Satzly

Everything you need to read your way to German

Five tools that work together — a library to read from, instant translation while you read, and review tools that grow out of what you've actually seen.

A growing library

Original stories organized into series, spanning A1 through B2. Filter by CEFR level, genre, grammar focus, or read status to find exactly what fits.

Genres range from cozy slice-of-life ("Meine Haustiere") to a B2 detective series set in 1960s Vienna ("Die Geschichten des Maurice Dupuis").

Tap-to-translate

Every sentence is pre-analyzed word by word, so a tap resolves to the exact grammatical sense in play — the right one of several meanings a word might have, not a generic dictionary-lookup guess.

Tapping the word 'ruhiger' in a German story shows its translation, 'quiet', instantly.

Flashcards that remember

Words you look up while reading can be added to a review deck with one long-press. Reviews are scheduled with a spaced-repetition algorithm, so words resurface right before you'd forget them.

Comprehension quizzes

Every story ends with a short multiple-choice quiz, so reading turns into a checkpoint you can actually track — not just passive scrolling.

Grammar practice

New: Tenses

Dedicated grammar exercises beyond the stories themselves. The newest is Tenses — a drill for Perfekt, Präteritum, and Futur I conjugation, including reflexive verbs.
