Speak German a little more every day. That's the idea behind this app, and it's simpler than you might think. If you've ever wanted to learn German but didn't know where to start, or kept starting and stopping, this app gives you a clear daily routine that actually sticks. Each day you get a focused set of German words to study, practice, and review. No guessing what to do next. No overwhelming word lists. Just a straightforward plan that moves at a pace you can keep up with. The daily word learning plan is the core of the experience. You open the app, see what's on your plan for today, and work through it step by step. You'll study new German words, practice them with related phrases, and complete short exercises before marking the day done. It keeps your streak going and your progress moving forward. Here's what you get inside the app: Home Dashboard: See your daily plan at a glance, track your streak, and check your weekly activity so you always know where you stand. Daily Word Plan: A small, manageable set of German words each day, studied in short focused sessions with phrase support and quick practice built in. Words Module: Study German vocabulary through flashcards, image-to-word matching, quizzes, example sentences, and cloze exercises. Then reinforce it with typing, dictation, listening-based quizzes, and production exercises. Phrasebook: Browse phrases organized by category, listen to how they sound, test yourself with listening quizzes, and practice with phrase dictation. The free plan includes 5 sentences across 30 categories. Premium unlocks 100 sentences per category. Recall Module: Spaced repetition review (SRS) surfaces the German words you need to revisit most, so you remember what you've learned instead of forgetting it a week later. Statistics: A clear overview of your study sessions and progress so you can see how far you've come. Offline Support: Core content is available offline so you can keep learning even without a connection. The app works well whether you're picking up German for the first time or trying to build on what you already know. The step-by-step flow makes it easy to learn German words and phrases without feeling lost, and the variety of exercise types keeps practice from feeling like a chore. What's free and what's premium: The free plan covers the full basic learning journey. You can follow the daily vocabulary plan, study with the core Words modules, complete standard word exercises, listen to 5 phrases in each of the 30 Phrasebook categories, review with spaced repetition, and track your progress in the Stats section. The Premium plan includes everything in the free plan plus advanced Words tools like Weak Spot, Speed Test, and Matching. You also get 100 sentences per category in the Phrasebook, along with Sentence Search, Sentence Review, and Listening Lab. If you want to learn to speak German and actually build a habit around it, this app gives you the structure to make that happen.
