: every word comes with its own short, funny story that links the word's sound to its meaning — so your brain has something vivid to hold on to. "sein" sounds like "sign". "ich" sounds like "ick". Once you've laughed at the story, the word is yours.
WHY IT WORKS
• Mnemonic stories: A hilarious mini-story and memorable illustration for every single word.
• Sound-alike memory hooks: Words are tied to familiar English sounds, so pronunciation sticks too.
• Articles included: Every noun is taught as der/die/das + word in one chunk — no separate gender drills needed.
• Audio for every word: Hear correct native-style pronunciation whenever you want.
HOW YOU LEARN
• Swipe to memorize: Flick right when a word sticks, left to see it again later. It feels like a game.
• Smart review sessions: Words you're less sure about resurface until they're solid.
• Active recall quizzes: Test yourself on recent and mastered words to lock them into long-term memory.
• Track your journey: Daily goals, streaks, stats, milestones, and home screen widgets keep you motivated.
