Language Islands gets you speaking — with the method language pros use: collect the sentences that matter to you and group them into small, themed islands. This isn't another textbook drilling you on fruit, colors, and "the apple is red." You bring the words from your real life — moving abroad, your partner's family, a trip, a new job, a language exam — and the translation and native-quality pronunciation appear in seconds. Listen. Repeat. Actively recall. That's how a language sticks where it counts: in real conversation. Learn to speak Spanish, French, Italian, German, Turkish, Portuguese, Dutch and more — from English, at your own pace. Build your own phrasebook, hear every sentence spoken by a natural voice, and practice out loud in short daily sessions. Made for real reasons to speak: • Moving to or living in another country • Understanding your partner's or in-laws' language • Getting ready for a trip • A new job, client, or work meetings • A speaking exam or school trip • Reviving a language you learned years ago No vocab drills. No endless word lists. Just your sentences, your islands, your pace. Start talking.

Learn German, one beat at a time. Klartakt is a calm, serious German course built around one idea: it is not enough to see a word. You have to meet it again, at the right moment, until it is yours. SPACED REPETITION THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Every card comes back just before you would have forgotten it. Words you find hard come back sooner; words you know get out of your way. Over 9,200 reviewed cards, A1 to C2. DER, DIE, DAS — SOLVED German genders are taught in colour, so they stick to the word instead of floating next to it. Plus noun plurals, verb forms and Perfekt. TALK, WITHOUT THE FEAR Gespräch is your AI conversation partner. Pick a situation — at the doctor, at the Amt, small talk with a neighbour — then type or hold to speak. It replies in German and shows you a corrected version of what you said, with the grammar lesson behind each fix. GRAMMAR IN SHORT BEATS 132 Grammatik-Takte: one idea at a time, with worked examples first and drills after. No wall of rules. IN YOUR LANGUAGE, FROM DAY ONE The whole app speaks 11 languages, including full right-to-left for Arabic and Persian. Beginners are never stranded in a German-only interface. LEARN TOGETHER Join a classroom, get homework from your teacher, and see how the class is doing. Add friends and compare progress. Most language apps leave you alone with a streak; this one does not. BUILT FOR THE EXAM Goethe and DTZ vocabulary tracks with a deadline-aware daily plan, so you know whether today's pace still gets you there. ALSO INSIDE • Listen mode — hands-free audio review for commutes and chores • Zahlen-Studio — numbers, prices, dates and clock times • Sprints — 60-second drills for genders, plurals and Perfekt • A dictionary with full verb conjugations • Import your own words from a photo, a link, or by typing FREE AND PRO Klartakt is free to use: 10 new words a day, and reviews are never capped.
