Allegra - Learn Swiss Romansch
Sursilvan lessons & dictionary
Free · In‑App Purchases
New in 2.0: climb the course from valley to summit, press 20 badges in wax, and keep today's Sursilvan word on your home screen. Every word still checked.
Allegra teaches Sursilvan, the most widely spoken of the five written standards of Romansh — Switzerland's fourth national language, spoken by around 40,000 people in a single canton.
Not Rumantsch Grischun. Not a blend of the valleys. One written standard, taught properly.
EVERY WORD IS CHECKED
The course teaches 1,537 words, and every one is a headword in the Pledari Grond, the dictionary of the Lia Rumantscha. A learner cannot tell a correct word from a plausible one, so Allegra does not print Romansh it cannot check. In 2026 the whole course was checked a second time against half a million words of Sursilvan schoolbooks, and hundreds of corrections came out of it.
THE COURSE
• 85 lessons across 17 chapters — basics, numbers, daily life, travel, food, family, nature, Swiss culture, verbs, grammar, shopping, health, work, education and more
• 24 dialogues: the restaurant, the train, the doctor, the ski slope, a job interview, a village feast
• 1,537 example sentences, one for every word, each one containing the word it teaches
• Flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule, so a word comes back when you are about to lose it
• Quizzes drawn from your own vocabulary rather than a fixed bank
A DICTIONARY, NOT ONLY A COURSE
Every word Allegra teaches is searchable — in Romansh, English, German, Italian or French. «Hütte» and «capanna» both find camona. Each entry says which lesson taught it, and the whole thing reads A to Z.
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Every Romansh word is explained in English, German, Italian or French — and so is everything the app writes around it: lesson subtitles, chapter names, grammar rules, culture notes. The Romansh stays Romansh, which is the point.
THE LANGUAGE ITSELF
A section on Romansh as it actually is: the five idioms side by side, one word written four ways; the Latin still visible in everyday vocabulary, where panem became paun and manum became maun; a timeline from Rome taking Raetia in 15 BC to a canton that prints everything three times; and a word of the day with a month of archive behind it.
BUILT LIKE A BOOK
Serif headwords, generous margins, light and dark. No streaks you cannot switch off, no badges, no notifications begging you back.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
The course works entirely offline. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Your progress never leaves your device.
FREE TO TRY
The Basics chapter and the first two dialogues are free — enough to judge the course by. Premium opens all 85 lessons, all 24 dialogues and the full deck.

Allegra 2.0 turns the course into a climb, and gives you a reason to come back every day.
THE CLIMB
The 17 chapters are now a route from valley to summit — Val at the start, a Camona halfway, Spitg at the top. The ibex marks the stage you are on, and the Continue card on the first screen tells you which stage that is.
A DAILY GOAL, AND A STREAK THAT FORGIVES
Pick 50, 100 or 200 XP a day and watch the ring close. One lesson clears the gentlest goal; the others ask for a real session. Miss a day and your streak survives — one rest day a week, no more. Finishing a dialogue now earns XP, as it always should have.
TWENTY BADGES, PRESSED IN WAX
From your first lesson to the summit — ten lessons, a hundred days, a thousand words, two hundred cards mastered. Each is a wax seal, and the moment you earn one it is pressed onto the screen. If you already qualified for some, they are simply there: no burst of celebrations for things you did months ago.
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Two widgets. Plaid dal di puts today's word — with its pronunciation and a sentence — on your home screen, and changes at midnight. Finamira shows your goal ring and your streak. Both follow the language you chose for meanings.
PRACTICE THAT EXPLAINS
Practice mixes matching, filling the gap, typing the word from memory and multiple choice. A wrong answer is no longer just red: it shows the word with its gender and pronunciation, the meaning in your language, the sentence it came from, and — for irregular plurals and verbs — what makes it irregular.
Every lesson, dialogue, practice and flashcard session also has a report button, for the word you think is wrong.
BIGGER ON IPAD
Flashcards now use the space an iPad gives them.
MINOR CORRECTIONS
