Why this course
Not textbook German
with a Swiss flag on it.
One dialect, clearly named. The course teaches Zürich German instead of blending regional varieties together.
Designed for German speakers. Familiar High German is used as the bridge—not as the destination.
No account required. The course, audio, phrasebook, and learning progress work directly on your iPhone.

Before you say Grüezi.
Is Swiss German different from German?
Yes. Swiss German covers a family of Alemannic dialects used in everyday speech. This course uses High German as a bridge into the Zürich dialect.
Which dialect does the app teach?
Zürich German. The course names the region clearly so you know which pronunciation, vocabulary, and expressions you are learning.
Do I need to speak German already?
The course is designed for German speakers and learners who can already follow written High German.
Can I use the app offline?
Yes. The complete course ships with the app, and phrase playback uses the German speech voice installed on your iPhone.
