The best app to learn German
There are plenty of apps for learning German. The right one depends on how you learn, but a few things matter for everyone. Here's what to check, and how our German app handles each one.
What to look for in a German app
Grammar explained in your language
Rules make sense much faster when they're explained in a language you already know, with tables and real examples.
Words with audio, grouped by topic
Hearing every word and seeing it next to related words makes it stick far better than a random list.
Real reading
Sooner or later you need real texts. Books with the translation alongside let you read long before you're fluent.
Short, regular practice
A quick quiz after each lesson shows what you've really learned and what to go over again.

Questions
Can you learn German with just an app?
An app is the easiest way to practise every day, and daily practice is what moves you forward. To speak with confidence, also listen to German and talk to people whenever you can.
How much time should I spend each day?
Fifteen to twenty minutes a day works better than one long session a week. Little and often is what makes words stick.
