Turn your scrolling habit into real listening practice. LEARN GERMAN BY WATCHING SHORT VIDEOS Rumi teaches you German the way you actually pick up a language: by watching real people speak it. Swipe through short clips of native speakers chatting, joking, and reacting. That's the German you hear on the street, at work, and on TV. Every clip comes with interactive captions you can tap. Don't know a word? Tap it. Want to remember it? Save it. Your saved words become flashcards with the exact moment you heard them, so you remember the voice and the context. HOW RUMI WORKS ► Scroll real videos – Short clips of native speakers, picked for your level. ► Tap to translate – Tap a word in the captions and see its meaning instantly. ► Flashcards from your clips – Every word you save comes back on a card, with the few seconds of video where it was said. ► Lessons from zero – Short daily lessons that get you building your own German sentences. ► Speak out loud – Every lesson ends with speaking practice. Say the sentences and Rumi listens to check that you got them right. ► Cozy stories – Short illustrated stories for your level, for when you'd rather read. ► Build the habit – Set a daily goal, keep your streak and learn alongside your friends. WHO RUMI IS FOR ► Complete beginners – Start from zero with the lessons and hear real German from day one. ► Learners who feel stuck – Studied for years but still freeze when someone talks to you? Real speed, real accents and speaking practice get you past it. ► People moving to Germany – For work, study or family, get ready for the German you'll actually hear. ► Busy people – A few minutes a day, on the train, in a queue or before bed. ► Travelers – Order food, ask for directions and chat with locals. WHY IT WORKS You didn't learn your first language from a grammar book. You heard it again and again, from real people in real situations. Rumi gives you that same exposure in short clips, then helps you keep the words and say them yourself. A little more sticks with every scroll. Download Rumi and start understanding real German today.

Start thinking in German. Everything you need to learn German in one app, from your very first words to confident business German. A magazine made for your level, grammar lessons, vocabulary, a full dictionary and audio, all connected so each one makes the others click. You have probably tried the scattered version already. A vocab app here, a grammar book there, flashcards you forgot to review, an article you started and never finished. Germanize brings it together in one place, whether you are starting from zero or polishing advanced German. ONE APP. SIX TOOLS. ALL WORKING TOGETHER.Your German magazine, made for your level. Real articles on culture, work and everyday life, written for A1 through C1+. While you read, tap any word to see its meaning and grammar right there in the text. Every article, read aloud. Listen at your own pace. Speed it up, slow it down, read along with the text, then check yourself with comprehension questions until it actually sticks. Grammar that actually teaches. Not just a quiz engine. Real lessons that explain the rules first, the cases, der/die/das, verbs and word order, backed by 1,000+ exercises so the rules become second nature. Finally made visual. Vocabulary at your pace. Try each exercise without seeing the translation. Peek only if you really must. Daily flashcards built on spaced repetition quietly turn new words into words you own. Dictionary? Got that too. 7,000+ words with conjugations, real phrases, regional terms and audio. Everything in one tap.Business German that means business. The vocabulary and phrases you actually use in meetings, emails and the office. Most apps skip this completely. We made it a core part of Germanize, so you can contribute in the room instead of just nodding along. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE. iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, all in sync. Start an article on the train, finish it at your desk, drill words on your wrist. No account. No login. Just open and learn. WHY GERMANIZE IS DIFFERENT. Made for adults who want to learn German properly, whether you are just starting or already advanced. Built around real German text where you tap to learn, not around isolated drills. Quiet and focused, with nothing cluttering the screen. START FREE. AND WE MEAN IT. Most apps lock everything behind a subscription. We do not. Download Germanize and use all the grammar lessons, daily vocabulary practice, articles at every level and the dictionary for free. There is also a coin system built into the learning itself. Every exercise you finish earns coins, and coins give you premium content. No credit card, just keep learning.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Learn German Fast at 100% against Germanize's 50%. Learn German Fast also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (40 vs 2). Germanize's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Learn German Fast sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Germanize sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Germanize holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn German Fast has 40 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Learn German Fast's written reviews are positive against 50% of Germanize's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Learn German Fast ships an update every 5 days, Germanize every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
