Idiomatics

iPhone / Jeux

Idiomatics is a language game about idioms — expressions that don’t mean what they literally say, but reveal how people think, feel, and see the world.

Play through idioms from many languages and cultures. Guess their meanings, notice patterns, and discover surprising connections between languages that seem far apart.

This is not a traditional language-learning app.
There are no grammar drills, no pressure, and no streaks to maintain.
Idiomatics is designed to be curious, playful, and rewarding — whether you play for one minute or a whole session.
