Seedlang's focus is on improving your German speaking and listening skills. We do this by building interactive experiences using videos of native speakers. We‘ve built this app in a partnership with the Easy German Youtube channel and have a strong focus on teaching German with real people and authentic language. Why Seedlang? Simply put, we combine real humor and fun with a deep understanding of the German language. We craft experiences that are unlike others you have experienced before. === Interactive stories We use video to tell stories that are fun, surprising, and memorable. This will help to give context to what you are learning and make building new memories feel effortless. === A new type of flashcards You've never seen flashcards like these before. They combine video, speaking practice, and embedded grammar to create a fun and effective learning experience. === Active learning through speaking Recording audio of your speech and comparing it with that of native speakers allows you to improve your pronunciation. As you practice these improvements, your muscle memory for the language strengthens and speaking becomes effortless. === Grammar at your fingertips We are most receptive to learning grammar after we've made a mistake. So, if you make a mistake with a word, simply click it to display detailed grammar information. It's like having a grammar book always ready to tell you what you need to know, when you need to know it. === Customize your learning Use our vocab trainer to build flashcard decks tailored to specific vocabulary that you want to learn. Each card is pulled from one of our stories and has all of the fun context that will make this vocabulary easy to remember. === Trivia game Test your German comprehension by competing against other German students in an interactive trivia game.

Best language training app I know of
09/21/2021

Seedlang sets a standard for app-based language learning. I have experimented with Duolingo, Babbel, Drops, even Rosetta Stone. And while I believe that exploiting as many programs as possible is the best way to reinforce your progress, Seedlang could stand alone if you were forced to choose just one. There is a practicality in the way lessons are presented, providing the learner with real-world examples of the German language as it is used by native speakers. You can see video representations of the scenarios presented, you can watch and listen to the way the educators articulate each word, you can create your own review decks, you can gain an understanding of the complex grammatical underpinnings of the language that are so often glazed over with language learning apps. There are stories associated with lessons that help bolster retention and are quite funny to boot (no small feat for a German language course)! It just feels good to learn with Seedlang and keeps me coming back for more, even on the days where I feel stilted or bored with my progression towards fluency. If you’re serious about learning the language, try this!

German is my second language, but it’s been almost 30 years since I lived in Germany and spoke German daily. I listen to German audiobooks regularly so I have good comprehension skills but my spoken German has degraded considerably. I needed serious help with restoring my active vocab and relearning word genders and plural forms. Seedlang is amazing! I wish I had this when I learned German the first time. Seedlang not only provides an entertaining, interactive, and visually pleasing experience, it provides the learner with the ability to tailor and customize the learning experience. When you encounter a difficult word or phrase, just add it to your “My Reviews” queue. The My Review function brilliant! It allows you to review all those difficult words, genders, plural forms, etc whenever you want and to customize the frequency with which you see them in the queue. Seedlang also provides the learner with context-specific rules for gender and plural forms which are SUPER helpful. I wish I had learned these rules ages ago. Highly recommended.

The best language learning app

I’ve used half a dozen apps, this is by far the most effective and engaging. Seedlang has created something unique, with the videos of real people and customizable decks, they‘ve created an app that feels very tailored and personal, it feels like private tutoring without the cost of private tutoring.I especially love the encouraging messages at the end of each deck, I normally find that sort of thing obnoxious and insincere but Cari’s messages feel very sincere. As someone who got a college degree online and now works in ed tech, I have some idea of how hard it is to accomplish what they’ve accomplished here. I truly haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else. And it works! I have short term memory deficiencies, and I’ve found that Seedlang‘s spaced repetition approach is very effective. After a couple of months of not using the app because I was busy with other things, I came back and found that I remembered almost everything in my review decks.

This app has everything Duolingo is lacking

This is a great app to use in tandem with Duolingo. Duolingo teaches you a lot of vocab, but kind of leaves you on your own to figure out how you’re supposed to use it. Seedlang does a good job of explaining when you’re supposed to use each case and why. I also like that Seedlang lets you play back what you’ve spoken as well as the prompt video so you can compare how you sound to a true German speaker. I’ve been finding out that the way it sounds like I’m speaking in my head is not very often how I actually sound. There’s a lot more I can say on what this app does better than Duolingo, and there’s also a few things I think Duolingo does better. As such, I think it’s best to use both together. Kind of like how some people take actual German lessons simultaneously while using Duolingo.

We have many bug fixes and improvements in this release! - Improvements with video playback and recording audio. - Audio playback should only play audio recorded on the current card. - Fixed an issue where clicking through different words wouldn't display the video.
