The course
103 lessons up the CEFR ladder — teaching cards, listening, word order, typing and matching. Each one unlocks the next.
Start at A1 →The feed
An endless stack of one-tap cards — gender, meaning, listening. Swipe through it for two minutes and a rare golden card pays triple.
Open the feed →der · die · das
Spaced repetition over … nouns, colour-coded by gender. The ones you get wrong come back until you don't.
Start drilling →The four cases
Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ, Genitiv in real sentences — each answer explaining why that article.
Train cases →Your garden
Every lesson and every noun you master grows something — and the blossom on the tree is your own vocabulary, one flower per word.
See it grow →Word list
Every noun with its article, searchable and filterable by topic.
Browse →Why you are learning this
German and English were the same language two thousand years ago. One of them shifted its consonants and kept its endings; the other did not. That is the whole reason der, die and das exist — and why English lost them.
The vocabulary is real
Each noun carries the article a published German reference prints. A large part of them were read out of a printed picture dictionary, page by page — not guessed by a machine.
