Why use it
What Words gives you
Examples you can inspect
German and English sentence parts are aligned. Point or tap to see which phrase corresponds to which, then play the sentence audio and hear the word in context.
Browse every important word type
Use frequency-ordered lists for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns and prepositions. Any list can open as a prepared Study set instead of ending as a page you merely read.
A path back to recall
Reference pages answer questions, but recall builds memory. Every word and list keeps Study and Games nearby so a lookup can turn into practice.
