WordLern: 1000 German Words
Spaced repetition flashcards
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The 1000 words that make up most of everyday German - with a real example sentence for every one. No account, no ads, works offline.
Learn the 1000 German words that cover most of everyday speech. Every word comes with a simple German example sentence, so you meet it in context instead of memorising a bare translation.
HOW IT WORKS
WordLern uses the Leitner system, a flashcard method built on spaced repetition. Every word lives in one of five boxes. Answer correctly and it moves up a box and comes back later; answer wrong and it drops back and returns sooner. The words you find hard come around often, the ones you know get out of your way.
A session is ten cards. That is all it takes.
WHAT YOU GET
- 1000 words, chosen from real German corpora - not translated from an English list
- A simple German example sentence for every word
- Pronunciation in the best German voice your device has installed
- Nouns with their articles (das Haus) and verbs in the infinitive
- Home screen and lock screen widgets showing your progress
- A reminder that arrives when cards are actually due, not on a timer
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
No account. No ads. No subscription. No analytics, no tracking, no data collected - the app makes no network calls at all. Everything stays on your device and works offline.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
WordLern 2.0 is a rebuild.
- A new word list. The old one was an English frequency list translated word by word, with duplicates and wrong senses. This one comes from German corpora, hand-checked, one meaning per word.
- A German example sentence for every word.
- Redesigned cards: tap to flip, swipe to answer, shake to undo.
- A progress screen that shows where your words actually sit.
- Home screen and lock screen widgets.
- Reminders that fire when cards come due.
- Pronunciation now uses the highest-quality German voice on your device.
Because the word list was replaced, progress from version 1.0 does not carry over and starts fresh.
