Survival in Germany
Learn German the way you actually need it — through visual stories.
Why comics?
Let's be honest: textbooks are boring. And after years of studying German, you still freeze when the bakery lady asks “Noch etwas?”
We believe the best way to learn a language is to see it in action. Our comic scenes drop you into real German situations — ordering at a bakery, dealing with Deutsche Bahn delays, surviving the Ausländerbehörde — complete with synchronized audio, vocabulary, grammar notes, and cultural insights.
It's like watching a show, but you're actually learning. Sneaky, right?
What you get
Free to learn, optional to track
All learning content is free. Always.
Every comic scene, every vocabulary card, every audio clip — no paywall, no registration required. Just open and start learning.
We're building premium features for learners who want to track their progress:
Think of it this way: the library is free, but the personal study planner costs a coffee or two.
Your data, your choice
No account? No problem. All learning materials work without registration. Your casual browsing stays on your device.
Want progress tracking across devices? That requires an account — but we only store what's necessary for the features you use. No selling data, no creepy tracking. We're language nerds, not data brokers.
Built with you, not just for you
This is a “build in public” project. That means we share our progress, listen to feedback, and let the community shape what we build next.
What scenario do you wish existed?
Struggling at the Bürgeramt? Lost at IKEA? Tell us! We read every suggestion and prioritize based on what learners actually need.
Who's behind this?
Just someone who moved to Germany, struggled with the language, and thought “there has to be a better way.”
If this tool helps you survive (and eventually thrive) in Germany, consider buying me a coffee. It keeps the servers running and the comics coming.
