About

First Words

Read full description

SprachEntdecker helps children learn their first words in a language in a natural and intuitive way. Instead of abstract images, children see real videos from everyday life – animals, vehicles and scenes from the real world. Each word is spoken clearly and visually highlighted, so that meaning, image and language are directly connected. The app is intentionally calm and clearly structured. Clear speech, gentle animations and organized content allow focused learning – without overwhelm or sensory overload. SprachEntdecker offers three simple modes: • Discover – watch and listen to words • Quiz – recognize and reinforce what was heard • Explorer TV – short, guided video sequences SprachEntdecker supports multiple languages, allowing children to discover and learn their first words across different languages. Learning progress is gently made visible: words already known are recognized and clearly displayed, so children can build confidence in their own learning. SprachEntdecker was designed specifically for children – including children who develop language more slowly, are late talkers, or benefit from a particularly clear and low-stimulation learning environment.
