## What is DeutschStart?

Most language apps are a game with a German skin. DeutschStart is a course.

Everything you need to get from your very first word to B1 — the level that opens real life in Germany: a job, an apartment, paperwork, conversation. 80 topics. 3,147 words. No ads. No sign-up. No internet required.

THE WHOLE COURSE IS VOICED
Every word, every example and every sentence is spoken by a single professional voice — 7,551 recordings, over three hours of German. The audio lives inside the app: everyone hears the same pronunciation, and it does not depend on whichever voices your phone happens to have.

THE WHOLE ROAD: A0 → B1
• 7 levels, 80 topics — greetings and family, food and the city, the doctor and the workplace, Jobcenter, Behörden, Bewerbung, insurance, living in Germany
• 3,147 words, each with its article, plural, verb forms, a real example and a translation
• Nouns show their gender in colour: der blue, die orange, das green — you take in the gender before you have read the word
• Verbs come with a full present-tense conjugation table, and stem changes are highlighted: sprechen — du sprichst
• Grammar in plain language, with tables and examples — from der/die/das to Konjunktiv II and the passive

FIVE INTERFACE LANGUAGES
English, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Arabic. Every explanation, hint and translation in the language you pick. Switch whenever you like — your progress stays untouched.

FLASHCARDS THAT REMEMBER FOR YOU
Rate how well you knew a word. The app brings it back right before you would forget it: after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days.

A CHECKER THAT ACTUALLY EXPLAINS
Translate sentences into German. It accepts every correct variant, not one "approved" answer — and when you slip, it names the reason: wrong article, wrong ending, wrong verb form, wrong word order, a missing word, a missing umlaut.

EXERCISES THAT DON'T RUN OUT
Almost 2,000 exercises and another 1,600 sentences to translate and build. Not a demo you finish in two evenings — a course that lasts months.
• Translating sentences into German is the heart of it. You type them yourself instead of tapping the right box. The checker knows thousands of correct wordings and takes every mistake apart.
• Rebuilding a sentence from scrambled words, until German word order finally clicks.
• Articles, verb forms, plurals, gap fill, multiple choice.
• A dedicated set of exercises for every grammar rule.
• A final test for every topic and a full exam at the end of every level.

YOUR MISTAKES, YOUR PROGRESS
Every mistake is collected and fed back into review automatically. Daily goal, streak, XP and detailed statistics for every level and topic.

NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR
No account. No email. Your progress lives on your device and nowhere else. Move it to a new phone with a single backup file.

Built for Start Deutsch, Goethe-Zertifikat A2 and B1 and the Integrationskurs — and for the day you stop translating in your head.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-15

DeutschStart now sets your interface language automatically the first time you open the app, based on your device language and region — English, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish or Arabic. You can change it any time in Settings.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-12

Professional audio for the entire course

Every word, every example and every sentence is now spoken by a single professional voice — 7,551 recordings, over three hours of German. It all lives inside the app and works with no internet at all.

Pronunciation used to depend on whichever voices your phone happened to have: for some it sounded decent, for others like a robot. Now everyone hears the same thing — even, natural, correct speech.

Verb conjugation — now as a table

Verb forms used to be a single line of text. For all 473 verbs in the course they are now a full present-tense table: ich, du, er, wir, ihr, sie — all six persons at once. Where the stem changes, as in sprechen — du sprichst, the change is highlighted and explained in a line of its own.

Colour-coded noun gender

The article on each of the 1,822 nouns is now coloured: der blue, die orange, das green. You take in the gender before you have even read the word — and it sticks with it.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-08

Answer sounds
The app now responds to your answer with a short cue: a bright tone when you are right, a muted one when something is wrong. You can tell the result without looking at the screen. If you prefer silence, turn the sounds off in Settings.

Languages on the App Store
The app is now listed correctly as multilingual: English, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and Arabic. Previously only Russian was shown.
