## What is WortKlang DaF?

WortKlang DaF turns every German word into sound. A1–B2 learners hear each noun's grammatical gender as its own musical tone and see it glow in a distinct neon colour — grammar becomes intuitive and memorable.

Learn with all your senses:
• Vocabulary cards with genus tones, word-type sonification and a live synthwave oscilloscope
• Composita Builder — animated breakdown of compound nouns (Schlaf|zimmer, Geburts|tag); structural parallels for Chinese learners
• Four CEFR skills (NEW) — full Writing / Listening / Reading / Speaking modules for A1, A2, B1 and B2:
  · Writing trainer — 16 tasks (4 per level) with instant deterministic feedback + optional AI feedback (your own API key)
  · Listening — 16 multi-voice German audio texts (incl. four B2 expert interviews) with comprehension questions and on-demand transcript reveal
  · Reading — 16 graded texts (4 per level, incl. B2 essays), multiple-choice + true/false grading
  · Speaking — 16 free-recording tasks (4 per level, up to 120 seconds), strictly on-device speech recognition, live or long-form mode, keyword + word-count scoring + optional AI feedback
• Four B2 grammar games (NEW) — Konjunktiv Lab, Connector Challenge, Nominal & Passive Lab, Idiom Workshop: 114 curated items across 17 didactic modes (polite Konjunktiv, weil/denn/deshalb, wird-/ist-Passiv, 30 classic idioms)
• Three vocabulary quiz modes — Meaning Quiz · Listening Quiz · Typing Quiz
• Genus Challenge — tap the right article before the gender glows in neon
• Memory — flip-card pair matching; grid adapts to your task count (3 / 5 / 8 / 12 pairs)
• Word-Type Sprint — 8-second clock with level-scaled buttons, streak bonus
• Theme Detective — sort word chips into 2–4 themed bins

• Sentence Builder — drag colour-coded blocks; Interference Radar catches mother-tongue errors in 6 languages
• Block Dictation — sentence plays automatically; rebuild it from blocks without seeing the translation
• Fill-in-the-Blank — pick the missing noun in real sentences; correct word glows in its genus colour
• Situational Dialogues — 20 everyday A1–B2 scenarios with auto-spoken partner and 3 response choices (incl. 5 formal B2 scenarios)
• Pronunciation Training — live transcript + word-by-word colour-coded feedback
• 26 grammar tips across A1–B2 (incl. Konjunktiv II, state vs. process passive, nominalisation, genitive prepositions), 70 mnemonics (weekly featured rule)

Ambient Synthesis Engine:
Generative music adapts to your theme — eight presets from bright C-Major to exotic C-Phrygian-Dominant. Audiophiles tune all nine synth channels via Nerd Mode (rotary knobs, ADSR envelopes, analog speech processing). A Sound Mix panel balances ambient, SFX and speech independently. Three colour themes (Synthwave · Tiefsee · Mitternacht) personalise the look; the fixed genus colours (der=blue, die=pink, das=green) stay put.

Made for global learners:
• 3,166 vocabulary entries across 27 themes — 19 themes at A1/A2/B1 plus 8 new B2 themes (politics, economy, environment, science, digital, work, values, media)
• Interface in 6 languages (English, Deutsch, Français, Español, 日本語, 繁體中文)
• Universal app — iPhone + iPad, all orientations, 6 text sizes up to Accessibility
• 100% offline — no account, no tracking, no ads
