A stranger asks you to watch her bag. The crew swears she never boarded. Two Passengers, a night-train mystery, is waiting on the platform.
You won't memorize these words. You'll live them.
Master Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, or English by moving your body. Shake. Tilt. Blow. Smile. Walk. In Sensonym, every word is a physical action your muscles remember, woven into a cinematic story you play through.
WHY IT WORKS
Vocabulary you act out lives in your body, not on a flashcard. Physical movement builds memory in ways that tapping and swiping can't. Sensonym turns your phone's sensors into memory anchors, so the word you tilted to reach, or smiled to unlock, comes back when you need it.
CINEMATIC STORIES
Every word is part of the plot. Start any story free.
• THROUGH THE FLOOR: A K-drama set backstage in Seoul. An idol whose voice keeps failing is rebuilt, in secret, by the deaf man who cleans the practice rooms. Feel the beat through the floor. Hum a melody back to life.
• POLARIS: Alone in a frozen Arctic station, descend toward a signal beneath the ice. Tilt to navigate, wipe frost from the glass, tune a broken radio.
• THE COURIER: Berlin, 1963. Carry a dead handler's secret across the Wall and learn who to trust. Hold the phone to your ear for whispered intel. Crack a safe by feel.
• BOSPHORUS BLUE: Istanbul. Document a condemned house on the water, and the secret its caretaker guards. A slow-burn drama with a word in every scene.
• FIRST WORDS: Wake on an unknown shore and learn your first words to survive, and to be welcomed. Smile to be trusted. Walk to explore.
• More stories added regularly.

This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Every noun now shows its article.
If you are learning German, Spanish, or French, new nouns now appear with their article (der, die, das / el, la / le, la, l'). You learn a word's gender the moment you meet it, instead of looking it up later.
Thank you for every review and email. They tell me what to build next.
