Read it. Hear it.Remember it.
Short German stories to read and listen to at the same time, with ten new words in every story.
The current story shelf presents three illustrated episodes: Der Sonntagsroboter, Schüler Nummer einundzwanzig, and Pass und Ketchup. Each gives learners a short reading and listening session, along with ten new words to meet in context. The covers, duration, and word count make choosing a story feel simple and inviting.
Three stories available in the current working build.
The same story selection adapts to a narrow screen. Illustrated covers remain the focus; the selected story reveals its English title, approximate length, new-word count, and a clear “Open and listen” action.
The desktop reader opens like a book. A German sentence sits alongside its English meaning and an illustration. Narration moves through the pages so listening and reading can reinforce one another instead of competing for attention.
The open-book view of Schüler Nummer einundzwanzig.
On a phone, the reading page arranges the illustration, German sentence, English translation, and vocabulary note in a vertical flow. Color marks selected words, and a star lets learners keep a word they want to revisit.
Pass und Ketchup shows how new vocabulary appears in context rather than as an isolated list. The translation and the short word notes help the learner connect a phrase to its meaning while the story continues.
The My Words panel brings saved vocabulary together with English meanings. Stars let a learner mark words while reading and come back to them afterward.
The reader offers slow, normal, and fast voice options. Learners can show or hide English and choose whether the spoken word is shaded as the narration progresses. These controls let the same story support different levels of confidence.
