How it works

Watch, practise, celebrate.

Three steps that turn into a habit. Every lesson takes a few minutes and always ends with a smile.

01

Watch the sign

Real videos of signers and a 3D avatar you can rotate, slow down or mirror.

02

Practise with the camera

Your phone recognises your hand shape and gives you hints on every try. Everything is processed on the device.

03

Celebrate every win

XP, streaks, quests and achievements so you’ll want to come back tomorrow.
