Learn German Speak is a structured daily learning app built for anyone who wants to actually make progress in German, not just download an app and forget about it. The whole idea is simple: show up each day, follow a clear plan, and let the app guide you through what to study. No guessing, no overwhelm. Just a consistent routine that builds over time. Every day, you get a small set of German words to work through in short, focused sessions. The app walks you through each word step by step, using related phrases and quick practice to help things stick. Finish your daily plan, keep your streak alive, and come back tomorrow. That's the core loop, and it works. What's inside the app: Home Dashboard: See your daily plan at a glance, check your streak, and review your weekly activity so you always know where you stand. Daily Word Learning Plan: Each day brings a fresh set of words to study. You go through them in short sessions with phrase support and quick practice built right in. It answers the question every learner has: "What should I study today?" Words Module: Study German words through flashcards, image-to-word matching, quizzes, example sentences, and cloze exercises. Then reinforce what you learned with typing, dictation, listening-based quizzes, and production exercises. Phrasebook Module: Browse phrases organized by category, listen to native audio, take listening quizzes, and practice phrase dictation. It's a practical way to pick up real spoken German phrases across 30 different topics. Recall Module: Spaced repetition review keeps the words you've already learned from slipping away. The app surfaces the right words at the right time so your German vocabulary actually sticks long term. Statistics: Track your study sessions, monitor your progress, and see how your German is growing over time. Offline Support: Core content is available offline, so you can keep studying even when you don't have a connection. This app is a good fit if you want to learn German words daily, build a real study habit, and practice listening and writing in German without a complicated setup. Whether you're just starting out or picking German back up after a break, the daily plan keeps things manageable. Free vs. Premium: The free plan gives you full access to the Home dashboard, the Daily Vocabulary Learning module, standard Words exercises, the basic Phrasebook listening stream with 5 sentences per category across 30 categories, spaced repetition review, and progress tracking in the Stats section. Premium unlocks everything in the free plan plus advanced Words tools including 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. Premium is for learners who want to go deeper and move faster. If you've been looking for a straightforward way to learn to speak German, build a daily German study habit, and actually track your progress, this app gives you the structure to do it.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Learn German sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Learn German Speak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
