How to play
One simple thing.
You’ll hear words and short phrases. Match each one by dragging the image with the same meaning into the box at the bottom. That’s the whole game — here it is in a quick example.
Speak English? The demo opens in Mandarin — so you’ll feel it work on a language that’s brand-new to you.
Want to practise English instead? Tap Learn English any time to flip the lesson around. It’s one short taster lesson either way.
Why this works
Children don’t translate. Neither should you.
Picture a child in a high-chair, mouth clamped shut. The parent says “Open your mouth!” — and the mouth opens. The child can’t read, can’t write, can’t say the words back. But they understood, and they responded with their body.
That physical link between a sound and its meaning is how your first language went in — directly, with no other language in between. Language to Body teaches your next one the same way: you hear a phrase, you respond with your body, and meaning lands without a single moment of translation. It’s the translation habit broken at the root.
So… how did you go?
Can you “zhàn qǐlái” now?
If a phrase or two stuck without you even trying — that’s the whole point. That’s your brain doing exactly what it’s built to do.
And here’s the thing worth knowing: what you just played is a tiny corner of Speech Genie. You met 13 of the 3,000+ mini-stories inside Language to Body — and Language to Body is just one of the exercises in the full system.
