Learn a language with pictures, not translation.
Depicty shows you a sentence built entirely out of icons. You say it out loud in your target language, and speech recognition tells you instantly if you got it right.
No words. Just say it.

Most apps teach you to translate. Depicty teaches you to think in the language, one icon-built sentence at a time.
See the sentence
Every sentence is a short row of icons — no English, no translation to lean on. You have to actually understand it.
Say it out loud
Speak the sentence in your target language. Depicty listens with on-device speech recognition, not a multiple-choice quiz.
Get graded instantly
Accent-tolerant grading checks you're close enough — not word-perfect — and tracks the strength of every verb you practice.
Everything you'd want from a language app — minus the translating
Placement test
Start where you belong. A quick placement test places you at a level from 1 to 5 instead of forcing everyone through the same beginner drills.
Spaced repetition, per verb
Every verb has its own strength meter. Depicty resurfaces the ones you're forgetting and backs off the ones you've nailed.
Accent-tolerant speech grading
Grading is built to accept a real accent, not just a native speaker's. It checks whether you communicated, not whether you're flawless.
XP, streaks, and hearts
Five hearts per training session, a streak to keep, XP for every correct answer — enough game to keep you coming back daily.
Practice mode
Jump into any verb or topic on demand to shore up a weak spot, outside of your regular training session.
Translation-free by design
Icons force you to picture what's happening instead of mentally translating word-for-word — closer to how fluent speakers actually think.
7 languages, and growing
Every language shares the same icon-based sentences and speech grading — pick one and start today.
