About

Learn German Language Course

Read full description

You understand your German course. You can fill in the forms. But at the Bürgeramt counter, nothing comes out. Learn German fixes exactly that. Hear a sentence in a natural German voice, then say it back out loud — one sentence at a time, until it comes out on its own. That is shadowing, the listen-and-repeat method interpreters have used for decades. WHAT YOU GET • Real situations, not textbook dialogues: Bürgeramt, Ausländerbehörde, Hausarzt, Wohnungsbesichtigung, Bewerbungsgespräch • A clear path from A1 to B2, not an endless feed • Natural German voices, female and male, at the speed you choose • Three-layer subtitles: German, your own language, and word by word • Tap any word for an instant explanation with pronunciation and examples • Record yourself and compare with the native voice • Smart review that brings a word back right before you forget it • Paste your own text — a letter from the Jobcenter, a news article — and practise on that MADE FOR LIFE IN GERMANY The content follows the situations you actually meet: registering your address, extending your residence permit, choosing a Krankenkasse, viewing a flat, a parents' evening at school, a letter from the Finanzamt. The B2 texts explain the Integrationskurs and the DTZ exam themselves. FREE & PRO Learn German is free to download and practise with every day. Pro removes the daily limits: 5 imports a day (up to 3,000 characters each), unlimited word explanations and unlimited saved words. $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year (prices may vary by region). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings.

The call
