Satzly is an offline German learning app built around reading engaging stories, rather than relying on flashcard drills alone.
Open a story, and any word you don't know is just a single tap away from its translation. You get the translation used in that specific sentence, not a generic dictionary guess, so you can keep reading without breaking your flow and learn new vocabulary along the way.
FEATURES
Library full with original stories
Enjoy original German stories written by a native speaker and organized into series from CEFR A1 through B2. You can filter by level, genre, grammar focus, or read status to find exactly what fits, whether that is a cozy slice-of-life scene or a B2 detective series set in 1960s Vienna.
Tap-to-translate that understands context
Every sentence is pre-analyzed. When you tap a word, it resolves to its meaning in that context and also grammar information alongside it.
Flashcards
You can easily add any word to your deck. Reviews are scheduled using a spaced-repetition algorithm, so words resurface right before you are about to forget them.
Comprehension quizzes
Every story ends with a short multiple-choice quiz, turning your reading into a trackable checkpoint rather than just passive scrolling.
Grammar practice
You an practice specific grammar points whenever you want. Certain exercises are linked directly to your reading progress. You will encounter sentences you have read in those grammar drills.
Guided path
If you prefer a more organised way of learning, there is a structured A1 course that gives you a step-by-step way to advance stories and grammar points.
