No advertising, mandatory account or distracting game mechanics.
Vocabulary size
How many words do you need to understand German comfortably?
There is no exact number. CEFR levels describe what someone can do in a language, not how many words they remember, and published estimates differ several times over depending on which test was used and who was measured. So the scale below shows the order of things rather than thresholds: each level needs a noticeably larger vocabulary than the one before it.
Vocabulary is easiest to count in lemmas — dictionary forms, where speak, speaks and spoke are one word rather than three. For languages with rich inflection that is the only honest unit: counting word forms multiplies the number without saying anything about knowledge.
- a1Simple phrases about yourself and daily life
- a2Everyday situations: shops, transport, the doctor
- b1Unprepared conversation on familiar topics
- b2Fluent talk, news and work topics
- c1Complex texts and shades of meaning
- c2Practically everything you hear and read
Word lists by topic
You can look at the words right now, without installing anything: a translation and an example sentence for each one.
How a lesson works
Three simple steps, nothing extra.
1. A word in a sentence
The app places a German word in context and masks the form you need.
2. Answer and feedback
Choose an option to reveal the sentence and see the correct answer immediately.
3. Review on schedule
The word stays in its themed set and returns sooner when it is difficult.
Why the words stick
Seeing a word once is rarely enough. The app brings it back at the right time and places it in clear context, connecting form, meaning and sound.
