Build your vocabulary in historical languages by reading iconic texts in Latin, Greek, French, Arabic, and German. Instead of practicing language with boring stock sentences, read the real texts that shaped civilization. For centuries, scholars learned languages by studying significant texts, not canned exercises. In CodexTutor, we are inspired by that approach. HOW IT WORKS A passage arrives as a stack of cards, one chunk of the original on each. Read it. Tap to check the translation. Swipe right if you had it, left if you didn't. Tap any word for its dictionary entry: headword, part of speech, what it means. No hovering crib telling you what the sentence says. The lexicon is at your elbow and the meaning is yours to assemble. At the end, you will be able to read the whole passage. Then, you will move on to the next passage! VOCABULARY THAT KNOWS YOUR TEXT Every text carries its own vocabulary, ordered by how often each word appears in that text — not a generic frequency list. When previewing vocabulary, high frequency words are prioritized. The system is meant to making reading the real text easier. THE LIBRARY Readers can choose from iconic texts in Latin, Greek, Arabic, French, and German. Modern languages and some ancient texts have audio. Homer and Virgil. More texts are always being added. WORKS OFFLINE. NO ACCOUNT. Texts download once and stay on your phone. There is no sign-in, nothing to subscribe to, and nothing about your reading leaves your device.

Struggling to remember whether it's der, die, or das? You're not alone — German articles are one of the hardest parts of the language, even for intermediate learners. Der Die Das gives you a focused daily drill to finally make them stick. DRILL GERMAN ARTICLES DAILY Pick the correct article for each noun in fast flashcard sessions. Audio playback and haptic feedback reinforce every answer. Each session builds your article instinct — one noun at a time. ADD ANY NOUN WITH AI See a word you want to learn? Just type the noun. AI instantly fills in the article, translation, plural form, and an example sentence — no manual lookup needed. Build your personal vocabulary list in seconds. TRACK YOUR STREAK & ACCURACY Know exactly where you stand. Your streak keeps you consistent. Per-article accuracy (der / die / das) shows which gender trips you up most. A sparkline chart tracks your trend, and a Hardest Nouns list tells you exactly what to focus on next. WHY DER DIE DAS? Most language apps spread too thin. This app does one thing: trains your article instinct through daily repetition and honest feedback. No gamified distractions — just the focused practice that actually works. Perfect for intermediate learners, heritage speakers, and anyone preparing for TestDaF or Goethe exams. Start your first drill today.
