What's New

We build "Hallo Otti!" for everyone who learns German for everyday life. Here we write down what changes and why, the newest first.

  1. Learning That Fits a Normal Day

    A big update, so that German fits into your day and not the other way round:
    • a daily goal you choose, from 5 to 50 answers
    • today's mistakes, practised once more
    • gaps in real sentences, in the form the sentence needs
    • Otti explains a mistake in your language
    • "Decode a Letter": paste a German text and see which words you know
    • Otti's map of Berlin, which fills up with your scenarios
    • a daily reminder and Otti's weekly diary by email
    • the whole app in German too
  2. Five Ways to Meet a Word

    A word now comes back as a flashcard, a choice, typing, listening or der/die/das, so you know it from every side, not only from its card.
    Every word has a picture of Otti now, and every page has its language in the address: a link you share opens in your language.
  3. A Dictionary for Everyone

    Every word in the dictionary has its own page with examples, forms, grammar and pronunciation, open to everyone, no account needed.
    The search forgives typos and finds a word from its translation too: "кава" finds Kaffee.
  4. Hallo, Otti!

    The first version: Otti's everyday scenarios, cards that come back just before you would forget them (spaced repetition with FSRS), and Otti, a hedgehog in Berlin who grows with every answer.

Thank you for learning with Otti!
