About this app

Sensonym is a language-learning app that helps you remember vocabulary through movement and interactive stories. Learn Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, or English by shaking, tilting, walking, smiling, and more.

Every new word becomes part of a story. Use your phone's sensors to take action inside each scene, connecting vocabulary with meaning, context, and movement. A short review after every chapter helps you practice the words you just learned.

LEARN VOCABULARY BY MOVING

Sensonym includes more than 40 sensor-based interactions:
• Shake your phone to break free
• Hold it to your ear to hear a secret
• Blow gently to clear smoke
• Tilt to navigate ice fields and alleyways
• Smile to earn a character's trust
• Lay the phone flat to feel a rhythm
• Wipe frost to reveal a word
• Walk to move through a scene

INTERACTIVE STORY ADVENTURES

Vocabulary appears in the context of characters, places, and choices:
• THROUGH THE FLOOR: Enter the backstage world of a K-drama in Seoul and help bring a lost melody back to life.

• A feelgood adventure in three chapters. Ada has lost the hill derby for forty years, and the champion cheats. Build her cart, bet on the rain and steer it down the hill.
• 32 words, each learned by doing: point the camera at something green, clap with the crowd, shake the paint can, turn the phone like a steering wheel.
• Fully localized in all ten app languages, with its own music.
