How Jicki works

Imagine you’re at a café on a market square in Berlin. You’re surrounded by lots of people chatting. Music is playing quietly in the background and you’re enjoying a cappuccino.

You make yourself comfy in your chair, close your eyes, enjoy the sun on your face and the atmosphere around you – suddenly you’re immersed in the conversations around you and start listening…

That’s exactly what we mean when we talk about “experiencing a language” and that’s pretty much how our Jicki Audio Showers work. But with one big advantage: You’ve got someone whispering translations of the vocabulary and sentences into your ear.

Jicki is a relaxing and intuitive way to learn languages. With your mind at ease, you’re able to take in and process new information more effectively. That’s why we put relaxation and happiness first when it comes to learning your chosen language.

Our Audio Showers help you learn a new language the same way you learned your mother tongue – first by listening, then by comprehending, and finally by repeating it out loud:

1. Listen: At the start of our lessons, you’ll hear vocabulary and simple sentences with their German translations. Relaxing music helps you to remember the new words.
2. Comprehend: This is followed by a story threaded through the lessons like in an exciting series. You already know the vocabulary so it’s easy for you to understand what’s happening.
3. Speak: At the end of each lesson, we’ve got a few sentences for you to repeat. You can say them silently in your head or out loud. Both are quick and easy ways to improve your pronunciation.

What makes our Audio Showers special is that you decide how, where, and when you learn. All you need to start is your smartphone plus headphones or a loudspeaker.

1. Passive listening: Just play the Audio Showers in the background. It’s a great option when you’re doing something else like working out, cooking, or cleaning, or when you’re traveling in the car or on the train.
2. Active listening: Make yourself comfortable somewhere, close your eyes if you want, and relax as you listen to the words, sentences, and story.
3. Repeat: You can repeat what you’ve heard during the pauses or right away.
4. Read along: If you want to know how to spell the vocabulary, you can read the companion book while listening or catch up later on.

Each Jicki Audio Shower lasts around 15-20 minutes. They fit into your everyday life perfectly and make it easy to stay on track.

Learn a new language and culture in no time and be surprised by how quickly you get results!

Just one lesson a week helps you make great progress and get a good feel for the language.
