German · the hard part
Every German learner
stays bad at the
same two things.
Noun gender and the case system. The big language apps teach you to order a coffee and leave you guessing at der, die and das forever. German Growth does the hard part, and does it properly.

A trainer, not another phrasebook
der · die · das
A spaced-repetition drill over 2,000 nouns, colour-coded by gender, that remembers which words you get wrong and brings them back until you don't.
All four cases
Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ and Genitiv drilled in real sentences, each one explaining why that article — the part textbooks leave you to infer.
A1 to beyond C2
103 lessons up the CEFR ladder, and a rules library written the way a German schoolbook teaches it: grammar, spelling, reading, writing, speaking.
A garden that grows
Every lesson you finish puts something in a valley you can pinch open and explore. Tap anything out there and it tells you which lesson grew it.
The vocabulary is real
Over 2,000 nouns, each with its article. A large part of them were read out of a printed German picture dictionary, page by page, so the gender on the card is the gender a published German reference prints — not one a machine guessed.
