What are TalkingBooks?

TalkingBooks are immersive learning tools designed to help you pick up German by combining reading and listening. You can follow along by tapping through the text at your own pace or let it play automatically while you listen and watch the phrases light up. Perfect for anyone looking to improve their vocabulary, pronunciation, and comprehension in a natural, intuitive way.

How do I access TalkingBooks?

There are two different ways you can enjoy this immersive learning experience for German learners, either directly in your web browser (recommended) or by downloading the EPUB file and opening it in a third-party app of your choice (requires EPUB3 with media overlay support).

Is this subscription based?

Nope. Life is too short for pricy subscriptions. Once you purchase a TalkingBook edition it's yours to keep forever.
