FLASHCARDS
Two right answers and it’s learned.
A new word is asked twice. The second time comes at least ten minutes later, so it is real recall and not a repeat. After that it comes back for review: a day later, then at longer and longer intervals.
HOW COINS WORK
One coin for every right answer.
Coins drop into a glass jar on your home screen. Sentences pay two, and so does the answer that makes a word learned. Coins can’t be bought: every one in the jar is an answer you got right.
SENTENCES
Practice the words in sentences.
Every word comes with three example sentences, and it meets you in a different one each time. Pick the word that fits the gap. Then see the sentence in English, if you want to.
LISTENING · MATCHING
Hear it. Type it.Match it.
Every word and every sentence is read aloud from a recording, with no connection needed. Type what you hear, or pair words with their meanings.
More practices open as your words add up: Articles (der, die or das?) at 100 words, Opposites at 250, Adverbs and conjunctions at 500.
THE GARDEN
Spend your coins on plants.
Eighteen plants, from an echeveria to a lemon tree, and four kinds of tile: stone and wooden paths, grass and ponds. Turn the garden with a finger and hold a plant to move it. When every spot is taken, save the garden as a picture and start a new one.
And when your phone goes dark, the string lights come on.

GARDEN FOR TWO
Grow a gardenwith a friend.
One of you makes a six-character code, the other types it in, and from then on you plant in the same garden. Every plant wears the ribbon of whoever planted it, and a bar shows how many coins each of you has spent.
A one-time in-app purchase. You both unlock it.
