LEARN GERMAN FOR REAL LIFE IN GERMANY Bretzi teaches practical German for everyday life, work, speaking, and integration in Germany. Practise real situations: visit the Hausarzt, call customer service, talk to your Vermieter, prepare for a Bürgeramt appointment, or study for DTZ and Leben in Deutschland. WHY IS BRETZI DIFFERENT? Most German apps teach textbook phrases. Bretzi prepares you for life in Germany: explain symptoms, ask for a referral, handle appointments, talk to your landlord, or order coffee without switching to English. MEET YOUR AI GERMAN BUDDY Speak with a personal AI German tutor that adapts to your level, interests, and learning history. Job interview, school meeting, dentist visit, or public-office appointment tomorrow? Describe it, get a custom lesson, and practice live. If stuck, use “repeat that”, “what should I say?”, “explain it simply”, or “speak slowly”. Create a plan focused on past mistakes and weak spots. TALK ABOUT GERMAN NEWS Discover weekly German current events based on your interests and discuss the news by voice. SPEAK, LISTEN, AND WRITE WITH CONFIDENCE Pronunciation Feedback Say German aloud. See which sounds or letters—including ä, ö, ü, and ß—need work and improve step by step. Real-Life Missions Correct a restaurant bill, make an appointment, ask for help, or complain to your landlord. Writing & Grammar Improve spelling and sentences with gap fills, dictation, formal emails, and instant grammar feedback. Listen & Find Listen to German and spot the hidden word. SMART LESSONS & EXAM PREPARATION Beginners start with useful words and simple sentences; grammar is introduced gradually. Prepare for DTZ, Goethe, telc, TestDaF, and Leben in Deutschland with reading, writing, listening, speaking, and culture practice. Review exam mistakes with answers and explanations. On retries, skip correct questions until you have seen the full pool. If lessons feel hard, the Bretzi mascot can suggest an easier start. FSP simulation for doctors: practice the Fachsprachprüfung with fictional cases, an AI patient and an AI senior physician. The cases are AI-assisted and not yet reviewed by a physician. Voice practice uses in-app purchase minutes. This app is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Consult a healthcare professional for medical advice. Not affiliated with any Ärztekammer. BUILD A STRONG GERMAN VOCABULARY Word Collections Explore illustrated collections: numbers, colors, animals, food, and more. Learn each word with translation, an example, and grammar notes. Add a collection with one tap. Smart Memory System Bretzi tracks difficult words and brings them back at the right time for efficient recall.

Hakina

Hakina, Antakya Arapçası'nı (Hatay yöresel lehçesi) öğrenmen için tasarlanmış bir uygulamadır. Bu lehçe binlerce yıllık bir kültürün taşıyıcısıdır — ve bugün, kuşaklar arası bağlar zayıfladıkça yavaş yavaş kayboluyor. Hakina'yı yaptık çünkü Antakya'nın dili sadece bir konuşma şekli değil; o, Habib-i Neccar'ın, Defne bahçelerinin, Asi Nehri'nin, antik Antiocheia'nın hatırasıdır. Annenden, babandan, dedenden duyduğun kelimelerin sesi. NELER VAR? OYUN Her gün 12 yeni kelime. Anagram bulmaca tarzında, eğlenceli ve etkili. Üç seviye: Başlangıç, Orta, İleri. Otomatik seviye atlama — kendini sınamadan zorlanmadan ilerle. SÖZLÜK 130'dan fazla kelime, 9 farklı kategori altında: Selamlaşma, Aile, Yiyecekler, Renkler, Sayılar, Vücut, Zaman, Doğa, Hayvanlar. Her biri için Arapça yazım, halkça transkripsiyon ve Türkçe karşılığı. SES KAYITLARI 130'dan fazla kelime için anadil konuşurun ses kayıtları. İlk dinlemede telefonuna kaydedilir, sonra çevrimdışı bile çalışır. ATASÖZLERİ VE CÜMLELER Antakya'nın bilgeliği — atasözleri ve günlük konuşma kalıpları. Her biri Türkçe açıklamalı. DİLBİLGİSİ Zamirler, saat ifadeleri, bağlaçlar — temel gramer yapı taşları, sade ve net anlatımla. ROZET SİSTEMİ 19 farklı rozet — Habib, Seleucus, Antiochus, Defne, Hızır, Pierre, Mozaik, Musa, Roma, Apamea, Orontes, Simon, Silpius, Decumanus ve daha fazlası. Her biri Antakya tarihinden bir figürü temsil ediyor. TOPLULUK Diğer Antakyalılar ve dil meraklılarıyla tanış. Sorular sor, cevaplar paylaş, birlikte öğren. Misafir olarak da gezebilir, Google ile giriş yaparak topluluğa katılabilirsin. KİMLER İÇİN? - Antakya/Hatay göçmenleri ve çocukları - Büyüklerinin dilini öğrenmek isteyen yeni nesil - Lehçe ve dil meraklıları - Suriye/Lübnan Arapçası bilenler — karşılaştırmak için - Antakya kültürüne ilgi duyan herkes NEDEN HAKİNA? Hakina, akademik bir Arapça eğitim aracı değildir. Bu, bir lehçeyi yaşatmaya çalışan bir kültürel projedir. Her kelime, her ses kaydı, her atasözü, kaybolmaması için kayıt altına alınmıştır. GİZLİLİK Hakina kişisel verilerini korur. Email adresin uygulama veritabanında saklanmaz. Engelleme ve raporlama özellikleriyle topluluk güvendedir. KVKK ve GDPR ilkelerine uygun şekilde tasarlanmıştır. ABONELİK BİLGİSİ Hakina ücretsiz olarak indirilebilir. Aşağıdaki Premium özellikleri abonelikle açılır: - Sınırsız günlük kelime oyunu (ücretsiz: 5 kelime/gün) - Tüm ses kayıtlarına sınırsız erişim (ücretsiz: 10 kayıt/gün) Abonelik Planları: - Aylık Premium: 39,00 TL - Yıllık Premium: 199,00 TL Aboneliğiniz, mevcut dönem sonundan en az 24 saat önce iptal edilmediği sürece otomatik olarak yenilenir.
