Each topic is a short lesson you page through, with sentences you can listen to and exercises at the end.

Every topic from A1 to B1

Drills that explain

Practice that tells you why.

Short drills after each lesson: one try per question, then you see why the answer is right.

Exercises in every lesson

Lingotivo grammar drill on iPhone: 'der, die oder das?' asks for the article of Wohnung (flat, apartment) with three colour-coded answer buttons.

Hmm … der, die oder das?Hmm… der, die or das?

Word lists A1–B1

Every article in its colour

The Goethe word lists with article, plural, pronunciation and an example sentence for every word, read aloud.

The code German course books use, on every lesson page and word card: der blue, die red, das green and the plural yellow — so you see a noun’s gender before you have to remember it.

The Goethe word lists

der Schlüsseldie Straßedas Bettdie Bücher

Der Schlüssel, die Straße, das Bett.The key, the street, the bed.

Can I take the mock exams on the web?

How do I sign in?

Can I learn other languages here?
