FAQ

Common questions

Is it free?

Yes. The full library of 200 stories, the A1–B2 course with 128 lessons and all 8 trainers are free forever. The AI features — live conversations, oral exam rehearsal, debriefs, imports — run on ✦ sparks, and every new account starts with a welcome pack of ✦100.

Which languages?

Vokki teaches German. The interface and side-by-side translations are available in English, Ukrainian, Russian and Polish.

What level can I reach?

A1 to B2, aligned with the Goethe-Institut exams. Stories are graded by level so you always read at the edge of your ability.

How does reading work?

Five modes: side-by-side parallel, sentence-by-sentence, full original, hidden translation (reveal on tap), and split screen. Tap any sentence to hear it.

What about audio?

Three modes: German only, bilingual (DE → your language), and 3× immersion cycle. Recorded with neural voices, streamed from CDN — no bulky downloads.

What trainers are included?

Eight: article quiz (der/die/das), crossword, sprint, listening, brainstorm, grammar (Kasus), translation and challenge. All progress synced across devices.

What's in the course?

128 lessons across 29 modules, A1 → B2. Vocabulary, exercises and grammar drills built around real-world topics.

Can I import my own text?

Yes. Paste any article or text and Vokki generates the bilingual reader with native German audio in minutes. An import is paid with ✦ sparks on any plan. Bilingual and 3× audio for your imports is a Vokki Pro feature — the free tier gets German-only audio.

Are there podcasts?

Yes. Every lesson has a podcast episode in your interface language — listen on the go and reinforce what you learned. 128 episodes per pair.

What about YouTube?

Paste any YouTube URL with subtitles and Vokki turns it into a bilingual reader with synced audio. Great for learning from videos you already love.

Why is Vokki Pro paid?

Because every AI minute costs real money. Live conversations run on a realtime speech model, we narrate texts with ElevenLabs, and YouTube subtitles come from a separate paid provider. ✦ sparks pay for that usage, and Vokki Pro adds ✦400 of them every month. The 200 stories, the whole course and all 8 trainers stay free.

Can I speak German with the app?

Yes. 96 role-play scenes and free-topic calls: you speak out loud, the AI tutor answers and keeps the conversation going. The moment you hang up you get a debrief — what worked, where you slipped, which words you were missing. There is also an oral exam rehearsal before the real one.

What are ✦ sparks?

Sparks are what the AI features run on: conversations, exam rehearsal, debriefs, imports and word breakdowns. A new account gets a welcome pack of ✦100 — enough for your first AI conversations and an import. After that Vokki Pro adds ✦400 every month, and you can top up whenever you want. Reading, the course and the trainers never cost sparks.

from the maker

Honestly — I built it for myself

Vokki grew out of walks. I used to listen to long narrated stories on YouTube where each sentence comes in German first, then the translation. You walk through the park, German plus your language in your ears, and words just stick.

One thing was missing: hear a word in the story and drill it later. So I added texts with synced audio — words highlight as the voice reads them. Then flashcards. Then YouTube import. That's how Vokki came to be.

Now I use it every day, along with thousands of others. If it helps you too — drop me a line, it matters.
