Choose it. Recall it. Speak it.

1

Choose it

Be pragmatic and selective: pick the topics you really need, from the doctor to the Ausländerbehörde. Skip the rest.

2

Recall it

Type the missing word in a real sentence. Spaced repetition brings each sentence back just before you would forget it.

3

Speak it

Knowing a word isn't saying it. In the Speaking Gym you say whole sentences out loud and see how accurate and how fast you were.

Practise by topic

Each topic has its own page with example sentences and a 10-sentence round.
