About this app

Sensonym is the vocabulary game where your body learns the language. Master Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, or English by moving your phone. Shake, tilt, blow, smile, and walk through words your muscles will actually remember, inside cinematic stories you play.

WHY THIS APP WORKS

Physical movement strengthens memory. Words you act out live in your body, not on a flashcard. Sensonym is a vocabulary trainer, a language learning game, and an interactive story experience in one, an immersive way to practice a language for people who watch their flashcards fade overnight.

CINEMATIC STORIES

Every word is part of the plot. Start any story free.

• THROUGH THE FLOOR: A K-drama set backstage in Seoul. An idol whose voice keeps failing is rebuilt, in secret, by the deaf man who cleans the practice rooms. Feel the beat through the floor and hum a melody back to life. For K-pop and K-drama fans.
• POLARIS: Alone in a frozen Arctic station, descend toward a signal beneath the ice. Tilt to navigate, wipe frost, tune a broken radio.
• THE COURIER: Berlin, 1963. Carry a dead handler's secret across the Wall and learn who to trust. Hold the phone to your ear for whispered intel.
• BOSPHORUS BLUE: Istanbul. Document a condemned house on the water and the secret its caretaker guards. A slow-burn drama with Turkish in every scene.
• FIRST WORDS: Wake on an unknown shore and learn your first words to survive and be welcomed.
• More stories added regularly.

40+ SENSOR-BASED GESTURES

Every word maps to a unique physical gesture:
• Shake your phone to break free
• Bring it to your ear for a whispered secret
• Blow gently to clear smoke from the writing
• Tilt to navigate ice fields and alleyways
• Smile at the camera to earn trust
• Lay the phone flat to feel a rhythm through the floor
• Wipe frost to reveal a hidden word
• Walk to advance through scenes
• And dozens more sensor-based language games

At the end of each chapter, a quick review helps you memorize the words you just learned.
