Subjects

Seven Learning Sections, Taught Bilingually

Structured lessons that build real understanding, paced for young learners — every word and lesson pairs German with English.

Alphabet — 30 Letters, Guided Tracing

All 30 letters of the German alphabet — 8 vowels and 22 consonants, including ä, ö, ü and ß — each with native audio and a guided tracing board that shows the correct stroke.

Learn Words

95 words across 12 topics — animals, body parts, colours, family, feelings, fruits, manners, nature, numbers, occupations, vegetables and vehicles — each with native German audio.

Math

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division — four topics of six guided steps each, with bilingual instructions.

Science

Five levels across two tracks — First Looks (weather & seasons, nature) and Going Further (life cycle, food chain, space) — explained simply and built up level by level.

Computers

Five levels across two tracks: Computer Basics (how computers work, what's inside one) and Internet Safety (a "Stop, Think, Ask" unit, smart online habits, and an AI-literacy unit on telling real from generated).

General Knowledge — Including Germany

Nine levels across three tracks: a Germany track (All About Germany, Cities & Landmarks, History & Famous People), a Europe & World track (our planet and maps, countries of Europe, countries and capitals, landmarks, the wider world), and Great Inventions.

English

A dedicated English subject across four levels — letters A–I, J–R, S–Z, and first words — so bilingual practice runs both ways.

Play & Practice

Learn Through Play

Creative and playful activities that reinforce every subject, built for kids to enjoy on their own.

Coloring & Drawing

123 tap-to-fill coloring pages plus dotted-guide tracing drawings — no mess, just a finger and a screen.

Bedtime Stories

8 illustrated stories, perfect for a calm, screen-time-friendly wind-down.

Sounds

A playful library of 34 everyday sound effects across 6 categories — animals, nature, vehicles, instruments, household, and people.

Parent & Young

A gentle matching game pairing 16 baby animals with their parents, for the youngest learners.

Practice

5 leveled practice games from Beginner to Master, drilling the words your child has already learned.

Offline Access

Lessons and activities work without an internet connection — great for trips or screen-time-limited zones.

For Families

Built With Parents in Mind

Tools that help parents guide, support, and celebrate their child's progress.

Parent Dashboard

See daily streaks, a 7-day activity view, weekly play-time goals, and exactly which topics your child has completed — all behind a parent gate.

Two Child Profiles

Set up a separate profile for each child, so siblings each learn at their own pace with their own progress and streaks.

Choose the Interface Language

Set the app's menus to German or English — the learning content itself always stays in German, so this only changes the chrome, not what your child is taught.

Home Screen Widget & Reminders

An iOS home screen widget shows the current streak at a glance, and optional daily reminders help build a consistent habit.

Bilingual by Design

Every word and lesson pairs German with English text and native German audio, so parents who don't speak German can still follow and help.

No Ads, Ever

Not "ad-light" — zero ads, no third-party tracking, and no chat or social features of any kind.
