Dackel: Learn German by Video

Learn German from real German videos, one short clip at a time. Dackel turns real German videos into a feed of 10–60 second clips. Swipe up for the next clip, read the German subtitles under the video and tap any word you don't know. Words you save come back later in Review, together with the sentence you heard them in. WATCH REAL GERMAN • Short clips cut from real German videos: news, news for kids, a drama series made for learners, street interviews, explainers, reportage and lessons by German teachers • Only human-made German subtitles, never auto-generated ones • Most clips are A1–A2 today, with some at B1–C1 • Your feed is ordered on your phone to fit the words you already know TAP ANY WORD • See its meaning in English or Turkish, plus its base form • Separable verbs and perfect-tense forms are recognized and linked to their verb • Phrases are explained as a whole • Nouns show their plural, verbs their past forms, compound words their parts • Nouns are colored by article: der is blue, die is pink, das is amber, and the article is always written next to the word • Mark a word "I know it" or "Save" it with one tap REVIEW WORDS IN CONTEXT • Saved words come back on a spaced-repetition schedule (a box system) • Each card shows the word in the sentence you saved it from and replays that sentence from the original video • Answer "Remembered" or "Forgot" SKIP WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW • Start with a short vocabulary level test (A1–C1). Made-up words in the test catch guessing. You can skip it • Words you know are remembered and never asked again • My words lists every word in the clips by level. Pick a brush (Know, Learning or Don't know) and tap words, or paint a whole level at once A LITTLE GERMAN EVERY DAY • Set a daily goal in clips • Keep a streak going • Earn XP for effort, like finishing a new clip • Get a celebration screen when you reach your goal • Turn on study reminders at the times you choose MEET DACKEL Dackel the dachshund is your avatar. Scarves and accessories unlock as you learn, like a gold scarf for a 30-day streak. They are earned by learning, never sold.
