Edelvox vs ShadowGerman

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.

Learn to speak German the way fluent speakers actually do it: by shadowing. Hear a native German sentence, then say it back — matching the rhythm, melody, and sounds until it feels natural in your own mouth. WHY SHADOWING WORKS Reading and flashcards build knowledge. Speaking builds fluency. ShadowGerman puts your voice at the center: listen, repeat out loud, record yourself, and compare — the fastest way to a natural accent and real confidence. HOW YOU PRACTICE • Listen to a clear, native German voice for every sentence • Slow it down or speed it up until you can keep pace • Record your own voice and play it back against the original • See both waveforms side by side to spot where you drifted • Show the translation — English, Chinese, Japanese or Korean — when you need it, hide it when you don't 1,000 LESSONS, A1 TO C2 A full path from absolute beginner to advanced, graded by the official CEFR levels. Every lesson comes with interactive exercises — multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, translation, and word ordering — that grade themselves the moment you answer. BRING YOUR OWN GERMAN Studying for an exam or reading a book? Import your own text or a PDF and ShadowGerman splits it into clean German sentences you can shadow line by line. A WORDBOOK THAT REMEMBERS FOR YOU Save the words you meet and review them with spaced repetition, so they resurface right before you'd forget. Tap any word to hear it pronounced. WORKS OFFLINE The German voice runs entirely on your device — no internet, no streaming, no waiting. Practice on a plane, on the subway, anywhere.
