Dějiny Prahy jsou spjaté i s jejím německým obyvatelstvem a jeho kulturou. SAMSA tě zavede na místa, jež nesou stopu této „německé Prahy“ – jsou spojená s činností německy mluvících architektů, výtvarných umělců, literátů, hudebníků, spolků, škol a dalších institucí. U každého místa appka nabízí německý text se základním popisem, informacemi k jeho dějinám a roli v kulturním životě, a několik současných i historických fotografií. Výklad stojí na ověřených zdrojích, ale nezahltí tě. Objevuj s mobilem v ruce pozapomenutou součást dějin města! Aplikace vznikla v rámci společného projektu Shromáždění německých spolků v ČR a studentů i učitelů germanistiky na Filozofické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy. Počet hesel bude průběžně rozšiřován.

Utterance is a Japanese conversation learning app for the purpose of "remembering whole Japanese sentences". You will be able to utter the sentence you want to speak immediately, so please use it for communication with overseas people. [How to Use] There is a typical example of an Japanese sentence you want to know, for example, >English: How do you do? >Japanese: 初めまして。 This app will provide you the chance of following 1. Enter a sentence that you want to remember as a whole. 2. Using the iPhone's or iPad's reading function, you can hear the Japanese sentences. English : 1 time Japanese : More than once (10 times max) Read aloud example: English : I will manage this problem within today. Japanese : この件は、私が今日中に、なんとかします。 Japanese : この件は、私が今日中に、なんとかします。 Japanese : この件は、私が今日中に、なんとかします。 And you can set the speech interval from 0 to 5 seconds, so it is possible to try to speak by yourself until the next utterance. Customizable function ・ BGM ON / off for relaxing and learning ・ Background playback for commuting ・ Loading text data created with another editor such as a PC ・ Reference text data for backup and sharing, etc ・ Individual setting of voice rate and voice pitch for each title Please note If there is a loss of headphones or a call is received while speaking, the voice is stopped and the screen returns to the “Title input screen”. It may also stop after a few minutes. If you want to continue using it, please resume from that scene. If you have any comments or requests, please send comments from the website. We will improve the product so that it can be used for a long time.
