Edelvox is for learners stuck at the intermediate plateau (best for A2 and above). You understand many of the grammar rules. The hard part is using them automatically when you actually have to speak. The core method is shadowing, the way polyglots train: listen to a sentence and say it back until it feels natural. Edelvox gives you both sides of it: a free library of scenarios at your level, and, with Premium, your own corrected sentences. You write something real, we correct it, and you say it aloud until the right form comes without effort. The trainers, practice library, grammar reference, and flashcard review are free, with no limits. The personal loop - corrections, custom drills, and conversations about your own writing - is Premium, and your first ones are free to try. WRITE (Premium) Write or dictate anything: your day, an email, the thing you wish you'd said. It doesn't need to be correct - that's what the corrections are for. Unknown word? Say it in English and we'll translate and save it. Every correction comes with a plain explanation, an English translation, and new words with color-coded genders. Then shadow your corrected sentences until they come out smoothly. PRACTICE LIBRARY (Free) 40+ scenarios from A1 to B2: the restaurant, the doctor, apartment hunting, job interviews, making friends. Many are dialogues built around one grammar structure, so you hear the pattern working in real life. Shadow them as often as you like, audio included. Speaking your own side and getting your lines corrected is Premium, with your first role plays free. DRILL (Free) Some things must be automatic, not reasoned out mid-sentence. Ten rapid-fire trainers: articles, cases, conjugation (incl. Präteritum), adjective endings, prepositions, verb-preposition pairs, possessives, participles, pronouns, plurals. Every answer shows a one-line why; one tap expands the full rule. Offline, unlimited reps. Premium adds custom drills: name any topic and we write a fresh passage highlighting that structure. CONVERSE (Premium) One conversation a day with an AI partner about what you wrote. Its questions bring back your words, and the grammar you've been practicing gets highlighted as you use it. GRAMMAR (Free) A full reference organized like a course, from nouns and cases to the subjunctive: plain-language rules, charts, real examples, and writing prompts that feed the correct-and-shadow loop. The matching trainer is one tap away. PRACTICE ON THE GO Play your sentences hands-free with adjustable speed and repeats while you commute, cook, or walk. KEY FEATURES • Ten grammar trainers, offline and unlimited, free • 40+ shadowing scenarios with audio, A1 to B2, free • Full grammar reference, free • Instant corrections with clear explanations (Premium, first ones free) • Dictate in German; English words get translated and saved • Custom drills on any topic (Premium, first ones free) • Daily AI conversation based on your entries (Premium, first one free) • Two shadowing modes: Listen & Repeat, or Speak Along • Flashcards from your own sentences, plus prompts to write with them (adding words is Premium, first ones free) • Streaks, dark mode, data export • No account required. Your data stays on your device PRIVACY We don't store your writing in a database. It goes to OpenAI (corrections, conversation, transcription) and ElevenLabs (audio) under their privacy policies. Only anonymous usage events reach our analytics - never your writing - and you can turn them off in Settings.
