The German vocabulary that defines CEFR A1 — 144 words at the beginner level, each with a natural example sentence and its English meaning. Every card can be read aloud in a native voice, and you can practise saying it back.

Rather than a wall of flashcards, a German word arrives as a gentle notification; one glance reveals the meaning and an example. A little, often, is how vocabulary actually sticks. It’s free.
