madteaparty 6,355 Report post Posted March 10 I have the J’aime Lire ap for french and looking for something similar for German. In that one I buy books and some have audio, it highlights the words as they’re read to you. Anything like this for German? Many thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aras 355 Report post Posted March 12 (edited) If you use the Kindle app on a tablet, the Whispersync function is very similar. It links up an audiobook with an e-book and it highlights the words as they are being read. But you have to buy both the e-book and the audiobook. To browse books with this functionality, go to the Audible Website, then click on "browse," then under "Lists and Collections" you will see "Non-English Audiobooks," and after you click on that click on the "Whispersync for voice" search parameter that is on the bottom of the left hand side of the screen. https://www.audible.com/a/search?ref=a_a_search_l1_feature_three_browse-bin_0&pf_rd_p=7fe4387b-4762-42a8-8d9a-a63254c74bb2&pf_rd_r=N2DVMMPP5T34JF2W226Q&&feature_six_browse-bin=9178183011&feature_three_browse-bin=9178155011&submitted=1&sort=popularity-rank If you want a low-tech version with easier beginner books, The Command Performance Language Institute has some beginner books in multiple languages that have a corresponding CD to purchase. https://cpli-bookstore.myshopify.com/collections/german Edited March 12 by Aras 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDs wouldn’t work for me as I’m on the road for 6 months. But this whispersync should work, thank you!I am nagged by the fact that I’m sure there’s something out there (interactive e-books meant for German little kids like the J’aime Lire ap has in French for french kids up to 12ish), but I stumbled on the j’aime lire one by accident and will have to wait for German serendipity to hit me, too. 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
