Learn German by learning
the words that matter most, first

German vocabulary and grammar, ordered the way Zipf's law says real language actually works: a small set of words does most of the work, so that's where you start.

Frequency-first

Nouns unlock in rank order — the words that show up constantly in real German come before ones you'll rarely need.

Interleaved from day one

Gender, case, and article type drill together as soon as a word unlocks — not gender first, cases later.

Adapts to you

Spaced repetition resurfaces whatever you're struggling with more often, and what you've mastered less.

Where it starts

The five most frequent nouns in the curriculum — everything else follows in rank order behind them.

die Zeit time
die Würde dignity
das Leben life
die Macht power
das Jahr year
