1,000 German word forms, ordered by frequency in film and TV subtitles. Dialogue is a useful proxy for conversation, but these counts aren’t a measurement of everyday speech.
English meanings and families are a draft. Counts combine meanings and capitalization. Family totals include only the forms in this dataset.
Your learned words and quiz results stay in this browser. Learning progress does not sync between accounts or devices. Use My words → Export progress to keep a backup.
Pronunciation audio is available for words and example sentences, with your device’s German voice used when a recording cannot play. Slow playback preserves pitch.
Pronunciation practice includes dictionary sound guides and sentence examples, with sources credited in the practice panel. Record & score sends your recording to an external speech-assessment service. This app does not store recordings on its server; written scores stay in this browser. Feedback is a practice estimate, not a proficiency test.
